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.

Pengzu Notes
Avoid arguments, disputes, or litigation posture; the classical note favors the opposing side. Avoid long departures; valuables and practical gains are treated as harder to secure.

The classical Zi mansion reading is treated as inauspicious on this date, so household moves and major openings are read more cautiously than the top-line daily verdict alone suggests.
