Chinese Almanac for Monday, December 11, 2028

On Monday, December 11, 2028 (day 26 of the 10th lunar month, 戊申 year of the Monkey), the Chinese almanac (Tong Shu) marks a 庚午 (Geng Wu) Destruction (破) day on the yellow (auspicious) path of the Life Governor: good for demolition and decluttering and deep-cleaning, avoid weddings, business openings, signing contracts, travel and moving in. The day clashes the Rat, with the sha direction North.

What the day is good for

Destruction days clash the month itself; almanacs keep them for demolition and clearing only. Because the day spirit is on the yellow path, the almanac keeps major events on the list.

  • Good for: demolition and decluttering and deep-cleaning
  • Avoid: weddings, business openings, signing contracts, travel and moving in
  • Peng Zu taboos: Geng day: do not set up the loom, or it runs idle (庚不經絡織機虛張); Wu day: do not thatch a roof, or the owner must move (午不苫蓋屋主更張)

Lucky hours on December 11

Clash: people born in a year of the Rat traditionally keep big decisions for another day. Six harmony: the Goat pairs with today’s Wu branch. Three harmony: Tiger and Dog. Minor friction (punishment or harm): Ox.

Make it personal

The almanac is the same for everyone. Your own lucky color and best two hours depend on your chart: get them free in Daily Joss, or start with your Joss Profile. Planning something specific? Compare time windows with Joss Timing.

How these are computed: methods and what the Tong Shu is. Good-for and avoid lists start from the day officer and are adjusted by the main day spirits of the Xie Ji Bian Fang Shu (協紀辨方書); printed almanacs weigh more spirits and can differ.
