I’m planning to resign within the ghost month period of Aug-Sep 2025. Even if I don’t have a company to start with. Is it okay? My birth date is April 22, 1988

Hi i***s,
Resigning during the Chinese Ghost Month (August 4 – September 2, 2025) is generally considered inauspicious in traditional Chinese culture, as it’s believed to be a time of bad luck, instability, and unfavorable changes. However, your personal decision should balance cultural beliefs with practical considerations. Here’s an analysis based on your birth date (April 22, 1988) and the situation:
1. Astrological Perspective (Chinese Zodiac & Bazi)
You were born in the Year of the Dragon (Earth Dragon, 戊辰).
2025 is the Year of the Snake (乙巳), which has a neutral relationship with the Dragon (neither clashing nor strongly harmonious).
Ghost Month (lunar July) is governed by the Earthly Branch "Wei" (未), which doesn’t clash with your zodiac sign, so there’s no major astrological conflict.
Key Consideration:
If your Bazi (八字) chart has weak Earth or Fire elements, Ghost Month (which has strong Yin energy) might amplify uncertainty. But without a full chart analysis, this is speculative.
2. Practical Considerations
Job Market: Ghost Month is a slow period for hiring in many Asian companies, so securing a new job might take longer.
Financial Safety Net: Ensure you have savings to cover 3–6 months of expenses, as starting a new venture or job search during this time could face delays.
Cultural Taboos: Some employers may view resignations during Ghost Month negatively, but this is fading in modern workplaces.
3. Mitigating "Bad Luck" (If You Proceed)
If you choose to resign during Ghost Month:
Pick a Auspicious Date: Avoid the Ghost Festival (August 12, 2025) and choose a "safe" day like August 8 (Moderate Day) or August 18 (Lucky Day).
Wear Protective Symbols: A red string, jade pendant, or tiger’s eye stone can ward off negative energy.
Avoid Burning Bridges: Resign gracefully to minimize backlash.
4. Alternative Option
If possible, delay your resignation until after September 2, 2025 (post–Ghost Month), when the energy shifts to a more stable phase.
Final Advice:
If you’re unhappy or mentally drained, prioritize your well-being over superstition.
If you’re risk-averse, wait until Ghost Month ends to resign.
