The idea behind the 12 Day Officers Method of Date Selection lies in the use of Qi that best matches the activity.
• Establish 建 (Jiàn)
• Remove 除 (Chú)
• Full 滿 (Mǎn)
• Balance 平 (Pīng)
• Stable 定 (Dìng)
• Initiate 執 (Zhǐ)
• Destruction 破 (Pò)
• Danger 危 (Wēi)
• Success 成 (Chéng)
• Receive 收 (Shōu)
• Open 開 (Kāi)
• Close 閉 (Bì)
In ancient china, Establish Day (建日) was the date the Emperor would pray to Heaven and Deities for a good harvest. In modern context, an Establish Day is suitable for getting engaged or marriage proposal, starting a new job or assuming a new role/ position at work, business transactions or dealings, or negotiations.
The Qi for this day also mean Starting-Off or Beginning. It is suitable for seeking medical treatment, commencing a major trip or travel plans, or to commence a new course or start school. It is also a good day for starting construction works (but not to be use for demolition / groundbreaking). Traditonally, Commencement / Establish Day is also generally not a good day to attend funerals or for burial. Especially, inauspicious if one’s year pillar or day pillar is in disharmony or clashed.
