The source lists in Yi: Marriage (嫁娶); Make an agreement (订盟); Betrothal gifts (纳采); Ancestral or ritual offerings (祭祀); Ritual restraint (斋醮); Deliverance rites (普渡); Remove constraints (解除); Travel (出行); Meet family or friends (会亲友); Open business (开市); Receive wealth or payment (纳财); Renovate or build (修造); Break ground (动土); Raise pillars (竖柱); Raise a beam (上梁); Consecrate or open light (开光); Open storage (开仓); Move goods or funds (出货财); Acquire livestock (纳畜); Livestock care (牧养); Open a pond (开池); Burial ground work (破土); Open a burial site (启钻). It lists in Ji: Move household fire (出火); Move into a home (入宅); Home structure work (盖屋); Install doors (安门); Burial (安葬). 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). No broader permission for entering a new home or relocating follows.
Wedding
Yi names Marriage (嫁娶); Betrothal gifts (纳采); Make an agreement (订盟). This statement applies only to those named activities, not every task in wedding.
Business
Yi names Open business (开市); 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 Home structure work (盖屋); Install doors (安门). Yi separately lists Renovate or build (修造); Break ground (动土); Raise pillars (竖柱); Raise a beam (上梁); retain both entries without cancelling the restriction. No broader permission for repair, construction, ground work, demolition, or structural home changes follows.
Written contracts
No exact entry for drawing up written contracts (立券) is listed. This absence does not establish suitability.
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 Rat. In traditional almanac reading, people whose zodiac is Rat 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)
North 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. |
