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.

Almanac Details: Day Officer, Lunar Mansion and Spirits
What a traditional Tung Shing reads for date selection. The Twelve Day Officers set the tone of the day, the ruling Lunar Mansion adds its own luck, the day's spirits each favour or forbid certain acts, the Fetal God position marks where a household with a pregnancy should not build or move things, and Peng Zu's Taboos are old sayings tied to the day's stem and branch.

Today and the 12 Zodiac Signs
Each sign's branch is read against today's day branch: combination helps, clash, punishment, harm and break hinder, and no relation makes a steady day.

- Tiger
- : Combines with today. People cooperate, so close deals and settle unfinished business.
- Rabbit
- : Half-combines with today. The support is mild, so push along what is already moving.
- Snake
- : Clashes with today, the strongest disruption. Travel and move, but avoid signing or confronting.
- Monkey
- : Harm with today. Losses come quietly rather than openly, so watch favours and hidden costs.
- Pig
- : Your sign rules the day, so its energy moves with yours. You carry weight today, but you are also the most visible.
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 | Direct Seal | Support and mentors are available. Good for asking advice, learning, and signing things that protect you. |
| YiWood | Indirect Seal | The mind runs deep and slightly sideways. Good for solitary study and unconventional subjects; do not overthink. |
| BingFire | Direct Officer | Rules and reputation matter today. Good for formal settings, paperwork and anything touching promotion. |
| DingFire | Seven Killings | Pressure comes head-on today. Hold your ground rather than pushing, and watch your health and the unexpected. |
| WuEarth | Direct Wealth | Steady, earned money is the theme. Good for invoicing, quoting, salary talks and tidying your finances. |
| JiEarth | Indirect Wealth | Networking and new openings favour you today, with side income in reach. Test small rather than betting big. |
| GengMetal | Hurting Officer | Talent shows, but so does a sharp tongue. Display your work; do not take on your boss or the rule-makers. |
| XinMetal | Eating God | Expression flows and the mood is easy. Good for creating, presenting, and time spent with people you enjoy. |
| RenWater | Rob Wealth | Money leaks out today and others may claim a share. Avoid lending, guarantees and impulse spending. |
| GuiWaterDay 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. |
Pillar Interactions
The stems and branches of the Year, Month and Day pillars interact through combination, clash, punishment, harm and destruction. Together these decide whether the day's energy gathers or scatters.
- Six ClashZi + WuYear Pillar, Month Pillar
Two directly opposite branches collide, bringing movement and upheaval. Better for travel and relocation than for signing or finalising.
