Particular day pillars in each season, traditionally seen as a day of leniency and relief, when trouble has a way out.
By season, look up the day pillar: spring Wu-Yin, summer Jia-Wu, autumn Wu-Shen, winter Jia-Zi.

In practice it is read as a good day to speak up and to close things: asking for help and starting a conversation are traditionally thought to go more smoothly.
Used: it appears as a day marker in the almanac pages (visible on the Chinese calendar pages).
Rule of thumb: these markers are read from fixed classical tables, and the scores and advice come from a separate model. Both are laid out on the site, and neither is a claim about what will happen.
What is it best used for?
Traditionally explaining, making things clear and closing matters out. We mark it on the almanac pages as it stands, with no promise of effect.
How often does it come round?
One day per season: usually four days a year.
