Moon Money Request Day, Wealth Calling Day, or a day to take a chance on luck as wished.
Astrologer Lak Horathabodi According to the astrological calendar, Moon Money Request Day's auspicious time is on 17 Feb at 19:01. The secret to requesting wealth on the new moon day is that it is believed to be a powerful day when the moon's energy is at its peak.
In February, the auspicious time is on 17 Feb 2026 at 19:01. Actually, this auspicious time is ideal for performing rituals to open wealth and do good deeds. You can start chanting prayers 12 hours before and continue up to 12 hours after the exact auspicious time.
"Amavasya" occurs every month; it is the new moon day meaning the moon is dark. It is believed that heaven, the human world, and the underworld are connected. This day, when the new moon shines brightly, is said to hold the strongest energy. According to Thai astrology, performing meritorious acts and conducting the Moon Money Request ritual or chanting before bed on this day will help smooth your finances for a month until the next new moon day.
1. Clean your wallet by removing trash, receipts, and anything unnecessary.
2. Arrange your banknotes, placing money in amounts you like or in auspicious numbers.
3. After placing the money and completing the prayer, do not use the money inside the wallet within 24 hours (or if uneasy, keep the money you plan to use outside that wallet).
4. Absolutely do not lend money to anyone on this day.
