Day Personality
Constellation Personality (Section Five—Character Six)
Today's "constellation personality" is Tower (婁). It is the sixteenth of twenty-eight "lunar mansions" (宿) or "constellations." Traditional calendars state that it portends hours and hours of family happiness. It's a good day for marriage, and children born of marriages on this day will fill their pockets with precious stones. On top of it all, the divinity associated with this constellation possesses the recipe for longevity.
Jianchu Personality (Section Five—Character Seven)
The jianchu "personality"
is Destroy (破). It is the seventh of twelve characters in the jianchu cycle. It is the worst-of-the-worst, and there is nothing good about it. Everything that can go wrong...will (in Lunar World).
Lucky Stars
(Section Two)
There are two beneficent asterisms today: Generational Exemplarity (歲德) and Linked Days (合日). The shine over Lunar World with red ink wonder.
Auspicious Times
(Section Three)
There are three inauspicious (凶) two-hour periods, three in-between (中) times, and, yup, six auspicious (吉) times.
Things to Avoid
(Section Four)
It's a bad day for Litigation (詞頌) and Capping Ceremonies (冠帶).
Just Plain Counting
(Section Four—Characters 1-4)
It is the eighth (初八) day of the sixth lunar month. The cycle of sixty character is #50: guichou (癸丑). 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 Wood (木). Ordinarily, the Five Phases weave their way, two-by-two, through the calendar. Yesterday was Wood. Today is Wood, and tomorrow is Water.
Appropriate Things
(Section Six)
It's a solid day for only two things today: Destroying Rooms (破屋) and Smashing Embankments (壞垣). Please make sure that which you smash is your own.
