According to Chinese Metaphysics, there are certain days when it is not advised to practice Feng Shui or do readings. In this belief system, specific days are considered unlucky for engaging in these activities due to the influence of cosmic energies. These days are often associated with unfavorable energy patterns that may disrupt the flow of Qi, which is important for Feng Shui adjustments and accurate readings. By avoiding these days, we can be sure avoid negative energy and get effective results.
