FAQ
What makes a date auspicious in May 2028?
Each day carries one of the Twelve Day Officers (建除十二神) of the Chinese almanac, assigned from the day's earthly branch relative to the solar-term month. Success (成), Open (开), Settle (定) and Harvest (收) days are traditionally favorable; Break (破), Danger (危) and year-clash (岁破) days are excluded from this list.
Are these dates personal?
No — these are general almanac dates that apply to everyone. Traditional date selection also checks the date against your own birth chart (for example, a day that clashes with your birth year). You can compute your chart with the free DayAtlas BaZi calculator.
Why do these dates differ from some other sites?
DayAtlas assigns day officers from exact solar-term (节气) boundaries — the professional standard — rather than calendar months, and removes Break, Danger and year-clash days instead of listing every day.
