Auspicious Dates for Business Opening — Singapore 2026
The next auspicious date for business opening in Singapore is 16 August 2026 (Sunday), a Full-officer Yellow Path day, according to the traditional Chinese almanac (Tong Sheng 通胜). 30 qualifying dates fall in the next four months; the full list is below. Dates are computed daily by Yixin Academy's almanac engine following the Xie Ji Bian Fang Shu (協紀辨方書) Twelve Day Officers tradition. One caution applies to everyone: if a date's clashed zodiac (冲) is your birth year animal, avoid it even if it is otherwise favourable.

How these dates are chosen
Three officers carry the explicit association "opening for business": 满 (Full — abundance), 成 (Success — completion), and 开 (Open — the initiator). Just as explicitly, 执, 收 and 闭 days list business opening among their taboos. The almanac is unusually opinionated about openings — which is why the tradition survives in every Chinatown shophouse calendar.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best day to open a new business or shop in Singapore?
The nearest qualifying date is 16 August 2026. Three officers favour openings — 满, 成, and 开 — so qualifying dates come up often; the full list is above.
Why do so many officers apply to business openings?
The almanac is unusually opinionated about openings specifically — 满, 成, and 开 all favour it, while 执, 收, and 闭 explicitly warn against it. It's one of the most clearly-ruled events in the whole system.
Does the date matter more than the time (吉时) for a shop opening?
Both matter — the date sets the day's overall energy, and the auspicious hour narrows it further. Check today's auspicious hours on the daily almanac page once you've picked a date.
Core annotations only. A complete tongshu layers further star systems; personal date selection for major events requires a full BaZi reading.
