How to use this calendar
If your zodiac animal appears in the Clash column, that day is traditionally a quieter one for you. Avoid facing the Sha direction when you start important work. Days marked 成 Success, 開 Open and 定 Stable are the classic choices for launches and agreements, while 破 Destruction and 危 Danger days are best kept low-key.
