Fix or repair something, by the Moon
Of 29 lunar days, the tradition favours 15 for this and discourages 14. 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.

What this is, and is not
Inherited material, quoted as received. Checked against the tradition's own named authorities, these readings contradict each other on all 29 lunar days — so treat the guidance as a custom worth knowing, not a finding. The astronomy underneath it is exact: MoonIQ computes which lunar day you are in, and the minute it turns, for your own location.
