Feng shui expert, architect Pham Cuong said that the 1st day of Tet 2026 has stars shining such as Thien Hy, Tam Hop and belongs to the Tu Menh Hoang Dao day, so overall it is a beautiful day.
However, because it coincides with the Earthworm star, the level of auspiciousness is somewhat reduced. However, this is still a day with an advantage in seeking love over wealth.
