Cultural Context: The Separated Day (隔开日)

This transitional date in the 60-day celestial cycle traditionally marks a pause between energetic phases. Farmers historically used it to:
- Inspect tools without using them
- Resolve pending negotiations
- Clear emotional blockages

Special Suggestions:

Given today's Separated Day status with opposing Fire-Wood elemental tensions:
1. Light candle meditation could harmonize energies
2. Consider reviewing (but not signing) contracts
3. Symbolically cut ties with old documents
4. Avoid initiating fiery debates
