According to folk beliefs, the 1st day of Tet is a very important day, affecting the fortune of the whole year. This year, the 1st day falls on the day of Thach - a good day, favorable for many things, easy to achieve the desired results.
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.
