What the day is good for
Remove days favour clearing, cleaning and closing old matters rather than big celebrations. 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: deep-cleaning, bathing and resets, clearing old matters and prayers and wishes
- Avoid: weddings, business openings and long journeys
- Peng Zu taboos: 癸不詞訟理弱敵強

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.
