A day qualifies when the almanac lists the activity as favorable and not also as one to avoid. Traditionally, people also skip days that clash with their own zodiac sign.

The Chinese almanac is presented as a cultural tradition for reflection and entertainment. It is not a substitute for practical, medical, legal or financial judgment.
