SEE THE SPACE respectfully wishes our valued clients a Prosperous Grand Opening – welcoming wealth and new opportunities. We are pleased to share auspicious dates and hours for 2026, supporting a launch that is timely, age-compatible, and sustainable in the long term.

• Prioritize dates such as the 6th and 8th days of the first lunar month
• Combine with auspicious hours compatible with the owner’s age
• Stay flexible by using a representative opener or auspicious hours if needed

Why Open After Tết Instead of During the First Days of Tết?

In reality, not every business is suitable for opening during the first 1–5 days of Tết. Choosing to open after Tết offers several advantages:

• Staff availability is stable, and customers return to their normal routines
• Easier to organize a well-prepared, professional opening ceremony
• Avoids peak holiday travel and festival crowds
• Still retains strong spring energy if the right auspicious date and time are chosen

For these reasons, days after the 5th day of the Lunar New Year are highly favored by business owners, offices, and retail stores.

• They are past the peak Tết holiday period
• It is easier to select auspicious morning hours

How to Choose Auspicious Opening Hours Based on Zodiac Age 

Even if the date is favorable but not perfectly compatible with the owner’s age, businesses can optimize results by choosing an auspicious (Hoàng Đạo) hour—a very common practice in business feng shui.

Recommended Auspicious Hours

• Thìn hour (07:00 – 09:00): Opens financial luck, suitable for all business models
• Tỵ hour (09:00 – 11:00): Smooth trading, ideal for signing contracts and welcoming customers
• Mùi hour (13:00 – 15:00): Stability and sustainability, suitable for offices and service businesses

Optional Hours (If Compatible with Age)

• Dần hour (03:00 – 05:00): Suitable for early ceremonial rituals
• Ngọ hour (11:00 – 13:00): Suitable for retail stores and showrooms
• Tuất hour (19:00 – 21:00): Suitable for service or online businesses

Hours to Avoid

• Tý hour (23:00 – 01:00)
• Sửu hour (01:00 – 03:00)
• Dậu hour (17:00 – 19:00) if not compatible with the owner’s age

Suggested Hours by Common Zodiac Groups

• Rat – Dragon – Monkey: Prioritize Thìn and Tỵ hours
• Tiger – Horse – Dog: Suitable for Ngọ and Thìn hours
• Rabbit – Goat – Pig: Best with Mùi and Tỵ hours
• Snake – Rooster – Ox: Suitable for Tỵ and Sửu hours (if the date allows)

💡 If the owner’s age is incompatible with the chosen date:

• Ask someone with a compatible age to perform the opening ritual and “receive the first luck”
• Or select a strong auspicious hour to neutralize incompatibility

Feng Shui Notes for Opening After Tết

• Perform the opening ritual and officially open the doors within the same auspicious time frame
• Avoid opening too late in the day
• Keep the space bright, clean, and harmonious; avoid arguments on the first day
• Offices and businesses should prioritize morning openings to attract positive energy

Principles for Choosing a Prosperous Opening Date After Tết 2026

When selecting an opening date after Tết, consider four key principles:

1. Choose auspicious (Hoàng Đạo) days; avoid inauspicious or conflicting days
2. Avoid zodiac conflicts with the business owner
3. Prioritize days associated with favorable stars for wealth and business
4. Flexibly optimize with auspicious hours if the date is only “moderately good”

Among these factors, the opening hour plays a particularly important role—especially when it is not possible to select a date that is fully compatible with the owner’s age.

After the Lunar New Year (Tết) holiday, many businesses choose to hold their grand opening after Tết rather than during the first days of the new year. This allows more time to prepare staff, premises, and operational plans. However, in business feng shui, choosing the right date – right time – and compatible zodiac age remains a key factor in ensuring a prosperous opening, smooth operations, and sustainable financial growth throughout the year.

This article summarizes auspicious opening dates after Tết in the Lunar year 2026, highlights the commonly chosen 6th and 8th days of the first lunar month, and provides guidance on selecting auspicious hours based on the owner’s zodiac age (Chi) to flexibly suit different business models.
