Here are a few of the most popular best days as published in the Farmers' Almanac. Each activity is followed by the best day of the current month.
It's widely believed by many long-time Almanac followers that when the Moon occupies a particular place in the Zodiac each day at 7:00 a.m. EST, it can play an important role in achieving the best possible results for certain activities.
As a service to our Web visitors, we share some of these best days each month. You can find more activities and get 12 months worth in the 2007 Farmers' Almanac sold in many stores throughout the US. Or, you can order a copy from our online store
