What the day is good for
Remove days favour clearing, cleaning and closing old matters rather than big celebrations. Because the day spirit is on the yellow path, the almanac keeps major events on the list.
- Good for: deep-cleaning, bathing and resets, clearing old matters and prayers and wishes
- Avoid: weddings, business openings and long journeys
- Peng Zu taboos: Xin day: do not make sauce, or the host will not taste it (辛不合醬主人不嘗); Si day: do not travel far, or wealth stays hidden (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.
