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.

Today's zodiac clash + malefic direction (沖煞)
沖 Snake (巳) · 煞 West
Today's earthly branch (亥 / Pig) clashes with Snake (巳). People born in the year of the Snake should defer major decisions today (signing, weddings, openings, departures). Today's malefic energy (west) is strongest from the west — avoid major outdoor activity in that direction.
Note for your home: the front door faces toward today's 煞 (west). Classical practice asks for caution on entries / departures through the main door for major-decision activity today; routine entries are unaffected.

Today's auspicious hours (黃道吉時)
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.
丑(01:00–03:00)
辰(07:00–09:00)
午(11:00–13:00)
未(13:00–15:00)
戌(19:00–21:00)
亥(21:00–23:00)
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's flying-star reading
Today's 飛星 chart projects onto your home's directions. Each day a different star enters the center (入中) and the auspicious / cautious sectors rotate. Spend time in today's auspicious sector; be cautious of decisions in today's cautious sector.
Today's auspicious sector
Northeast九紫右弼 (Future Wealth — Period 9 timely)
Your kitchen is here.
9-Purple Future Wealth (右弼) — Period 9's TIMELY star and the strongest current-era marker. Spend time here for ambitious work, recognition pursuits, breakthrough decisions.
Today's cautious sector
Southeast五黃廉貞 (Yellow Misfortune)
Your bedroom is here.
5-Yellow Misfortune () — defer big decisions, avoid prolonged time here, and skip any disturbance (drilling, renovation, deep cleaning) in this sector today.
Today's center star (入中) 六白武曲 (Authority)
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).
Today's Almanac (Huangli / 黃曆)
Today's Day Officer (Jian-Chu Shi-Er Shen / 建除十二神)
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.
Today's Officer
Hold (執)
the "Hold" day (執)
Mixed / situational
Appropriate for (Yi · 宜)
· Harvesting
· Gathering people
· Discipline / training
· Capturing / arrests
· Fasting
Avoid (Ji · 忌)
· Travel
· Opening a business
· Marriage
· Investments
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.
