Day Personality
(Section Five—Characters Six and Seven)
Today's "constellation personality" is Edifice (房). Calendrical interpretations stress that it is a very lucky day for building projects, presaging luxury, happiness, and longevity.
The jianchu "personality" is Establish (建). Although it is printed in black ink, it is more than solid. Calendrical interpretations show it to be a wonderful day for starting big projects.
Lucky Stars
(Section Two)
There are two beneficent asterisms today: Generational Emolument (歲祿) and Kingly Days (王日). They are red-ink positive.
Auspicious Times
(Section Three)
There are three inauspicious (凶) two-hour periods, four in-between (中) times, and fully five auspicious (吉) times. Moreover, the good times start really to roll from 5:00-11:00 p.m. Good stuff.
Things to Avoid
(Section Four)
It's a bad day for Planting and Cultivating (栽種) and Distant Journeys (遠行). Think about these. And think about what "distant" really means in your life.
Just Plain Counting
(Section Four—Characters 1-4)
It is the twenty-eighth (廿八) day of the third lunar month. The cycle of sixty character is #42: yisi (乙巳). 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 Water.
Appropriate Things
(Section Six)
It's
a solid day for eight different things, including Meeting Friends (會友) and Moving Households (移徙). Click the link for the rest (and maybe those friends you meet can help you with the move).
