How to pick the right day for End Mourning
Start by looking at the "Good For" (Yi) list on each day's almanac entry and find dates that specifically include End Mourning. Beyond that, check for the presence of powerful auspicious spirits like Tian De (Heavenly Virtue) or Yue De (Monthly Virtue), which boost the overall quality of the day. Avoid dates that carry heavy inauspicious influences, especially ones that directly conflict with the activity you're planning. Our auspicious day finder can help you quickly narrow down the best upcoming dates.
Things to keep in mind for End Mourning
Even on a favorable day, traditional practice suggests paying attention to a few additional details. Check whether the day's Earthly Branch clashes with your own birth year branch -- a personal clash can weaken an otherwise good date. Also consider the time of day: each two-hour period (shichen) has its own auspicious and inauspicious qualities, so timing matters too. Finally, remember that the almanac is a traditional cultural tool, not a guarantee. Use it as one factor in your planning, alongside practical considerations.
