How to use these dates
Start from the table, drop any day that clashes with your zodiac animal, then check the practical things: venue, travel, the family calendar. Many families also ask an elder or a 择日 master to check against each person’s bazi (八字). You can check a single day in our auspicious-date finder or read the full 宜/忌 for any day in the calendar.
