    Summary


    In English

    Auspicious days to have a haircut according to Balinese astrology.

    Sunday: could be good or bad, frequent sickness

    Monday: most auspicious, fortunate

    Tuesday: inauspicious, creates mental fluctuation

    Wednesday: auspicious, loved by partners or friends

    Thursday: inauspicious, creates enemies

    Friday: so-so, short-lasting friendship or relationship

    Saturday: not good, creates frequent disease


    Full moon's day: most auspicious, long-age and healthy

    New moon's day: good, long age.

    WHY HAVING A HAIRCUT ON MONDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS? According to Wariga Gemet and several other types of wariga (Balinese astrological texts), Monday and Wednesday are considered the best days for haircuts. Monday is a day ruled by watery element and coolness, so it is hoped that when someone cuts their hair on Monday, their life will be as safe and prosperous as water. Wednesday is a day associated with Lord Wisnu and Goddess Sri, because on Buda Cemeng (a special Wednesday where Balinese five-day week and seven-day week cycles meet), Hindus in Java and Bali worship Goddess Sri for prosperity.

    Cutting hair is a sacred activity for the Hindus, especially for virgin women. Virgin hair is often used to decorate barong and rangda, because virginity symbolizes purity and is highly valued in Hinduism. Therefore, cutting one’s hair can mean something like cutting one’s crown and honor. If this is done on inauspicious days, then the growth of the hair (honor, reputation, prosperity, health) will be disrupted. Because of that, the day chosen should have nourishing element (water element), namely Monday and Wednesday.

    Full moon’s day and new moon’s day are also good days for cutting hair because they are closely related to the water cycle in the world. Due to the moon’s gravity, tides happen on Earth. Because water is the main element in life, the full moon and tilem are also related to life and nature’s coolness. It is hoped that the hair cut on the right day will grow well along with the growth of one’s welfare, health and fortune.

    In Balinese

    In Indonesian

    Hari baik dan buruk potong rambut

    Minggu: baik dan buruk, sering sakit

    Senin: paling baik, selamat

    Selasa: tidak bagus, pikiran goyah

    Rabu: bagus, dicintai sahabat

    Kamis: tidak bagus, cepat bermusuhan

    Jumat: baik dan buruk, cepat putus pertemanannya

    Sabtu: tidak bagus, sering sakit


    Purnama: paling baik, panjang umur dan sehat

    Tilem: baik, panjang umur


    MENGAPA SENIN DAN RABU BAIK UNTUK POTONG RAMBUT? Menurut Wariga Gemet dan beberapa jenis wariga lain, hari Senin dan Rabu dianggap sebagai hari terbaik untuk potong rambut. Senin adalah hari yang dikuasai sifat air dan kesejukan, sehingga diharapkan ketika seseorang memotong rambut hari Senin, kehidupannya akan selamat dan sejahtera seperti air. Rabu adalah hari yang terkait dengan Betara Wisnu dan Betari Sri, karena para hari Rabu Cemeng, umat Hindu di Jawa dan Bali melakukan pemujaan kepada Betari Sri untuk kemakmuran dan kesejahteraan.

    Memotong rambut adalah kegiatan sakral bagi umat Hindu, apalagi bagi perempuan yang masih perawan. Rambut perawan sering digunakan untuk hiasan barong dan rangda, sebab keperawanan sama dengan kesucian dan sangat dijunjung tinggi dalam Hindu. Karena itu, memotong rambut dapat berarti bagaikan memotong mahkota dan kehormatan seseorang. Apabila ini dilakukan pada hari yang kurang tepat, maka tumbuhnya rambut itu (kehormatan, reputasi, kemakmuran, kesehatan) akan terganggu. Karena itu, dipilih hari yang memiliki unsur pemeliharaan alam semesta (unsur air), yakni Senin dan Rabu.

    Purnama dan tilem juga adalah hari yang baik untuk memotong rambut karena purnama dan tilem sangat erat kaitannya dengan siklus air di dunia. Karena gravitasi bulan, air di Bumi mengalami pasang dan surut. Karena air adalah elemen utama dalam kehidupan, purnama dan tilem juga terkait dengan kehidupan dan kesejukan alam. Diharapkan rambut yang dipotong pada hari yang tepat akan tumbuh dengan baik seiring dengan tumbuhnya kesejahteraan, kesehatan dan kemujuran seseorang.
