The Almanac of You — a personalized Chinese almanac (Tong Shu)

人生日历:按你自己的八字命盘逐日排定的老黄历,从出生到百岁,每天一页。

Your whole life, page by page. The Almanac of You turns the traditional Chinese almanac (通书, Tong Shu) into a book of days calculated for one person: your birth date, time and place fix a BaZi chart (Four Pillars), and every day from your first breath to your hundredth year gets its own page — the day's officer and spirits, its traditional Do (宜) and Avoid (忌) list, and a second, personal list derived from how that day relates to your chart.

How it works 怎么算

Chart and almanac computation runs entirely in your browser as deterministic code (the same tyme4ts / 寿星万年历 astronomical calendar engine mainstream Chinese perpetual calendars use) — no large language model is involved, and the same inputs always give the same pages.

Each day card carries: a composite day score (0-100) and one of five labels; the Day Officer line; the general 宜/忌 activities; and your personal lines — the day's Ten God relation to your chart, branch relations such as Clash or Six Harmony against each of your four pillars, and the day element's balance against your balancing element.

Example of a Day Officer line, from the corpus behind every page:

Day Officer: Break. Nothing launched today holds — mend, prune, undo.

FAQ

What is a Chinese almanac (Tong Shu)?

A Tong Shu is a traditional Chinese day book that marks, for every day, which activities are favored and which are to be avoided. The Almanac of You generates one almanac page per day of your life, calculated from your own birth chart.

What do "Do" and "Avoid" (宜/忌) mean on a day card?

Do (宜) lists concrete activities the tradition favors that day — sign, travel, gather. Avoid (忌) lists what it warns against — lend money, break ground. In The Almanac of You the lists are personalized: your chart filters the day's general advice into what matters for you.

What is a Day Officer?

One of twelve rotating duties (建除十二神) that mark the character of the day — Establish, Remove, Full, Flat, Stable, Hold, Break, Danger, Success, Receive, Open, Close. Each says what the day is for.

How is the almanac personalized to me?

Your birth date, time and place fix a BaZi chart (Four Pillars). Each passing day relates to that chart — through the Ten Gods, branch relations such as Clash or Six Harmony, and your balancing element — and those relations set your personal Do/Avoid list and day score.

Does the site use AI or large language models?

No. Every page is computed by deterministic calendar and BaZi code in your browser. Nothing you enter is sent to a model, and the output never changes because of one.
