Vietnam's 2026 Lập Thu season highlights lucky zodiac signs and money‑making tips

The Lập Thu (Beginning of Autumn) solar term for 2026 starts on 7 August 2026 (Gregorian), coinciding with the 25th day of the sixth lunar month of the Bính Ngọ year, at about 20:41 local time in Vietnam. It marks the transition from summer to autumn and lasts until the Xú Thử term around 22‑23 August.

During this period three zodiac signs are considered most auspicious. The Monkey (Thân) ranks first, gaining strong support from the autumn metal element, making it a favorable time for decisive action, career proposals and harvesting financial gains. The Rooster (Dậu) ranks second, benefiting from a disciplined, orderly atmosphere that encourages meticulous work and steady savings. The Dragon (Thìn) ranks third, also receiving favorable seasonal influence.

A complementary guide recommends three “Thu”‑based actions to improve personal finances during Lập Thu: “thu hoạch” (harvest) – collect outstanding debts and finalize pending contracts; “thu vén” (tighten) – cut unnecessary expenses, cancel unused subscriptions and allocate income into spending, saving and reserve portions; and “thu hút” (attract) – use disciplined budgeting to draw further financial opportunities.
