FAQ
Common questions about this OpenFate tool.
What does the Huangli lookup calculate?
It displays dated calendar fields such as solar terms, activity labels, hours, clashes, Tai positions, and annual directions under the basis selected on the page.
Why can Huangli results differ between tools?
Tools can use different date boundaries, timezones, local-versus-traditional bases, source tables, or interpretive rules. Compare the stated basis before comparing labels.
Does an auspicious date guarantee a good result?
No. Auspicious and inauspicious labels are traditional interpretations, not scientifically validated probabilities. Check weather, safety, schedules, health, finances, consent, and professional requirements.

How this result is built
Lunar dates stay on the Chinese calendar; annual Huangli and Feng Shui fields use the Li Chun convention. Recommendations require direct task evidence, keep conflicts visible, and never use AI to calculate the result.

Pengzu Notes
Avoid planting or growth-oriented starts; the image is weak rooting and poor follow-through. Avoid marriage rites or wedding formalization; the classical warning centers on the groom side.
