How to read this day

This almanac uses the JiChou day stem-branch as its calendar coordinate. Start with activity-specific guidance, then use the clash, void, and deities as context. No single entry is an overall score for the day.

Start with the activity

Suitable: Sacrifice, Hunt, Hunt, Livestock. Avoid: Marriage, Betrothal gifts, Make alliance, Open market. These entries answer what an activity is traditionally suited to, rather than rating the whole day.

Then read the day relations

Clash: Ox day conflicts with Goat; void: WuWei; celestial deity: Bright Hall(Auspicious day). These are general calendar annotations and do not replace real-world constraints or personal information.

Read favorable and unfavorable deities together

Favorable deities include Mother Storage, Bright Hall; unfavorable deities include Small Consumption, Return Taboo. Both can appear on the same date, so their quantity alone does not determine the result.
