FAQ
Does picking a date actually work?
Our position: the calendar frame is astronomical, and the annotations are traditional guidance. Dates help you prepare and sequence; they do not guarantee outcomes.
Can I pick dates for my own chart?
Yes, in the app the date panel narrows it down to hours using your own chart.
Is the almanac available in English?
The almanac pages are currently Chinese only; the method and the app are both available in English.
