For those seeking to enhance their romantic prospects and social connections, a renowned Taiwanese numerologist has outlined four specific practices to observe on Qixi Festival, the traditional Chinese Valentine's Day.

This year, August 19th is Qixi Festival. On that day, the 'Joy Star' and 'Peach Blossom Star' are located in the center of the house's nine grids, governing interpersonal relationships, opposite-sex缘, and career.

According to numerologist Yang Deng-ke, the festival, celebrated on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, is a prime time to cultivate good fortune in relationships. This year, Qixi falls on August 19th. Yang advises placing flowering plants or pink crystal balls in the center of one's home, an area he identifies as the 'peach blossom star' and 'joy star' for the day. This placement is believed to influence interpersonal relationships, romantic luck, and even career prospects. He cautions against using artificial flowers or empty furniture, as these could attract insincere relationships.

Another recommended practice involves 'drinking Heavenly Grandchild water.' Legend has it that water collected between 5 and 7 a.m. on Qixi, whether from a well, spring, or tap, possesses special properties. Bathing with this water, infused with peach blossoms, is said to boost romantic luck. The water can also be used for medicinal purposes, believed to treat chronic illnesses. Washing one's face with it is thought to enhance wisdom and social harmony, while bathing can improve exam luck and ward off misfortune. Yang suggests washing one's hair on this day to cleanse worries and impurities. For individuals experiencing mental distress or perceived spiritual afflictions, bathing with Qixi water is recommended for recovery.

The Heavenly Grandchild water can be stored for a long time without spoiling. It can be used to decoct medicine, and it is said to treat chronic diseases. Using it to 'wash the face is called opening the face, opening wisdom, and opening harmony.' Bathing can also help with exam luck and remove bad luck.

Furthermore, Yang suggests that women can enhance their attractiveness by dyeing their fingernails on Qixi, also known as the 'Red Phoenix Day.' Young women might find this practice boosts their chances of romance, while older women may experience benefits related to longevity. The recommended colors are cinnabar red, pink, or crimson, with white and black to be avoided.

On the day of Qixi, young girls can use dyeing their fingernails to increase their attractiveness to the opposite sex. Young girls can increase the movement of the Red Phoenix Star. For older women, it has the meaning of extending life.

Finally, Yang recommends visiting a Yue Lao (matchmaker) temple to pray for a good marriage. He suggests offering sweets to 'sweeten the matchmaker's mouth,' fresh flowers to symbolize blossoming relationships, round fruits for completeness, red dates for timely marriage, and dried longan for smooth outcomes. Petitioners should provide their full name, address, birth date, and detailed descriptions of their ideal partner to aid the matchmaker. A promise to offer wedding cakes and sweets upon finding a suitable partner is also advised, with an emphasis on fulfilling this commitment.

Remember to tell Yue Lao your name, address, lunar birth date, and ideal partner conditions. The more detailed, the better, so that Yue Lao can help you find a suitable partner.
