People born in the year of the MonkeyToday runs opposite to people born in the year of the Monkey; big things can wait for another day. If you are breaking ground or moving heavy things, avoid working toward the North.

Stems and branchesNayin 爐中火

This is how the almanac itself writes the day: two characters each for year, month and day, plus the day officer on duty. The good hours and do’s and don’ts above are all looked up from these.

YearXin Chou
MonthJi Hai
DayBing Yin
平 dayPing, Level, neither pushes nor blocks. Good for mending and tidying.
天牢Heavenly Prison on duty: easy to get tied up. Don't rush to sign something you can't get out of.

FromThe day's officer, spirit, clash and nayin come from tables on the month and day branches. Good hours: Nobleman hours from the day stem, the twelve Yellow and Black Path spirits from the day branch. Solar terms are the observatory's timetable; the lunar date is ICU's Chinese calendar. Times are Taipei time (UTC+8).

Peng Zu's taboosBing Yin

Old Chinese almanacs list two customs for every day: one from the day's stem, one from its branch, the same for everyone. The Qing court almanac files them as habits handed down rather than reasoned rules. Each line in the original goes on to say what happens if you ignore it; only the first four characters are printed here. The line for xu days is about an old eating habit that has no place in life today, so it is left out. Whether to follow them is up to you.

丙不修灶On a bing day the stove was not repaired. Today: leave kitchen and stove repairs for another day.
寅不祭祀On a yin day no offerings were made. Some move temple visits or ancestor rites a day either way.

FromQinding Xieji Bianfang Shu (1739), vol. 35, appendix on the hundred taboo days.

Your own good hours
