I apparently made it through the "major calamity" year of 42 without too many consequences as far as I can recall. Or maybe I have just blocked it out.
You're welcome to ignore it, but the article does say

"At the Dazaifu Tenmangū shrine, moreover, the taiyaku ages are defined as 25, 42, and 61 years for men."

Which is 24, 41 and 60 under the Western method of describing your age.

The extra Yakudoshi year of 60 (61 in Shinto) is not acknowledged everywhere. I suggest you ignore this thread and pretend you never read it.


MrLapLap's only yakudoshi was unquestionably the worst time in his life so far.
