The above days were flagged based solely on Almanac considerations. Those who had your Natal Chart read by me might have been given other dates to consider. Feel free to reach out if you are unsure.
When virtuous and vacant days overlap with any of the clashing, punishing, piercing days or troubling days, the virtuous and vacant days are able to weaken their negative effects.
Do note that difficult people or situation does not automatically resolved on virtuous days. It is just that the difficult people is likely to be less difficult as usual; or some resources or person with influence come forward to offer help or insight to the difficult people or situation.
🧭Feng Shui Caution
I am using the traffic light colour logic – direction sector highlighted in green is good sector, direction sector highlighted in yellow is in-between and direction sector highlighted in red is caution sector. Ideally, is not to be in the red sector consecutively over 3 hours daily.

🎇Folk Commemoration Days (🌙lunar calendar)
16 Jul 六月初三 (Thu)
Commemoration Day for Skanda Deva 韋馱天誕

19/20 Jul 六月初六/七 (Sun/Mon)
Opening of the Heaven’s Gates 天門開 and Heaven Clemency Day 天赦日
There are a few folk tales of what this day is about but in general it is believed that it is like a ‘second’ commemoration day for the Jade Emperor and making prayers on this days will be amplified. But why the 2 days you may ask? One saying is that prayers made on the first day could only be done by government officials and the second day is for rest of us. Another saying is that the actual Opening of the Heaven’s Gate is the midnight between the 2 days.

🥳Announcement!!!
I am still actively practicing Qi Men Dun Jia Dream Divination 奇門遁甲夢占. This is a practice whereby you share what you have dreamed, and the time you first woke up from the same dream for me to plot a chart. If the palace that represents dream matches to the dream you have described, that chart can be used to do a forecast for your near future. I am not charging this at this point in time. If this sounds fun to you, feel free to WhatsApp me about your dream to get get this started!
I am starting to practice Manjusri Oracle 文殊占筮法. Similar to the Guanyin Oracle that I am offering, I can only provide the reading after next day’s morning prayers. Although I am not charging at this point, you are to make a donation to any one charity or cause-worthy organisation/project that I select.
Till then!
Best regards,
