The good-for and avoid lists come from the open-source lunar calendar library (6tail), whose author built them from a popular Chinese calendar website’s data. Almanacs differ on these lists, and unlike the rest of this site they are not quoted from a classical text. How the rest is worked out
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 78 minutes behind the clock, so on your clock the Horse hour is 12:18–14:18. The table is already converted. Why
| Hour | Clock time | Luck | Clashes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rat (子) | 00:18–02:18 | Lucky | Horse (马) |
| Ox (丑) | 02:18–04:18 | Unlucky | Goat (羊) |
| Tiger (寅) | 04:18–06:18 | Lucky | Monkey (猴) |
| Rabbit (卯) | 06:18–08:18 | Lucky | Rooster (鸡) |
| Dragon (辰) | 08:18–10:18 | Unlucky | Dog (狗) |
| Snake (巳) | 10:18–12:18 | Unlucky | Pig (猪) |
| Horse (午) | 12:18–14:18 | Lucky | Rat (鼠) |
| Goat (未) | 14:18–16:18 | Lucky | Ox (牛) |
| Monkey (申) | 16:18–18:18 | Unlucky | Tiger (虎) |
| Rooster (酉) | 18:18–20:18 | Lucky | Rabbit (兔) |
| Dog (戌) | 20:18–22:18 | Unlucky | Dragon (龙) |
| Pig (亥) | 22:18–00:18 | 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 Yin Water (Gui, 癸); this month, the Water Goat month (Gui Wei, 癸未), has Yin Water (Gui, 癸). 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.
Gui days: do not go to law, or your case is weak and your opponent strong. (癸不词讼理弱敌强)
Rabbit days: do not dig a well, or the water will not be sweet. (卯不穿井水泉不香)
God of Joy (Xi Shen, 喜神): southeast. God of Wealth (Cai Shen, 财神): south. God of Fortune (Fu Shen, 福神): northeast.
