How much weight to give this
This is inherited material, not a finding. When we checked these readings against the tradition's own named authorities, they contradicted each other on all 29 lunar days — the same day called auspicious by one source and ruinous by another. We publish what the corpus says and label it, rather than choosing the most confident version and calling it settled.
What is exact is the astronomy: when day 25 begins and ends where you are, down to the minute.
