The four transformations of a Xin day

Each day's stem gives four stars Hua Lu, Hua Quan, Hua Ke and Hua Ji. This part is the general version; it doesn't look at anyone's chart.

Ju Men Hua LuHow you speak is today's asset. Good for negotiating, teaching and persuading.

Tai Yang Hua QuanYou will want to step forward and take the lead. Remember to hear other people out too.

Wen Qu Hua KeYour talents and the way you express yourself are easily appreciated. Good for writing, performing or presenting.

Wen Chang Hua JiSmall mistakes creep into documents and numbers. Look again before you sign or send money.

Hour by hour: the twelve double-hours

The Chinese almanac splits the day into twelve double-hours, each watched over by one of twelve day spirits. Six are on the yellow path (auspicious) and six on the black path (inauspicious). The Zi hour straddles midnight, so it appears twice. An inauspicious hour is not off-limits; it just calls for a little more care.

The twelve zodiac signs on December 28

December 28 is a Wei (Goat) day. This uses the folk zodiac rules of harmony, clash, punishment, harm and break to show how the day meets each sign. It is a traditional zodiac custom, separate from Zi Wei Dou Shu: treat it as a light guide for planning.

RatHarmSmall misunderstandings creep in: say things plainly and guess less.
OxClash · PunishmentA day of movement: good for travel and a change of scene, less so for head-on fights or locking in big decisions. Easy to get stuck on rules or say things too sharply: slow down and double-check.
