How these dates are chosen
The almanac term is 開市 ("opening the market"). It appears on yellow-path Full (滿), Success (成) and Open (開) days. Days whose branch clashes the year branch (歲破, "year-breaker" days) are removed: 5 days in 2027. Month-breaker days (破) never carry 開市 in our table. Everything is computed for Hong Kong time (UTC+8); dates are the same across East and Southeast Asia, and the daily pages show the hours.

Questions about business openings dates
How many good business openings days are there in 2027?
43 in calendar 2027 by our almanac table, after removing 5 year-breaker (歲破) days. 12 fall on a Saturday or Sunday.
What is the best weekend date for opening a shop, office or business in 2027?
Weekend dates on the list include Sun, January 24, 2027, Sat, February 6, 2027, Sun, February 14, 2027, Sat, April 17, 2027, Sun, May 16, 2027 and Sun, July 4, 2027. Check that the date does not clash your zodiac sign or your partner's.
What does "clashes" mean on an almanac date?
Each day's branch clashes one zodiac sign. If the day clashes your sign (or, for weddings, either partner's), tradition suggests choosing another date from the list.
Are these dates the same as a printed Tong Shu?
Not always. Our good-for lists come from the twelve day officers and the yellow/black path spirits; printed almanacs weigh many more spirits. Use the list as a short-list and check your own chart.
