I was becoming more and more fascinated by Japan and its culture until hearing of yakudoshi years. Especially as I am now in one of them.

So far, so good. But I'm planning to be in Japan a couple of times before the yakudoshi period ends; perhaps I should reconsider my travel plans.

Or not. 24 and 41 (Western) were both very good as I recall; plenty of good times, plenty of travel, and happily in love. Though not with the same person, for you inquisitive types.

Gadzooks, am I in a reverse yakudoshi cycle where I'm going to be swept off my feet by someone this year?
