Networking with Partners
Business success depends a great deal on relationships. This query is about creating or strengthening ties with the people you work with or would like to work with. It is not yet negotiating terms or closing a deal, but acquaintance, trust and mutual liking, without which the next steps will not happen.
In Chinese tradition this calls for a day of harmony, when people find common ground more easily and are inclined to help each other. On an unfavourable day a first meeting may not click, and an old contact may sour over a misunderstanding.

What the query covers:
- meeting potential partners, clients or investors;
- networking at conferences, trade fairs and business breakfasts;
- a business dinner or an informal meeting with a partner;
- reconnecting with a former client or partner;
- congratulating partners, sending gifts or thank-you letters;
- getting to know a new manager or team.
When to use a different query:
- discussing the terms of cooperation: "negotiations" or "business discussion";
- signing a contract: "signing of contracts and agreements";
- the deal itself: "making a deal";
- organising a conference or meeting: "general meeting, conference";
- personal relationships: "revision of relations".
How the Calendar rates the day. For networking the favourable Day Officers are Balance and Establish. Remove is unfavourable: on such a day a contact is easily "removed". Among the lunar mansions, Dipper, Root, Bow, Net and Wall are good, while Void is unfavourable. The harmony stars play the main role. The day is supported by the Noble Man, the Day of Three Harmony, Personal Harmony, the Heavenly and Monthly Stars of Virtue, the Three Mystics and the Flower of Romance (personal charm). It is weakened by the Separating Day, Destruction in the Day, the Lonely Day, the Clash of Personality, the Clash of Heavenly Stems, the Ungrateful Penalty Day and the Personal Destroyer.

Tip. If you know a future partner's date of birth, check the day against their Bazi chart too: the best day for a first meeting is one with Personal Harmony for both of you and no Clash of Personality.
