Inauspicious days for raising new Tibetan prayer flags
Inauspicious Days (Baden) for the Earth-Pig Year 2146 (2019 ) according to the Du-Khor Be-kar - Astrology of the Kalachakra.
According to the Tibetan Calendar there are certain days when a "Baden entity" is present. Those days are inauspicious for raising new Tibetan prayer flags. A Baden Senpo is a demon of the naga class of elemental spirits. Raising flags when that energy is active can actually have a negative effect.
The following dates as stated below are days that are considered inauspicious to raise Tibetan prayer flags:
Earth-Pig Year 2146 (2019)
- February : 12, 23, 26
- March: 13, 24, 27
- April: 9, 20
- May: 2, 8, 19
- June: 1, 4, 6, 17
- July: 11, 24
- August: 7, 19
- September: 3, 15, 29
- October: 11, 23
- November: 6, 19
- December: 3, 15, 30
- January (2020): 11, 22, 25
- February: 7, 18
Please note that the dates are just days that are not good for initially planting the flags. Some people have written to ask if they need to take down prayer flags on these days. Certainly not; once they are up, it's okay to keep them up until they disintegrate or until they are replaced with new flags.
As far as what days are best for raising new prayer flags: that really depends on a person's individual astrology. Without consulting an astrologer, I would say the best time to put up new flags are in the mornings on sunny, windy days.
Mondays are considered especially good. Offering prayers can be done before raising the flags.
