* '''Metalsday''' is a lucky day for trading and doing business, thought of as the "money" day. It is considered auspicious for making important sales and purchases, and it is particularly lucky to be paid on a Metalsday. These are the reasons why Metalsday is assigned the color yellow, as it reminds one of the color of gold.

* '''Years of Earth''' are considered to be years of stability, least likely to bring about meaningful changes. People who were born during years of Earth are believed to be patient, reliable and hard-working, but also most likely to be stubborn, resistant to new ideas, and self-centered.
* '''Years of Metal''' are considered to be years of prosperity, most likely to bring fortune. People who were born during years of Metal are believed to be ambitious, business-oriented, and well-organized, but also the most likely to remain set in their ways, preferring to be self-reliant and reluctant to accept help.
* '''Years of Water''' are considered to be years of change and fluidity. People who were born during years of Water are believed to be most likely to be the wisest and most intelligent, as well as the most adaptable, but they may also be seen as indecisive, unable to commit to any one decision easily, or even soft and lazy.
* '''Break years''' are considered to be the years of ending. They are seen as the best years to complete a project, to finish learning and training, or to put an end to a particular situation or endeavor. Though some perceive break years as unlucky or associated with death, others see it as lucky years in its own ways, as break years are always followed by advent years. People born during Break years are seen as unpredictable, capable of both the best and the worst, full untapped potential.
** Taking what is considered to be the Mazes' equivalent of a 'sabbatical' year is best done on a Break year.
* '''Prima 1''': Day of the New Year. The second and final part of the Final Day celebrations.
* '''First Earthsday of Duplima''': Divine Prudence Day / Divine Black Day: An Angelic day of observance celebrating prudence, reason and sensible decisions.
* '''Prima 14''': Rememberance day for the people that were killed in Neo Khazrun and Citadel Lambeth, during the Spectrum acts of terror in the year 55.** In certain outlaw circles, it is a day of celebration rather than mourning, as it represents a symbol of victory over the police forces, and it took just a handful of well-organized gangsters to capture the largest city in the world, which they kept control of for about six years and a half.* '''Duplima 4''': Military Memorial Day. A day to honor the fallen in combat instituted by the Maze Military. Every year, each military town holds a mourning ceremony (usually held by the mayor of that town, with the Captain of the home base in attendance), during which the names of every Maze Soldier [[soldier]] native to that town that were was killed in action (or are MIA) since last year.** Military Memorial Day was first instituted in the year 455, following the aftermath of Operation Needle Poke, which saw the deaths of over 500 Maze Soldiers[[soldier|soldiers]].* '''Triema 25''' : Love Day or Fertility Day. A celebration of love, romance, sex and sexual relationships, and fertilityin general. Hospitals usually hand out free condoms on that day. A popular marriage date.

* '''First Firesday of Quartema''': Day of Lust. A Demonic day of observance celebrating lust and its associated Demon Lord, Asmodeus.
* '''Quartema 14''': Remembrance Day for the people that were killed in Neo Khazrun and Citadel Lambeth, during Spectrum's Twin Terror Acts in E7-54.* '''First Earthsday of Pentema''': Divine Courage Day / Divine Blue Day: An Angelic day of observance celebrating courage, fortitude , and strength.
* '''First Firesday of Hexema''': Day of Wrath. A Demonic day of observance celebrating wrath and its associated Demon Lord, Satan.
* '''Hexema 31''': Graduation Day: The final day of the school year for child students. For those in their final year at school (typically ages 17-18), this is usually the day one officially enters into adulthood. This day represents the very last day of school duties and the first day newly graduated adult humans, halflings and youkai can start looking for a job (or pursue further studies).
=== Notes ===
* The four Angelic days of observance (the first Earthsdays of Duplima, Pentema, Octama , and Penultima) fall on the second month of each season, and are therefore known as the ''divine mid-season days'', each one celebrating an Angelic virtue.
* The seven Demonic days of observance (the first Firesdays of Quartema, Hexema, Heptima, Octama, Nonama, Decima and Ultima) were selected because when each relevant month is dotted together on the calendar, they roughly form the shape of an "H"; standing for "Hell".
