It lists in Ji: Ritual restraint (斋醮); Move into a home (入宅); Install doors (安门); Burial (安葬); Burial ground work (破土); Funeral procession (行丧). Each entry names a specific traditional activity: ritual offerings are not general reflection, and sealing holes is not cleaning or moving into a home. Related activities are not interchangeable.
How this date reads for common plans
Match traditional terms to the actual plan. The day record still matters more than any single label.
Listed in Yi
Moving
Ji lists Move into a home (入宅). Yi separately lists Relocation (移徙); retain both entries without cancelling the restriction. No broader permission for entering a new home or relocating follows.
Wedding
No exact entry for marriage or named betrothal rites is listed. This absence does not establish suitability.
Business
Yi names Open business (开市); Trade or exchange (交易); Receive wealth or payment (纳财); Move goods or funds (出货财); Open storage (开仓). This statement applies only to those named activities, not every task in business.
Renovation
Ji lists Install doors (安门). Yi separately lists Lay foundations (起基); Raise pillars (竖柱); retain both entries without cancelling the restriction. No broader permission for repair, construction, ground work, demolition, or structural home changes follows.
Written contracts
Yi names Sign contracts (立券). This statement applies only to those named activities, not every task in written contracts.
This summary groups common planning categories for the selected date. Only exact named entries are matched. Read both Yi and Ji and any limiting clause; this is not a recommendation for the whole category.

Clash explanation (Chong / 冲)
The clash animal is Rabbit. In traditional almanac reading, people whose zodiac is Rabbit 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. |
