The four transformations of a Geng 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.

Tai Yang Hua LuGenerous effort is more likely to be noticed. Good for stepping up, leading and helping out.

Wu Qu Hua QuanYou decide fast and follow through. Good for clearing practical tasks that have dragged on.

Tai Yin Hua KeYour gentler side is easily appreciated. Good for looking after people and the home.

Tian Tong Hua JiYou may feel sluggish or low. Give yourself some time; there is no need to push hard.

General version: the color follows the day stem’s element and the direction follows the day branch, so it is the same for everyone. Treat it as a light tip for the day, not a promise.

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 February 15

February 15 is a Shen (Monkey) 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.
