Numerologist Warns Against 'Ghost Month' Fashion Faux Pas, Advises 4 Zodiac Signs to Be Extra Cautious

A Taiwanese numerologist has advised against wearing specific types of clothing during the seventh lunar month, traditionally known as the "ghost month," to avoid attracting negative influences. Yang Deng-ke warned that avoiding all-black, all-white, or all-red outfits is recommended, suggesting that solid colors can attract spirits. He explained that black might attract "good brothers" (spirits), white could be mistaken for mourning attire, and red might remind spirits of blood and death, potentially leading to harm.

The seventh lunar month is here, and there are many taboos in folk beliefs. It is better to believe than not to believe.

Yang also cautioned against overly revealing clothing, particularly off-the-shoulder tops, stating that "lustful ghosts" are attracted to such attire. He explained that spirits can influence people to pat someone's shoulder or head, extinguishing a spiritual "fire" and making them vulnerable to possession. He advised avoiding revealing clothes at night and, if worn during the day, staying away from places with heavy yin energy, such as cemeteries, hospitals, or abandoned buildings.

All-black can easily attract yin, attracting good brothers; all-white might make good brothers think there is a funeral, attracting good brothers to find their own kind; red clothes will make good brothers think of blood, think of the scene of death and run over, triggering sadness and doing things that harm the living.

Furthermore, the numerologist discouraged ripped clothing, including torn pants, as they might lead spirits to believe the wearer is a "poor ghost," making them susceptible to possession. He also advised against wearing wedding dresses, as they could provoke jealousy among single spirits, and recommended against letting hair hang loose, especially past the waist, as it could be mistaken for a ghost's appearance. These warnings are particularly important for individuals born in the Year of the Rat, Ox, Rabbit, and Horse, who are said to be clashing with the Tai Sui (Jupiter's position) in 2026 and should be extra cautious during the seventh lunar month.

Lustful ghosts are particularly fond of exposed women, especially those wearing off-the-shoulder styles.

Wearing ripped clothes or ripped pants can easily make good brothers think of 'poor ghosts' and treat them as their own kind, making it easy to be possessed by yin.
