What the day is good for
Open days favour openings, new roles, study and travel; burials and ground-breaking are avoided. 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. The day branch also clashes the year branch (未), a "year-breaker" day that many almanac users skip for big events.
- Good for: starting a course, travel and prayers and wishes
- Avoid: burials and breaking ground
- Peng Zu taboos: 己不破券二比並亡；丑不冠帶主不還鄉

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.
