What the day is good for
Full days favour gathering, trade and collecting; planting and new posts are traditionally put off. Because the day spirit is on the yellow path, the almanac keeps major events on the list.
- Good for: prayers and wishes, business openings, deals and trading and collecting money
- Avoid: breaking ground, planting and starting a new role
- Peng Zu taboos: 甲不開倉財物耗散；申不安床鬼祟入房

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.
