Business opening Dates 2026 吉日

The traditional almanac 通勝 approach to choosing when to open a business: find a day the almanac marks as favourable 宜, then check that neither person's clash zodiac falls on that day. These are tendencies, not guarantees — tradition treats timing as one factor among many.

The right date also depends on the couple's charts 命 — zodiac, Day Master, and Four Pillars. A day the almanac marks as generally good may still conflict with one partner's clash day.

Questions 常問

How does the almanac pick business opening dates?

The Tung Shing 通勝 lists days where the favoured activities 宜 include 开市、开业. The day officer, heavenly stems, and earthly branches all contribute to the verdict.

Do these dates work for everyone?

These are general almanac days — a good starting point. Whether a specific date suits you personally also depends on your birth chart and zodiac. The tradition recommends checking that neither person's clash zodiac falls on the chosen day.
