Five life guides: picking dates for moving, weddings and openings, and baby names

After the saju basics, we've opened life guides for the things you actually have to decide. What auspicious moving days are (the days when son, the wandering spirit, is away) and how to avoid the direction son is in; how to pick a wedding day from the couple's zodiac animals and whether that day's energy combines or clashes with them; and how to match an opening day to the element of your line of business.

The baby name guide explains the five elements carried by a name's sound and those carried by its Chinese characters, and the lucky color guide lays out the color, direction and number for each element. Every guide ends with links straight to the moving-day calendar, zodiac compatibility and the perpetual calendar.

Auspicious moving days are the same for everyone, but the months and directions that suit you differ from person to person. To check by your own birthday, ask Grandpa Choi of Miari about moving, and the houses known for compatibility about weddings and matches.
