- Avoid: legal disputes
- Peng Zu taboos: Jia day: do not open the granary, or wealth drains away (甲不開倉財物耗散); Xu day: do not eat dog, or strange things follow (戌不吃犬作怪上床)

Make it personal
The almanac is the same for everyone. Your own lucky color and best two hours depend on your chart: get them free in Daily Joss, or start with your Joss Profile. Planning something specific? Compare time windows with Joss Timing.
How these are computed: methods and what the Tong Shu is. Good-for and avoid lists start from the day officer and are adjusted by the main day spirits of the Xie Ji Bian Fang Shu (協紀辨方書); printed almanacs weigh more spirits and can differ.
