Questions
What are auspicious days in the Chinese calendar?
Days the almanac marks good for an activity, such as a wedding, a move or a business opening, once the major unlucky days are taken out.
What are the major unlucky days?
Year Breaker and Month Breaker days clash with the year or month, Si Li and Si Jue fall the day before an equinox, solstice or season start, and Yang Gong taboo days are a fixed list. This site removes all of them before ranking.
Does the clash column mean I should stay home?
It names the zodiac animal that clashes with the day. By custom, people born in that animal’s year are advised to skip big events that day.
How many lucky days are there in 2027?
It depends on the activity. The almanac marks 110 days in 2027 as good for a wedding, 79 for moving house, 69 for opening a business, 83 for signing a contract and 83 for picking up a new car. Those counts are separate lists, and the same day can appear on more than one.
How are the lucky dates chosen?
A day has to be marked good for the activity in the almanac and must not be a major unlucky day. Days with one or more favorable stars or day officers for that activity rank first. In 2027, 76 days are major unlucky days that are removed from every list.
Is there a free lucky date calculator?
Yes, this site is free and needs no sign-up. Pick an activity and you get its lucky dates, ranked by the almanac's favorable stars and day officers. The table shows the top four days a month for each activity.
Can I skip dates that clash with my zodiac animal?
Yes. Open the activity page and add a birthday, and days that clash with that zodiac animal drop out of the list. This is handy if you want to follow the custom of avoiding your own clash day for a big event.
How do I choose a lucky day for a big event?
Start with the activity page that matches your event, then look at the highest-ranked dates that fit your schedule. Check the clash animal for each date, and add your birthday to filter out dates that clash with your zodiac animal. Practice varies, so many people also weigh guest availability and venue dates alongside the almanac.
