What the day is good for
Success days are among the most used for weddings, openings, signings and moving in. Because the day spirit is on the black path, major events such as weddings, openings and moving in are taken off the good-for list.
- Good for: travel and deals and trading
- Avoid: legal disputes

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 follow a simplified table keyed on the day officer; printed almanacs weigh more spirits and can differ.
Cultural tradition for reflection and planning only. Not medical, legal or financial advice; no date or hour can promise an outcome.
