What choosing a day means
Choosing the date (擇日, zé ) is one of the oldest uses of the Chinese almanac. The almanac gives every day an officer and a guardian, the same for everyone. Your chart adds the personal side: a day that clashes with it is set aside, and one that favors it counts in its favor.
How Pilares chooses
- The day officer has to be one tradition favors for what you'll do. Destruction, Danger and Close never are.
- Any day that clashes with someone's day or year branch, or completes a triple punishment with their chart, is left out.
- In its favor count a bright day, someone's Nobleman, a bond with their Day Master or day branch, the star that belongs to what you'll do, and elements that suit every chart.
- A “Very good day” brings together a favorable officer, a bright day and a personal sign; a “Good day”, the officer plus one of the other two.

Before you decide
Take it as a hint for planning calmly, not as an order. If the date can't move, that's fine.
Planned medical procedure: Always decide it with your doctor.
