Day Personality
Constellation Personality (Section Five—Character Six)
Today's "constellation personality" is Edifice (房). It is the fourth of twenty-eight "lunar mansions" (宿) or "constellations." Traditional calendars state that it is positive, and a good day for a wide range of events, including weddings, conferences, and construction projects.
Jianchu Personality (Section Five—Character Seven)
The jianchu "personality"
is Destroy (破). It is the seventh of twelve characters in the jianchu cycle, and it is the worst-of-the-worst in this cycle. Anything (in Lunar World) that can grow wrong...will. Hunker down (for half of your day).
Lucky Stars
(Section Two)
There are two beneficent asterisms today: Lunar Kindness (月恩) and Heavenly Fortune (天福). Even on a narrow little day-column, they shine brightly of fortune (in Lunar World).
Auspicious Times
(Section Three)
There are four inauspicious (凶) two-hour periods, two in-between (中) times, and six auspicious (吉) times. Back to abnormal; the inflationary spiral continues.
Things to Avoid
(Section Four)
It's a bad day for Mixing Sauces (合醬) and Making Liquor (造酒). So avoid 'em. It doesn't mean you can't eat and drink 'em (as far as I can tell).
Just Plain Counting
(Section Four—Characters 1-4)
It is the twenty-fifth (廿五) day of the fourth lunar month. The cycle of sixty character is #38: xinchou (辛丑). The days cycle—1, 2, 3, 58, 59, 60, 1, 2, 3...—in perpetuity.

(Section Four—Characters 1-4)
It is the twenty-fifth (廿五) day of the fourth lunar month. The cycle of sixty character is #38: xinchou (辛丑). 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 Earth (土). Ordinarily, the Five Phases weave their way, two-by-two, through the calendar. Yesterday was Earth. Today is Earth, and tomorrow is Metal.
Appropriate Things
(Section Six)
It's a solid day for four things today: Seeking Medical Attention (), Medical Treatments (), Destroying Rooms (), and Smashing Embankments (). Wreck stuff (your own), and then seek medical treatment. Or vice-versa.
