The combination of fine gemstone and gentle Goat makes this day especially suitable for weddings, artistic ventures, business openings, contract signings, and harmonious relationships.

The Day Harvest 收 (Harvest) and the Day Closure 閉 (Closing) make this day especially favorable for reaping the fruits of past work and building refined structures. The best time is the Goat hour (13:00–15:00).

For Ox year natives: The Goat and Ox are in “Chong” (衝) — postpone important decisions.
