Auspicious Dates for Starting a New Job — Singapore 2026
The next auspicious date for starting a new job in Singapore is 22 August 2026 (Saturday), a Success-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
建 (Establish) is the officer of beginnings — its first classical association is 上任赴职, taking up a post. Note the mirror-image taboos: 除, 满 and 闭 days all explicitly warn against starting a post. If you can choose your start date, this is one of the easiest elections to apply.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best day to start a new job in Singapore?
The nearest qualifying date is 22 August 2026, a 建 (Establish) day — the officer whose first classical association is taking up a post.
What if my start date is fixed by my employer and falls on an avoided day?
This guidance is a preference, not an obligation — a fixed start date is not a problem to solve, just information. If it matters to you, a consult can suggest a small mitigating ritual.
Does this apply to a promotion, not just a new job?
Yes — 上任赴职 covers any taking-up of a post, including internal promotions and role changes, not only external new jobs.
