The source lists in Yi: Marriage (嫁娶); Make an agreement (订盟); Betrothal gifts (纳采); Ancestral or ritual offerings (祭祀); Pray for blessings (祈福); Travel (出行); Renovate or build (修造); Break ground (动土); Relocation (移徙); Move into a home (入宅); Burial ground work (破土); Move household fire (出火); Install doors (安门); Set or move a bed (安床); Raise a beam (上梁); Set a monument (立碑); Move a coffin (移柩). It lists in Ji: Open business (开市); Trade or exchange (交易); Set up bed curtains (合帐); Burial (安葬).

Clash explanation (Chong / 冲)
The clash animal is Goat. In traditional almanac reading, people whose zodiac is Goat may treat this as a reminder to slow down around high-stakes plans, formal commitments, or conflict-prone conversations. The cue is clearest when it leads to calmer timing and better preparation.
Caution direction (Sha / 煞)
East is the day's caution direction. Traditionally, Sha direction is handled with extra care for major starts, movement, renovation, or ceremonial activity. For everyday plans, it works as a planning note: confirm the setting, reduce avoidable pressure, and keep ordinary life moving with awareness.

How to read a 2026 Chinese Almanac date
A Chinese almanac date brings together several records: Gregorian date, lunar date, day pillar, Yi and Ji actions, clash animal, caution direction, and seasonal markers when they appear. Read the whole record before turning it into a plan.
The date record is the base text. It identifies the lunar date, weekday, day pillar, zodiac year, solar term when present, and the original source terms listed under Yi and Ji. Without those fields, the page cannot explain why the day is being read in a particular way.
The activity gives the record scale. A wedding, a work opening, a home repair, a contract, a trip, and an ordinary errand do not carry the same weight. The almanac term has to be matched with the actual decision before the date can become practical.
| Date record | Lunar date, weekday, day pillar, zodiac year, solar term, Yi/Ji, Chong, and Sha. |
|---|---|
| Activity context | The same almanac term changes weight across marriage, travel, business, repair, signing, and daily errands. |
| Personal context | Optional birth-based reflections are shown separately; they do not change the public Yi/Ji record. |
