Day Personality
Constellation Personality (Section Five—Character Six)
Today's "constellation personality" is Pyre (室). It is the thirteenth of twenty-eight "lunar mansions" (宿) or "constellations." Traditional calendars state that it resembled a ceremonial pyre used for sacrificial purposes. Today's portents are positive for construction, and new projects will be fortunate (in Lunar World).
Jianchu Personality (Section Five—Character Seven)
The jianchu "personality"
is Establish (建). It is the first of twelve characters in the jianchu cycle, and it better than its black-ink looks. Traditional calendars note that it is a day that generates the ten-thousand things. It's a good day for tailoring, bill-paying, travel (except by boat), and opening for business.
Lucky Stars
(Section Two)
There are two beneficent asterisms today: Lunar Vacancy (月空) and Heavenly Kindness (天恩). Their red-ink aura shines over your day.
Auspicious Times
(Section Three)
There are three inauspicious (凶) two-hour periods, three in-between (中) times, and six auspicious (吉) times. This "auspiciousness inflation" is so obvious that it's getting ridiculous.
Things to Avoid
(Section Four)
It's a bad day for Opening Irrigation Sluices (開渠) and Litigation (詞訟). It's always a bad day for litigation.
Just Plain Counting
(Section Four—Characters 1-4)
It is the sixth (初六) day of the fourth lunar month. The cycle of sixty character is #19: renwu (壬午). 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 Metal. Today is Wood, and tomorrow is Wood.
Appropriate Things
(Section Six)
It's a solid day for four things today: Venerating Ancestors (祭祀), Making Appointments (立約), Trade and Commerce (交易), and Capital Payments (納財).
