The Harvester. Collect days gather in what has been sown — harvesting, collecting payments, accounting, and storing. The flip side: what you give away on a Collect day tends to keep flowing outward, so the classics advise against major purchases or lending.

You are a cultural interpreter of the Chinese Tung Shing (通勝, Chinese Almanac), working in the tradition of the imperial 1739 Qianlong Xie Ji Bian Fang Shu (協紀辨方書). ## Today's Almanac Data (pre-computed by the 12Zodiacs engine — treat as ground truth) - Date: Thursday, July 10, 2025 - Lunar date: 乙巳年 六月十六 - Day Pillar / Ri Zhu (日柱): 庚辰 (Geng Chen) · NaYin: 白蜡金 (Metal of White Wax) - Day Officer / Zhi Shen (值神): Collect (收) - Belt: 黑道 Black Belt — caution (白虎) - Clash / Chong Sha (冲煞): clashes with Dog; unlucky for Dog-born people. Evil direction (Sha): South - Auspicious for / Yi (宜): harvesting, collecting debts, accounting - Avoid / Ji (忌): weddings, funerals, major announcements, risky ventures - Key Spirits / Shen Sha (神煞): day auspicious spirits (日家吉神): 月空, 天恩, 时德, 天马, 普护; day caution spirits (日家凶煞): 天罡, 五虚, 白虎 - Solar term context (节气): 小暑后3天 ## User's Situation - Birth year: [YOUR BIRTH YEAR] - Chinese zodiac animal: [YOUR ZODIAC ANIMAL] - Event you are planning: [e.g. wedding / signing a contract / moving house / launching a new product / buying a car] ## Your Task 1. Interpret today STRICTLY from the data above. Do NOT calculate or estimate any calendar data yourself (no lunar conversion, no GanZhi, no solar terms). If you cite any date, officer, or spirit, quote it verbatim from above — never generate almanac values that were not provided. 2. If the data above seems insufficient for a question, say so directly instead of guessing. 3. Personalize the reading for the user's event. If the zodiac field was left blank, skip the zodiac-clash personalization rather than assuming one. 4. Use only the Chinese Tung Shing framework. Do not mix in Western astrology, tarot, or horoscope systems. 5. Answer in modern, professional English. Keep Chinese terms with pinyin, e.g. Zhi Shen (值神), Yi (宜), Ji (忌). 6.

Today's Reading — Why This Day Feels the Way It Does
On this specific day the pillar Geng Chen (庚辰) places it under the Collect (收) Officer — a gathering day — receive payments, consolidate resources, close accounts and bring scattered efforts back together. The day falls under the Bai Hu (White Tiger) (白虎) — a Black Belt deity whose hours demand more selective timing.
The NaYin voice of the pillar is 白蜡金 Metal of White Wax, and the day's protective geometry clashes the Dog — born in years like 1994, 2006, 2018 — who should defer bold joint moves until the window passes. Meanwhile Rooster-born visitors find the day quietly cooperative: the Six Harmony channel is open for negotiation, alliances and reconciliation.
Read together with the hour table above, the practical takeaway: anchor commitments in the Yellow Belt hours, let the Black Belt hours carry routine work, and treat any veto flag as the final word — exactly as the 1739 Xie Ji Bian Fang Shu arbitrates it.
What Is the Tung Shing (通勝)?
The Tung Shing — also written Tong Sheng or Tung Shu (通書), and known in English as the Chinese Almanac, Yellow Calendar, or Imperial Calendar (皇曆) — is the traditional Chinese almanac that families have consulted for over a thousand years to pick auspicious dates for weddings, moves, business openings, and every major undertaking.
The name carries a story: the almanac was originally called Tong Shu (通書, "the all-encompassing book"), but in Cantonese that sounds uncomfortably close to "all lost" (輸). Guangdong publishers flipped the unlucky homophone to Tung Shing (通勝, "all victories") — the reason overseas Chinese families, who grew up with Hong Kong-printed editions, still say Tung Shing today while Mandarin speakers say Tong Shu.
Its lineage is imperial: dating back to oracle-bone divination of the Shang dynasty (c. 1250 BCE) and codified under Qing emperor Qianlong in the 1739 compendium Xie Ji Bian Fang Shu (協紀辨方書), the almanac maps each day onto the twelve Day Officers (建除十二神), the Yellow and Black Belt deities (黃道/黑道), and a four-tier arbitration of auspicious and inauspicious spirits — the exact canon our engine implements with NASA-grade JPL ephemeris astronomy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Tung Shing today — is today a good day?
Thursday, July 10, 2025 is a standard Collect (收) Day on the Black Belt — fine for routines, with today's taboos worth respecting. The full four-tier arbitration runs in the verdict banner at the top of this page.
What are Tung Shing's lucky hours today?
Today's Yellow-Belt (auspicious) double-hours include 03:00-04:59, 07:00-08:59, 09:00-10:59, 15:00-16:59. The complete twelve-hour table above marks every window Yellow (favorable) or Black (caution) with its own GanZhi pillar.
What is today's date in the Tung Shing calendar?
Thursday, July 10, 2025 is a 乙巳 year, Collect (收) Day Officer, Bai Hu (White Tiger) (白虎) — recomputed daily from the JPL DE440s ephemeris, never copied from a printed book.
Which zodiac does Tung Shing clash with today?
Today clashes with the Dog (冲戌), with the unlucky direction (Sha) at South. If you were born in a Dog year, tradition advises keeping today to lighter schedules.
What is Tung Shing and how do I read it?
The Tung Shing (通勝) is the traditional Chinese almanac: for each day it gives the lunar date, the governing Day Officer (one of twelve), the deity path (Yellow Belt = auspicious windows), the activities favored and avoided, and lucky hours. This page renders all of it in English with the original Chinese terms preserved — start with the Officer badge and the Yi/avoid board, then check your birth year against the clash animal.
How accurate is this Tung Shing compared to the Hong Kong Observatory?
All 24 solar terms of 2026 verified against the Hong Kong Observatory official solar-term table: 24 of 24 match within one minute, 11 exact to the minute (Start of Spring 2026: February 4, 04:02, matching to the minute). HKO computes from HM Nautical Almanac Office / USNO data while our engine uses JPL's DE440s ephemeris; the residual spread of one minute on some terms is the ΔT Earth-rotation prediction difference between the two observatory-grade ephemerides. You can repeat the check yourself: compare any term instant on our pages against the HKO table.
Is there a Tung Shing calendar for 2026 online?
Yes — the month-by-month Tung Shing calendar at /tung-shing/calendar/ serves every month of 2026 (and any year from 1900 to 2100) in the same engine-verified format, with each date linking to its full daily reading.
