How to read this day

This almanac uses the JiaZi 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: Betrothal gifts, Make alliance, Meet friends, Bathe. Avoid: Open market, Enter house, Travel, Marriage. These entries answer what an activity is traditionally suited to, rather than rating the whole day.

Then read the day relations

Clash: Rat day conflicts with Horse; void: XuHai; celestial deity: Heavenly Prison(Inauspicious 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 Heavenly Grace, Time Virtue, People Day, Heavenly Talisman; unfavorable deities include Disaster Sha, Heavenly Fire, Major Sha, Return Taboo. Both can appear on the same date, so their quantity alone does not determine the result.
