February 13, a Gui Hai day

A good day to clear out the old and start fresh. When you want too much at once, ease off a little.

The four transformations of a Gui 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.

Po Jun Hua LuChange brings opportunity. A good day to replace old things and start a new plan.

Ju Men Hua QuanYou argue persuasively. Good for making your case or standing up for your rights; a softer tone helps.

Tai Yin Hua KeYour care and taste are easily noticed. Good for decorating, tidying up and looking after people.

Tan Lang Hua JiWanting too much at once scatters your attention. Choose one or two things you really want to do.

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 13

February 13 is a Hai (Pig) 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.
