A clash day for people whose day or year branch is 午 Horse. It is a watch-out, not a verdict: it means take more care with what the day already disfavours. The god directions are the almanac's traditional bearings for the day.

Clock time, the default. Which of these hours suits you, and which clash your chart, is worked out from your own pillars in the app.
What 戊子 means for you depends on your own four pillars.
The app rates the day against your chart, gives you your own 宜 and 忌, and names the hours that suit you. No sign-up for the chart.
