Chinese Almanac Today & Auspicious Dates | OpenFate
Check today's Chinese almanac or any date for auspicious activities, lucky hours, solar terms, clashes, and nearby dates. Traditional labels are not guarantees.

Distinguish calculated calendar fields from traditional auspicious or inauspicious interpretation.
Use one lookup for cultural reference and low-stakes planning.
Best For
People checking a traditional Chinese almanac date and its calculation basis.
Readers comparing daily activities, hours, clashes, and solar terms.
Cultural reference and low-stakes planning—not safety, medical, financial, or legal decisions.
FAQ
Common questions about this OpenFate tool.
What does the Huangli lookup calculate?
It displays dated calendar fields such as solar terms, activity labels, hours, clashes, Tai positions, and annual directions under the basis selected on the page.
Why can Huangli results differ between tools?
Tools can use different date boundaries, timezones, local-versus-traditional bases, source tables, or interpretive rules. Compare the stated basis before comparing labels.
Does an auspicious date guarantee a good result?
No. Auspicious and inauspicious labels are traditional interpretations, not scientifically validated probabilities. Check weather, safety, schedules, health, finances, consent, and professional requirements.

Uses the selected China civil date. Annual Ganzhi and directions share the Li Chun boundary; hours use Shanghai time.
How this result is built
Lunar dates stay on the Chinese calendar; annual Huangli and Feng Shui fields use the Li Chun convention. Recommendations require direct task evidence, keep conflicts visible, and never use AI to calculate the result.

Pengzu Notes
Avoid delicate repair work, threading, or precision setup; effort can look busy but fail to hold. Avoid grief rituals and heavy mourning gestures; the classical image amplifies sorrow.

Lunar Mansion
The classical Kui mansion reading is treated as inauspicious on this date, so household moves and major openings are read more cautiously than the top-line daily verdict alone suggests.
