Officer set by the day's branch vs the solar monthIn brief
The Chinese almanac, or Tong Shu, reads any single day: its day pillar and officer, what the day favours and forbids, its clash animal, and its golden and clashing hours, so you can time actions to a supportive day.
Frequently asked
What is the day officer?
The day officer is one of twelve rotating duty stars, from Establish and Full to Success and Close. Each favours certain activities: Success and Stable days suit most good undertakings, while Destruction and Danger days are avoided.
What is the clash animal of the day?
Every day carries an earthly branch, and the animal directly opposite it is the day's clash animal. People born in that animal year should avoid launching important matters that day, as the day's energy opposes theirs.
What are golden hours?
Golden hours are the double-hours that harmonise with the day's branch and carry no clash, the smoothest windows to act. FengMaster's Auspicious Hours tool ranks all twelve for any date.
