Traditional Chinese almanac (建除十二神) — best days for beginning renovation, construction, or major home improvements.
Home renovation in Chinese tradition carries significant feng shui implications. The almanac identifies days when construction energy (建 Establish) can be channeled constructively versus days when disturbing the earth risks disrupting the household's protective spirits. Scores account for Day Officer energies and traditional prohibitions against breaking ground on certain lunar dates.
There are 8 excellent days and 10 good days — 18 total days rated 65+ out of 31 days in May.
We use the traditional 建除十二神 (Jiànchú Shíèr Shén) — the 12 Day Officers system — combined with lunar calendar analysis. Each day is scored based on its Day Officer, lunar date, and activity-specific profiles from the Chinese almanac.
