Chinese feng shui practice consults the Huangli () / Tongsheng (通勝) almanac before any major decision. The most prominent layers — checked by both modern HK / Taiwan-school practitioners and traditional households — are 沖煞 (today's zodiac clash + malefic direction), 二十八宿 (28 Lunar Mansions), 黃道吉時 (auspicious hours), and the day pillar (日柱). The Flying Stars sectors panel below adds the modern 玄空 compass-school analysis.
癸巳
Day stem Water (水) over day branch Fire (火)
沖 Pig (亥) · 煞 East
Today's earthly branch (巳 / Snake) clashes with Pig (亥). People born in the year of the Pig should defer major decisions today (signing, weddings, openings, departures). Today's malefic energy (east) is strongest from the east — avoid major outdoor activity in that direction.
Ox (牛)
Guardian: Black Tortoise (North)
property purchases (small window only)
most major activities; especially weddings
Six 2-hour windows today are classified auspicious (黃道吉時). Chinese practice schedules major actions — signing contracts, departures, weddings, business openings — within these windows when possible.
Method: 沖煞 follows the canonical opposing-branch wheel and 三合 (Three Harmonies) trinity for malefic direction. 二十八宿 follows the 28-day lunar mansion cycle (anchor calibrated to a known reference; mansion phase may vary ±1 day across published almanacs). 黃道吉時 per the standard Huangli hour table — 6 auspicious + 6 inauspicious 2-hour windows per day, rotated by the day's earthly branch. Day pillar derivation per the classical 60-day stem-branch (六十甲子) calendar. References: 通勝 (Tongsheng comprehensive almanac), (Imperial Almanac), 通書 (Tongshu).
Today, for each person

Today's center star (入中) 一白水星 (Career)
Method: classical 沈氏玄空 三元三符 daily flying-star formula — anchored on the closest 甲子 day to each solstice, yang circuit (winter→summer) flies forward 順飛 through 上元 1 → 中元 7 → 下元 4, yin circuit (summer→winter) flies reverse 逆飛 through 上元 9 → 中元 3 → 下元 6. Solstice dates approximated as Dec 22 / Jun 22 (actual solstices vary ±1 day year-to-year; the formula's own ±5-day closest-甲子 fudge absorbs this).
The classical Tung Shing (Tongshu / 通書) almanac reading. Each calendar day cycles through one of 12 Day Officers; each officer carries canonical Yi (宜 — appropriate for) and Ji (忌 — avoid) activity lists. Practitioners have traditionally consulted this before scheduling weddings, business openings, travel, surgery, and other major decisions.

Avoid (Ji · 忌)
Method: cycle. The day's earthly branch (地支) compared to the month's branch determines today's officer; same-branch days are 建 (Establish), advancing one officer per subsequent day. Cycle resets at solar-term month boundaries (Feb 4 立春, Mar 6 驚蟄, etc.). Reference: 通書, , 民間擇日法.
