“Renovations” is one of the eight activities MyTongShu publishes for every day, with a 宜, 忌 or neutral entry for each day in the full calendar. Contractor availability, permits and safety requirements come first; the almanac helps you choose a start day.
How do I choose a good day to start a renovation?
To choose a good day to start a renovation, start with your practical limits: contractor availability, permits and safety requirements. Check each candidate day's 宜 or 忌 entry for renovations and its day verdict. Only today's almanac is free; other days are in the full calendar on the General plan. Reading days against your BaZi chart needs the Personal annual plan.
How to choose
Confirm your practical limits first: contractor availability, permits and safety requirements.
Open the full calendar and list the days that fall inside those limits.
For each candidate, check its 宜 or 忌 entry for renovations, or whether it is neutral. Only today's almanac is free; other days are in the full calendar on the General plan.
Read the day's overall verdict (吉, 平 or 凶) and its Day Officer as context, not as an instruction.
Use the free preview to see how today reads for you; the Personal annual plan reads each day of your year against your own chart. Then confirm the final day with your practical checks.

Choosing a day to start a renovation
How does the Tong Shu treat "Renovations"?
"Renovations" is one of the eight activities MyTongShu publishes for every day, so you can see each day’s 宜, 忌 or neutral entry before you decide when to start a renovation.
Can I start a renovation on an inauspicious day?
You can, but a 凶 day verdict is a reason to check your plan more carefully, not a reason to skip your practical checks. Look at the day's 忌 entry for renovations, and ask whether another day inside your limits works better. The final decision is yours.
What if the activity is neutral for a day?
Neutral activity: the almanac neither recommends nor warns against it today. MyTongShu shows a neutral activity as "Neutral" and never treats it as a 宜 entry, so it is never a green light. You can weigh it alongside the day's overall verdict and your own circumstances.
Does a good day guarantee a good outcome?
No. The almanac is a traditional planning reference, not a prediction, and it cannot guarantee any outcome. Practical, legal, safety and professional advice always come first.
How far ahead should I plan?
Start with your real deadlines, such as contractor availability, permits and safety requirements. Only today's almanac is free; other days are in the full calendar on the General plan, which covers 12 months from the day you join, so you can compare candidate days well ahead of time.
Is the same day good for everyone?
The almanac is the same for everyone. The Personal annual plan reads each day of your year against your own BaZi birth chart, so the same date can read differently for you.
