What the day is good for
Destruction days clash the month itself; almanacs keep them for demolition and clearing only. 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: demolition and decluttering and deep-cleaning
- Avoid: weddings, business openings, signing contracts, travel and moving in
- Peng Zu taboos: 癸不詞訟理弱敵強；丑不冠帶主不還鄉

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.
