Auspicious Hours & Daily Wisdom by The Lunar Times

This day is January 23, 2026 — the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, Ding You day, a Cheng day with Lou as the ruling star.

Cheng day is generally auspicious, but Lou star is inauspicious and carries disruptive energy. If you need to act, 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. or 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. is smoother. Avoid 1 to 3 a.m., 5 to 7 a.m., 9 to 11 a.m., 3 to 5 p.m., and 7 to 11 p.m.

Move carefully and keep an even, ordinary mindset. Follow us to explore the daily mysteries of the lunar calendar.
