Zodiac clash notes
Owners often avoid dates that clash with their zodiac, especially if they cut the ribbon, receive the first customer, or lead prayers.
Timing
Lunar-calendar context
Many businesses like post-Lunar-New-Year openings or dates near wealth-god observances, but quiet preparation before launch is usually more important than public symbolism.
