As you see, some star signs have a choice of colours, others don’t! Why not try out using your “correct” colour and see if your luck improves? Of course if you already have a dauber and don’t want to change, you could have a go wearing something of the appropriate colour, or bringing a talisman, lucky charm, or soft toy in the appropriate colour! I knew a bloke whom used to come to bingo who was obsessed by the building toy “Lego” and always used to bring a coloured Lego brick with him, the colour changing depending on the day of the week. He told me each day had its lucky colour! I looked this up on the internet and sure enough there is something- it’s a Thai tradition relating to the Gods that rule each day. And the Gods have a colour- :
Monday Yellow
Tuesday pink
Wednesday green
Thursday orange
Friday blue
Saturday purple
Sunday red
I think there’s a set of coloured daubers available online that have all these colours in them, which makes it easy if you go to Bingo on different days of the week.
See how you get on! Good luck my colourful friends!
