Picking a good day to perform an important activity such as a marriage, engagement, job application, business transaction, launch of a new product, signing of a document, travel or moving into a new house not only helps to create potential for success, but it also ensures that the event progresses more smoothly.
The selection of an auspicious date is primarily based on the use of the Chinese Hsia Calendar and the annual Almanac or Tung Shu, which helps us to identify the best days according to the 12 Ruling Officers.
These 12 Ruling Officers (建除十二神) refer to the 12 types of ch’i or energies that prevail in a given day and which are common to everybody for that particular day. However once the dynamics of your Chinese Astrology or Bazi Chart is known, then this information can be used to fine tune the selection of auspicious dates according to your most favorable elements.
