What the day is good for
Receive days favour collecting income, enrolling and storing; new openings are traditionally put off. 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: collecting money, collecting debts, starting a course and storing and saving
- Avoid: travel, burials and business openings
- Peng Zu taboos: 癸不詞訟理弱敵強；亥不嫁娶不利新郎

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.
