What the day is good for
Success days are among the most used for weddings, openings, signings and moving in. Because the day spirit is on the yellow path, the almanac keeps major events on the list.
- Good for: business openings, weddings, moving in, signing contracts, travel, deals and trading, prayers and wishes and collecting money
- Avoid: legal disputes
- Peng Zu taboos: Ren day: do not release water, or it is hard to hold back (壬不泱水更難提防); Shen day: do not set up a bed, or unrest enters the room (申不安床鬼祟入房)

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.
