Day Personality
(Section Five—Characters Six and Seven)
Today's
"constellation personality" is Ghost (鬼), and that's just plain bad (even in English).
The jianchu "personality" is Establish (建), which isn't really even half-bad
Lucky Stars
(Section Two)
There are two beneficent asterisms today: Generational Virtue (歲德) and Heavenly Kindness (天恩).
Auspicious Times
(Section Three)
There are three inauspicious (凶) two-hour periods, three in-between (中) times, and six auspicious (吉) times. Auspiciousness inflation. I'm tellin' ya. It wasn't this way in 1986 (I think).
Things to Avoid
(Section Four)
It's
a bad day for Setting-up Production (置產) and Mourning Visits (行喪). Think about these.
Just Plain Counting
(Section Four—Characters 1-4)
It is the twenty-first (廿一) day of the second lunar month. The cycle of sixty character is #5: wuchen (). The days cycle—1, 2, 3, 58, 59, 60, 1, 2, 3...—in perpetuity.

Elemental (and Phased)
(Section Five—Character 5)
Today's slice of the "Five Phases" (sometimes called the "Five Elements") is Wood (木). Ordinarily, the Five Phases weave their way, two-by-two, through the calendar. Yesterday was Fire. Today is Wood, and tomorrow is Wood.
Appropriate Things
(Section Six)
It's a solid day for only one (broad) thing: repairing and adorning embankments and walls (修飾垣牆). Get to work, people. Sherwin-Williams (or another company).
Friday's Lunar Calendar
We
are in the fifth of the twenty-four fifteen day solar periods (the 二十四節氣), which
began on Thursday, April 4 and runs April 19. It is called Qingming
(清明). We are in the thirteenth of the five-day
solar micro periods (the 七十二候). It is called Paulownia Blooms (桐始華),
and began on Thursday April 4, and runs through Monday April 9.

Fear Your Unlucky Stars
(Bottom of Section Six)
The baleful asterisms (the bottom of section six) are plentiful and pretty ordinary. Among them are Generational Destruction (歲破) and Soil Palace (土府).
Miscellaneous Omens and Activities
(Sections Seven and Eight)
Today's miscellaneous omens are Person (人) and Ghost (鬼). The miscellaneous activities are Edifice (房), Perch (栖), and Bed (牀). Nobody knows what they mean.
See You Tomorrow
So, the glass is a quarter full, people. Take a few sips, and endure your Friday (in Lunar World). I'll see you back here tomorrow night for a preview of Saturday in Lunar World.
