An almanac describes traditional day-types. It cannot decide health, money, law, marriage or children. Burial, marriage and medical items on these pages are what a book states, never advice.
In the classical sources
畢為烏
畢 is the crow.
協紀辨方書 卷一
About this entry
畢, the Net, takes the crow in 協紀辨方書 卷一 as a bird akin to the rooster of the 酉 palace. 甲子 lands here at the start of the third 元, one hundred twenty days into the round.
The moon group in 星厯考原 卷五 includes 危, 張 and 心 with it, and a modern link gives that group Monday. 昴 precedes and 觜 follows. The appendix at 協紀辨方書 卷三十五 keeps an older rule that 心, 危, 畢 and 張 days are favorable in spring and autumn for making and consecrating images of deities. Nothing else in the volumes read here rates a day on 畢.
