Chinese Almanac (Tung Shing) August 2026
The day-by-day tung shing for August 2026 - 31 days of the 丙午 Year of the Horse. Each day lists its pillar, its day officer, what the almanac marks favorable (宜 yi) and to avoid (忌 ji), and the zodiac sign the day clashes with.
Solar terms this month: Start of Autumn (立秋) on August 7 · End of Heat (处暑) on August 23.
By the twelve-officer cycle, the classically favored days this month - 开 Open days (openings, new ventures): August 12, 24 · 成 Complete days (fruition, the good day to finish): August 10, 22. Always read the day's own yi/ji and clash before fixing a date; an Open day that clashes your zodiac is not your day.
