How to use Fujōju-bi
Because nothing is said to come to fruition, new beginnings such as weddings, opening a business, contracts and moving house are avoided. When it falls on a Tenshabi or Ichiryū-manbai-bi, schools differ on how to treat it.
The meaning of these days is explained in Lucky days and festivals of the eto, and the calculation in How the calendar is calculated. Almanac notes can differ between traditions.
