Day Personality
(Section Five—Characters Six and Seven)
Today's "constellation personality" is Mound (婁). Calendrical interpretations stress that it was originally associated with the harvest, and the rites and sacrifices that are associated with it. It has joyful associations of gatherings, and children born of a marriage today will be wonderfully successful. People who build (or even dig trenches) will find their pockets full of gold. Good stuff.
The jianchu "personality" is black-ink Grasp (收). It is not starkly inauspicious, as some of the black ink "personalities" are. It is good for gatherings and, especially, study. It is not a good day for medical visits (stay away from vet, kitties).
Lucky Stars
(Section Two)
There are two beneficent asterisms today, including Increase Empress (益后) and Not General (不將). They're good, even if their names are odd (in English and Chinese).
Auspicious Times
(Section Three)
This is a weird one. There are five inauspicious (凶) two-hour periods, one in-between (中) times, and six auspicious (吉) times.That's not inflationary as much as it is just, plain, strange.
Things to Avoid
(Section Four)
It's a bad day for New Boats (新船) and Entering Water (進水). Think about these, and the fact that all have to do with water. Just don't go near the water.
Just Plain Counting
(Section Four—Characters 1-4)
It is the twelfth (十二) day of the third lunar month. The cycle of sixty character is #26: jichou (己丑). 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 Fire (火). Ordinarily, the Five Phases weave their way, two-by-two, through the calendar. Yesterday was Fire. Today is Fire, and tomorrow is Wood.

Fear Your Unlucky Stars
(Bottom of Section Six)
The baleful asterisms (the bottom of section six) are Repeat Mourning (重喪), Water Scar (水痕), and Five Voids (五虛). They're baleful (by definition).
Miscellaneous Omens and Activities
(Sections Seven and Eight)
Today's miscellaneous omens are White (白) and Spirit (神). The miscellaneous activities are Divination (占), Toilet (厠), and Gate (門). Nobody knows what they mean, but I'm pretty sure that you shouldn't be doing divination in or near the toilet. Just a hunch.
See You Tomorrow
So, have a divine day, people, and lean-auspicious. I'll see you back in this space tomorrow night for a preview of Saturday in Lunar World.
