Calendar pillars and lunar positions are calculated for the reference date. Scores apply this service’s symbolic rules; they are not probabilities or measurements of health. Everyday advice is selected from a prewritten collection by date and sign, so passages may recur across dates and signs. This is not an individual consultation or a newly researched daily article, and it does not replace medical, legal or investment advice.

Yeoni: a no can be kind—today is for practising that.
— Yeoni
As the day's energy settles, words lose their edge and cooperation becomes easier. If a clash or penalty appears, pause for one beat before responding.
Rat · Core pattern
Zi (子), the first earthly branch, is associated with Water. Traditional Rat imagery emphasizes alertness and preparation. Use it to reflect on how you collect information; birth year alone cannot establish a person’s character or ability to avoid losses.
Strength
Seize information and opportunities before others. They are good at collecting and managing things, so they create a structure in which wealth accumulates little by little.
Watch point
If you postpone a decision because you have too many thoughts, the window of opportunity closes. Once the calculation is complete, proceed to execution.
Lucky habit
Check the money coming in and going out once a day. Rats become more accurate in their judgment when they see the flow with their own eyes.
How to read this
Shen (申, Monkey) and Chen (辰, Dragon) belong to the same Water trine as Zi (子, Rat). Wu (午, Horse) is its opposing branch. These are traditional relationship labels, not evidence that a meeting will succeed or a conflict will occur.

This comparison uses the three-harmony and clash relationships of the zodiac.
Frequently asked questions
How is today's fortune for Rat calculated?
The animal reading compares the birth-year branch with today’s branch, stem element and Moon phase. Scores are reflective content indicators, not event probabilities or individual diagnoses. The monthly view is a reference-date overview, not an average of the whole month.
What do trine and clash mean for the Rat?
A trine groups three earthly branches: Shen (Monkey), Zi (Rat) and Chen (Dragon) form the Water trine. Zi and Wu (Horse) form an opposing pair called a clash. These traditional categories do not predict an individual relationship or guarantee a good or bad day.
How do I check my zodiac sign?
The zodiac sign is determined by the zodiac sign of the year of birth, and the standard is not January 1st in the solar calendar, but the first day of spring according to the solar calendar. If you were born in January or early February, it may be the zodiac sign of the previous year, so check it on the almanac.
