@zwdsflying@yahoo.com ,
Comparing me and JLim, I am just a dust in the air.
Kidding a side, I am not trying to correct you, but the reason is it doesn't sound right.
I think I know what you meant, I know some practitioner use this kind of date selection. 革日 style.
Nice learning from you.

Thank you for understanding the subtle undertones. I cannot take sides due to the nature of my software applications but I always indicate what is included as completeness, which concept is under investigation etc.
I read through 5吉, took a few notes, run a few simulations, cross check real events, think and think again. Well it is a interesting specific sub-variation and I have a similar setup elsewhere, so I flip to the next few pages and move on. It is good for simpler applications but for more complex cases, other methods must be considered.
And yes, do not forget the person's Bazi or natal chart. It does make a difference sometimes.
If you have any interesting date, please let me know, seeing more, knowing more definitely helps.
