The four transformations of a Yi 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.

Tian Ji Hua LuIdeas come quickly and you shift gears easily. Good for planning and reworking how things get done.

Tian Liang Hua QuanYour words carry weight. A good day to mediate or help someone decide, as long as you don't take over.

Zi Wei Hua KeExplain where you stand clearly, and you are likely to win respect.

Tai Yin Hua JiYou may keep things bottled up. Don't let small worries about home or money sit too long; saying them out loud helps.

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.
