Chinese Almanac (Tung Shing) September 2026
The day-by-day tung shing for September 2026 - 30 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: White Dew (白露) on September 7 · Autumn Equinox (秋分) on September 23.
By the twelve-officer cycle, the classically favored days this month - 开 Open days (openings, new ventures): September 5, 18, 30 · 成 Complete days (fruition, the good day to finish): September 3, 16, 28. 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.
