What the day is good for
Close days favour storing, sealing and repairing; openings, travel and weddings are avoided. Because the day spirit is on the yellow path, the almanac keeps major events on the list.

- Avoid: travel, weddings and moving in
- Peng Zu taboos: Geng day: do not set up the loom, or it runs idle (庚不經絡織機虛張); Xu day: do not eat dog, or strange things follow (戌不吃犬作怪上床)

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 start from the day officer and are adjusted by the main day spirits of the Xie Ji Bian Fang Shu (協紀辨方書); printed almanacs weigh more spirits and can differ.
