Questions 常問
How does the almanac pick groundbreaking dates?
The Tung Shing 通勝 lists days where the favoured activities 宜 include 动土. 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.
