Choose the day with your eyes open.

Two engagements

Moving

For one event and one location — typically the formal entry into a new home — involving up to two adults. You propose a candidate window of up to 90 days; the report returns the strongest dates inside it, in priority order. Usually five working days from an agreed start.

Wedding

For one couple and one event location, with a candidate window of up to twelve months. Because weddings carry more moving parts — registration, ceremony, reception — the first task is deciding which single event the selection is for. Usually seven working days from an agreed start.

Real constraints come first

There is no universally lucky date. A day is only strong or poor for something — for this event, these participants, this location, inside this window. So before any comparison begins, the definition is frozen: the exact event being timed, the people it involves, the place it happens, the date window you can work with, and the fixed constraints — venue availability, travel, family schedules, notice periods. Only then are candidate dates compared against one another and returned in priority order. The report works inside what is actually possible, and no date is presented as a guarantee of a good outcome — a well-chosen day supports a plan; it does not replace one.

What your report shows

• Candidate dates — the workable days inside your window, in priority order.
• Local times and time zone — the hours that matter, stated in the event's local time, with the time zone named.
• Method and sources — the selection method and the calendar and almanac sources are named in your written proposal before booking; the report states the local-time and calendar conventions it used.
• Conditions — what each recommendation depends on, and what would change it.
• The reasoning — enough of the basis that you can discuss the choice with family with confidence.

Define the event first

"The move" might mean receiving keys, moving belongings, or the first night slept in the new home; "the wedding" might mean registration, ceremony or reception. Traditional selection treats these as different events. The report selects for one — the one you define as primary — and the journal articles below explain why that definition matters.
