What the day is good for
Establish days favour starting out and showing up; heavy earth-moving is traditionally avoided. Because the day spirit is on the yellow path, the almanac keeps major events on the list.
- Good for: travel, starting a new role, meeting friends and prayers and wishes
- Avoid: breaking ground, opening storage and burials
- Peng Zu taboos: 庚不經絡織機虛張；午不苫蓋屋主更張

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.
