How to use this monthly calendar
Start with the activity you plan, then compare the dates marked auspicious for that activity. The “Avoid” column records separate Tong Shu cautions, so a day can suit one purpose while remaining unsuitable for another. The day pillar and clash column help you distinguish dates that otherwise look similar.
Open a date to see the complete almanac record, including the full activity lists, hour deities, named deity directions and Five-Element seasonal strength. Treat this page as a screening tool. Important personal decisions may also require birth data, location, practical constraints and a qualified adviser.
