Intimacy with a partner, by the Moon
Of 29 lunar days, the tradition favours 15 for this and discourages 10. The lunar day turns at moonrise, so a calendar date usually spans two of them — which is why a date can be good for part of the day and not the rest.
This is about mood and closeness, not fertility. It is not contraception and says nothing about whether conception can happen - any day can result in pregnancy. For contraception, talk to a clinician.
