What the day is good for
Stable days favour settling things: agreements, weddings and moving in. Because the day spirit is on the yellow path, the almanac keeps major events on the list.
- Good for: weddings, signing contracts, deals and trading and moving in
- Avoid: legal disputes and travel
- 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.
