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

Stems and branchesNayin 平地木

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.

YearYi Si
MonthDing Hai
DayJi Hai
建 dayJian, Establish, opens the twelve-day round: things are just standing up, a day to set a direction and take the first step.
天德Heavenly Virtue on duty: asking for help, making peace and doing good all go easily.

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 taboosJi Hai

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.

己不破券On a ji day no deed was torn up. Read today as: ending or cancelling a contract can wait for another day.
亥不嫁娶On a hai day no wedding was held. It often comes up when choosing a wedding date.

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