Write a wish for clear weather on a gum wrapper.

Write a wish for clear weather on a gum wrapper.

This is a charm that lets you put a wish into an ordinary, small item.

All you need is the silver wrapper from a stick of gum.

Carefully write “May it be sunny” on it, then carry it in your wallet or pocket.

Silver foil, with its sheen close to gold, has long been believed to attract good fortune and luck; by inscribing your wish, it becomes a medium to carry that power to the heavens.

Wearing it like a protective amulet can also provide comfort, as your wish stays close to you.

It requires no special preparation and can be done on a whim, which is part of its appeal.

It’s a perfect method for those who want to wish for good weather while boosting their everyday luck.

A charm to make it sunny three days later

When you want it to be sunny three days from now, this slightly elaborate charm is just the thing.

Prepare a stone about the size of your palm and place it in a dark spot, such as under your bed.

Lay a handkerchief in front of it, then arrange a mirror and a ten-yen coin on top, and chant three times: “Oh princess, oh princess, please grant us clear skies on the appointed day.” On the night of the following day, wrap a white thread once all the way around the stone, and on the final day, after saying “thank you” to express your gratitude, gently nudge the stone toward the north.

This series of steps is a process of settling the heart day by day.

By the time your layered prayers reach the sky, the weather may just have changed.

One way to help make your wishes about the weather come true is a concept called “pre-celebration.” This means assuming that something that hasn’t happened yet has already come to pass, and expressing gratitude and joy in advance.

For example, if you want sunshine on an important day, celebrate it wholeheartedly by the day before, saying, “I’m so glad it’s sunny—thanks to that, I had a wonderful day.” Speaking it aloud or writing it in a journal can also be effective.

By affirming the future within yourself, your heart feels brighter, and you may attract a favorable flow.

Rather than simply waiting for your wish, celebrate it ahead of time as a way of sending an early message to the heavens—a positive form of prayer.

Take out new shoes.

Take out new shoes.

This is a charm said to attract sunny weather by placing a new pair of shoes in the entryway the night before.

Leave them in their box or bag with the price tag still attached, and set them out before going to bed.

The next morning, remove the price tag and carefully wipe the shoes with a white cloth.

Place the shoes neatly side by side, put your hands together, and say, “Please give these shoes a chance to shine today.” With that, the ritual is complete.

It is believed that these shoes will open up your luck and even have a positive effect on the weather.

It requires little preparation, and as your anticipation for the day grows, your mood will naturally brighten as well.

A wish that begins at the doorstep can also give you the strength to take that first step forward.

Staring at the sky and casting a spell

Staring at the sky and casting a spell

When you’re hoping for the sky to clear right now, try this charm of gazing at the sky.

Bring your hands together in front of your face so they lightly touch your cheeks.

Then, look up at the sky from under your brows and focus without blinking for 10 seconds.

During that time, recite: “Dear God, today is an important day.

Please, be in a better mood.

If you make it sunny, I will not forget this kindness.” What matters most is to do it earnestly, as if you are truly speaking to God from your heart.

This short ritual holds strong wishes and sincerity.

By putting your feelings into words, you organize your thoughts and may feel not so much that you’re moving the weather, but that the clouds in your heart are clearing.

Cast a spell on the mirror

Cast a spell on the mirror

A fair-weather charm that requires strong will and faith uses a mirror.

Place a small mirror by your pillow, reflect your own image, and recite ten times: “Amaterasu-ōmikami, please lend me your infinite power.

Is there any being more precious than you?” After that, turn the mirror toward the sun, and it is said that your wish will reach the sky.

Amaterasu-ōmikami has long been worshipped as the sun deity, and the idea is to let your wish ride on that light.

It’s important to speak the words with respect and prayer, and to perform the ritual with sincerity.

Rather than producing immediate results, it is characterized as a ceremony for strongly conveying your intention to the heavens, giving you time to focus deeply.

In conclusion

We’ve introduced various charms for bringing sunny weather.

Even if you don’t usually believe in fortune-telling or charms, why not try one when it really matters? Of course, we can’t say they’ll work 100% of the time.

But simply waiting anxiously for the day to come will only leave your heart unsettled.

Do everything you can and welcome the day with a bright, clear feeling!
