Modern Chinese Almanac – The Modern Chinese Almanac is derived from the ancient
Chinese Farmer’s Almanac, which has governed the planning of Chinese farmer’s and
nobles alike for thousands of years. Our modern interpretation uses the Chinese
constellations to determine favorable and unfavorable characteristics of each day.
In addition, we use Four Pillar analysis to determine lucky and unlucky days and
hours. With this information, we extract modern-day activities to help you plan
the year ahead. Your Modern Chinese Almanac is divided into three views:
1. Daily View -- Contains specific details about the day, hourly luck and
your daily horoscope.
2. Monthly View -- A snapshot of the month, this page provides you with an
iconic view of activities to do and avoid. In addition, you can sort by activity
to find out which days you can be most successful.
3. Luck Forecast -- A snapshot of your year from a lucky perspective using
Four Pillar Analysis.
NOTE: The free version of the Almanac only allows for three day's worth of the daily
view, and prohibits viewing the monthly view or lucky forecast.
