Who else is like this? Waking up early, half-asleep, grabbing whatever’s at hand near the alley to make merit—sometimes a packaged curry, instant noodles, or canned fish... Does it bring merit? It does, but if you want your merit to work "precisely," like targeted ads hitting the right audience, there’s a technique.
Sunday: For those power-driven seeking fame. If you want people to respect you, be favored by your boss, or gain widespread recognition, focus on making merit with items in “orange or red.” The simplest is a boiled egg with a slightly orange shell, or a spicy red curry. These help boost your spiritual power, prestige, and authority loudly and clearly.
Monday: For the affectionate who seek sponsors and supporters. If you’re feeling a lack of warmth, abandoned, or want kindness, prioritize making merit with “pure white” items like plain milk or fresh bottled water. The power of purity enhances kindness and popularity, attracting affection everywhere and support from elders.
Tuesday: For those struggling financially, needing to stay alert and keep money flowing smoothly. If your finances are tight, unable to make ends meet, it’s recommended to offer “string-like” items such as rice noodles, regular noodles, or egg noodles. According to tradition, this promotes liquidity, helping cash flow as smoothly as noodle strands, making financial management much easier.
Wednesday: For negotiators and closers. Salespeople, agents, or anyone who works through communication should make merit with “green leafy vegetables or green Thai desserts” like pandan-flavored wet Thai desserts. Green is the color of Mercury (communication), which strengthens speech power to attract wealth; what you say persuades others easily, making negotiations and sales seamless.
Thursday: For those seeking stability and sharp intellect. If you want to enhance intelligence, wisdom, and sustainable life stability, offer “pumpkin or golden yellow sweets” such as thong yip, thong yod, or thong ek. The golden yellow color symbolizes wisdom and wealth, strengthening your life’s foundation so it won’t be easily swayed.
Friday: For the charming who want to attract luck and love. If you want your life to be sweet and attract good things, offer “fragrant items or flower syrup desserts,” including fruits with pleasant aromas. The blessing of fragrance dispels gloom and attracts both fortune and good people into your life.
Saturday: For the resilient who aim for real estate and wealth. If you’re planning to buy a house, land, or face life’s hardships, focus on making merit with “dark-colored items” like red rice or taro/sweet potatoes. These grow from the earth and help strengthen endurance, perseverance, and breakthrough luck in acquiring major assets.
Before making merit each time, don’t forget to set a firm intention and pour water to dedicate the merit. May blessings support and fortune follow everyone.
