Auspicious Dates & Hours
For important occasions, day-by-day Gan Zhi (干支) to single out the best dates
About auspicious days & hours
Choosing an auspicious date, anciently called 'Juan Ji' (涓吉), is described in the Xie Ji Bian Fang Shu (协纪辨方书) as 'a day set aside to honour Heaven'. Traditional practice takes the day's Gan Zhi (干支) as its starting point: read the clash and harmony between the day pillar and the occasion at hand, avoid days that break the year or the month, and avoid days that clash with the people involved; then choose from that day's allowances a date that supports the undertaking and suits its purpose.
Wenzhendao (问真岛) hands this method to the AI. You state the occasion and the date range; the system lays out the Gan Zhi (干支) and clash relationships for each day, and the AI may only choose from inside that window, explaining why each shortlisted day appears and what to note for that day. Save a Bazi (八字) chart and it can also avoid days that clash with your year branch or day branch.
How to use it
- 1
Choose the occasion: moving house, opening a business, a wedding, signing a contract, travel or something else, and confirm the date range (30 days from today by default, up to 60).
- 2
Use the notes field for practical constraints (avoid weekends, the venue is already booked, and so on); the AI takes them into account. If you have a chart saved, use it.
- 3
Submit to get your shortlist of auspicious dates: each one lists the day's Gan Zhi (干支), its rating, why it was shortlisted and a tip for the day. Billed by actual usage.
Frequently asked questions
The system first lays out each day's Gan Zhi (干支) and clash relationships inside the window. The AI may only pick from that fact table and must give reasons — it never invents dates. Days that clash with your year branch or day branch are left out as a rule.
The general version reads the day's Gan Zhi (干支) and the allowances for the occasion, and already avoids major hazards such as year-breaking and month-breaking days. Adding your chart then keeps clear of days that clash with you personally, which is a closer fit — the two do not conflict.

Wedding dates
How to choose a good wedding date
Choosing a good wedding date means reading the almanac's allowances, avoiding clashes and sha (冲煞), and then fitting both birth charts and real-world schedules into the result. Date selection is not a matter of finding a line that says 'suitable for marriage' — it is about making the ceremony and the day run smoothly.
Moving dates
Auspicious moving dates and how to select one
When picking a moving day, three things matter: whether the day allows entering the new home, whether it clashes with the family, and whether one of its hours suits the start of the move. The date is meant to make settling in easier, not to have the whole household rush to catch an auspicious hour.
Business openings
How to choose an auspicious opening date
When choosing an opening date, it is best to weigh the almanac together with the owner's details, the nature of the trade, the direction the shop faces and the real foot traffic. A good opening day lets the ceremony, the promotion and the actual trading support one another.
