Business opening dates in 2028, from the Chinese almanac
The days in 2028 the almanac lists Opening a business (开市) as good for, and not also as to avoid: 81 of them, 25 at a weekend.
Custom adds one more rule: skip a day that clashes with the year animal of anyone it is for — two branches six apart, directly opposite, clash (Liu Chong, 六冲). Stricter practice also skips a day that clashes with the animal of the day each person was born on. Enter the birth dates and those days drop out.
