12 Hour Pillars
The day splits into twelve two-hour periods, each ruled by one of the twelve Yellow Road or Black Road spirits. The Zi hour straddles midnight, so it appears twice: early Zi opens the day and late Zi closes it, each with its own pillar. Each hour also lists the almanac's own "Good for" and "Avoid". That is a separate method from the ruling spirit, so the two can disagree; an hour both call good is the safest pick.

Ten Gods: Today for Each Day Master
The day's Heavenly Stem plays a different Ten God for every Day Master. Find yours to see whether today arrives as wealth, authority, resource or peer energy.
| Day Master | Today's Ten God | Today's focus |
|---|---|---|
| JiaWood | Indirect Seal | The mind runs deep and slightly sideways. Good for solitary study and unconventional subjects; do not overthink. |
| YiWood | Direct Seal | Support and mentors are available. Good for asking advice, learning, and signing things that protect you. |
| BingFire | Seven Killings | Pressure comes head-on today. Hold your ground rather than pushing, and watch your health and the unexpected. |
| DingFire | Direct Officer | Rules and reputation matter today. Good for formal settings, paperwork and anything touching promotion. |
| WuEarth | Indirect Wealth | Networking and new openings favour you today, with side income in reach. Test small rather than betting big. |
| JiEarth | Direct Wealth | Steady, earned money is the theme. Good for invoicing, quoting, salary talks and tidying your finances. |
| GengMetal | Eating God | Expression flows and the mood is easy. Good for creating, presenting, and time spent with people you enjoy. |
| XinMetal | Hurting Officer | Talent shows, but so does a sharp tongue. Display your work; do not take on your boss or the rule-makers. |
| RenWaterDay stem | Friend | Peers stand beside you today, so joint effort carries weight. Rivalry over the same prize is the risk: settle the split up front. |
| GuiWater | Rob Wealth | Money leaks out today and others may claim a share. Avoid lending, guarantees and impulse spending. |
