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.
- Good for: demolition and decluttering and deep-cleaning
- Avoid: weddings, business openings, signing contracts, travel and moving in
- Peng Zu taboos: 丁不剃頭頭必生瘡；巳不遠行財物伏藏

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.
