Today's reading

  • Today leans toward "No Other Matters": better suited to wrapping up, mending and tidying tasks.
  • Clash notice: “(Gui-Wei) Goat, Misfortune East”, mind it if your zodiac or direction is involved.
  • Data is fairly complete, but still pair it with your real plans; don't treat folk reference as the sole basis.

FAQ

  • Can almanac scores decide matters?
    Not for direct decisions. Scores only aid reading do/don't, spirits and fortune; important matters still need real conditions.
  • Why do suitable and avoid both show on the same day?
    The traditional almanac references by activity; one day may suit some activities and need avoiding others.
  • How should hour reference be used?
    Hour aids daily timing; for key decisions add personal plans, local time and real constraints.
