According to our ancestors, there are several activities that can bring disaster and bad luck if not done at the right time. Two of these activities are getting a haircut and going fishing.
Getting a haircut is something that many people do regularly, often without much thought. Similarly, fishing is a popular hobby for many people, especially fishing at night.
However, our ancestors have advised us that it is extremely unlucky to get a haircut on the first day of the lunar month and to go fishing on the full moon night.
Why shouldn’t you get a haircut at the beginning of the month?
Regardless of whether someone is rich or poor, our ancestors believe that getting a haircut on the first day of the lunar month is inauspicious. Hair and teeth are considered essential parts of a person’s body, and based on the experience of our ancestors, getting a haircut is believed to have an impact on a person’s health, especially for those who have not cut their hair for a long time. Many people experience illness after getting a haircut.
The superstition of avoiding haircuts on the first day of the month may be due to the belief that cutting hair is a symbolic act of cutting away luck and prosperity. Actions that involve breaking, cutting, abandoning, or separating are deemed inauspicious when starting something new. The first day of the month marks the beginning of a new month, so people in the past avoided getting a haircut on this day.
Getting a haircut on the first day of the month is associated with loss, separation, and negative impact on business and finances for the entire month. It is believed to be a bad omen.
In addition, the first day of the lunar month and the full moon night are days when the moon cycle affects the Earth. Therefore, our ancestors have traditionally avoided activities that may have physical effects on the body during these days, such as avoiding intimate relationships or childbirth.
Despite the financial incentives that may be offered, it is advisable not to get a haircut on the first day of the lunar month, regardless of one’s wealth or social status. Furthermore, getting a haircut is not an urgent matter, so delaying it by a day or two is not a problem. Therefore, if you want to get a haircut, it is best to plan your visit to the barber and avoid the first day of the lunar month.
Why shouldn’t you go fishing on the full moon night?
Going fishing at night is a popular pastime for many people, as fish are known to be more active during the night, making it easier to catch larger fish. In particular, the full moon night is when fish tend to move in groups, making it the most rewarding time for fishing.
However, our ancestors avoided fishing on the full moon night because it was believed to bring bad luck. The full moon night is associated with supernatural phenomena, and people going fishing on this night may encounter unfortunate events or bring trouble upon themselves.
In addition, according to ancient beliefs, the full moon night is a time when unusual and paranormal phenomena may occur, potentially causing harm to those who go fishing. The full moon night is also a time of increased celestial and magnetic activity, which can have an impact on a person’s health and fortune while fishing. It is believed that there might also be the risk of encountering mythical creatures or fish turning into monsters. Therefore, it is best to avoid fishing on the full moon night.
However, for many fishermen, fishing on the full moon night can lead to a bountiful catch, so it may bring them financial gain.
If you enjoy fishing, it is advisable to avoid going fishing on the full moon night to prevent any possible bad luck or misfortune.
