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 大溪水

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.

YearBing Wu
MonthJia Wu
DayJia Yin
成 dayCheng, Complete, is the day things get done — the one the almanac most often picks for big occasions.
白虎White Tiger on duty: collisions come easily; take a little more care going out and working with your hands.

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 taboosJia 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.

甲不開倉On a jia day the granary was not opened to lend grain. Read today as: dipping into savings or lending a large sum can wait 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.
