Day Personality
(Section Five—Characters Six and Seven)
Today's "constellation personality" is Mix (參). Calendrical interpretations stress that it is almost the same constellation as Westerners call "Orion." It is often "read" as "variable," meaning that it will be good if you do good things (and bad if you do bad things). Building today is fortunate; marriage is not. Yup, it's sort of mixed. Above all, the day is said (in Lunar World) to reward industriousness.
The jianchu "personality" is Grasp (執). Great stuff. Traditional calendars stress the Emperor of Heaven's conferral of blessings. Again, it's all about industriousness today. Just get on with hit. The holiday's over.
Lucky Stars
(Section Two)
There are two beneficent asterisms today: Golden Cupboard (金匱) and Releasing Spirits (解神). Good stuff.
Auspicious Times
(Section Three)
There are three inauspicious (凶) two-hour periods, four in-between (中) times, and five auspicious (吉) times.
Things to Avoid
(Section Four)
It's
a bad day for Opening Irrigation Sluices (開渠)
and Discarding Clothing (除服). Think about these, and keep your shirt on.
Just Plain Counting
(Section Four—Characters 1-4)
It is the sixteenth (十六) day of the fourth lunar month. The cycle of sixty character is #59: renxu (壬戌). 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 Water (水). Ordinarily, the Five Phases weave their way, two-by-two, through the calendar. Yesterday was Wood. Today is Water, and tomorrow is Water.
Appropriate Things
(Section Six)
It's a solid day for eight different things, including Meeting Friends (會友), Haircuts (理髮), and Going to the Doctor (醫病). Make sure that you click the link for the rest.
