Choose the almanac date in China Standard Time. The hour intervals above show their local dates and clocks in the selected zone. Search activity dates →

Yi and Ji

Yi 宜 names activities traditionally suitable for the date; Ji 忌 names unsuitable activities. The selected activity is shown as suitable, unsuitable or unlisted. An unlisted activity is not treated as suitable.

Day officer and clash

The twelve day officers run through Establish, Remove, Full, Level, Settle, Hold, Break, Danger, Success, Receive, Open and Close. The clash animal is the branch opposite the day’s branch.

Hours

Each row gives a clock interval, stem-branch pair and auspicious or inauspicious traditional quality. Read the activity recommendation separately: an auspicious hour can still list an activity as unsuitable.
