Start with the question you have today: understanding an annual theme, finding a birth sign, checking a date, or taking a moment to reflect. Each reading below names its calendar or traditional basis and explains how we apply it.
| Your question | Where to begin |
|---|---|
| Today | Start with the Chinese almanac’s dated record: lunar date, day stem-branch and named Yi/Ji activities. Read the activity that actually matches your task. |
| 2026 or 2027 | Choose the annual overview, then your birth-year sign. Our interpretations explain how the year’s stem and branch relate to that sign and to common situations. |
| Birth sign | Check the birth date against Lunar New Year. January and February birthdays can belong to the preceding zodiac year. |
| Personal reflection | Daily Ming uses a birth-year/day-stem relationship and your selected focus. For a fuller birth-time structure, the separate BaZi tool calculates year, month, day and, when supplied, hour pillars. |

A Chinese horoscope reading begins by naming the time span. Today's reading comes from the date and Huang Li. An annual reading comes from the lunar year and stem-branch name. A birth-sign reading comes from the zodiac year boundary.
Zodiac signs are the most familiar year reference, while Chinese timing also uses lunar dates, stems, branches, solar terms, Huang Li, Five Elements, and personal birth data.
A yearly horoscope gives the background of a year. A daily reading applies today's date and the reader's current focus to a more immediate action.
