The hours, on the clock in Kuala Lumpur
Almanacs give the hours by the sun: the Horse hour is 11 to 1, when the sun is highest. In Kuala Lumpur today the sun runs 72 minutes behind the clock, so on your clock the Horse hour is 12:12–14:12. The table is already converted. Why
| Hour | Clock time | Luck | Clashes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rat (子) | 00:12–02:12 | Lucky | Horse (马) |
| Ox (丑) | 02:12–04:12 | Lucky | Goat (羊) |
| Tiger (寅) | 04:12–06:12 | Unlucky | Monkey (猴) |
| Rabbit (卯) | 06:12–08:12 | Unlucky | Rooster (鸡) |
| Dragon (辰) | 08:12–10:12 | Lucky | Dog (狗) |
| Snake (巳) | 10:12–12:12 | Lucky | Pig (猪) |
| Horse (午) | 12:12–14:12 | Unlucky | Rat (鼠) |
| Goat (未) | 14:12–16:12 | Lucky | Ox (牛) |

| Pig (亥) | 22:12–00:12 | Unlucky | Snake (蛇) |
Lucky or unlucky by the spirit ruling the hour: six walk the yellow path and are lucky (Green Dragon, Bright Hall, Golden Casket, Heavenly Virtue, Jade Hall, Keeper of Fate); the other six walk the black path.
This day for each day master
BaZi reads a day by what its stem is to your day master, and a month by the month’s stem. This day’s stem is Yang Metal (Geng, 庚); this month, the Fire Horse month (Bing Wu, 丙午), has Yang Fire (Bing, 丙). Each links to what the classics say about it. Don’t know your day master? Read each day against your whole chart
The Peng Zu taboos
A rhyme every almanac prints: one line for the day’s stem, one for its branch.
Geng days: do not string a loom, or it stands idle. (庚不经络织机虚张)
Monkey days: do not set up a bed, or spirits enter the room. (申不安床鬼祟入房)
God of Joy (Xi Shen, 喜神): northwest. God of Wealth (Cai Shen, 财神): east. God of Fortune (Fu Shen, 福神): southwest.
