Groundbreaking Dates 2026 吉日

Q: How does the almanac pick groundbreaking dates?

The Tung Shing (通勝) lists days where the favoured activities (宜) include terms for groundbreaking — 动土. The day officer, heavenly stems, and earthly branches all factor in.

The traditional almanac 通勝 approach to choosing when to break ground: find a day the almanac marks as favourable 宜, then check that neither person's clash zodiac falls on that day. These are tendencies, not guarantees — tradition treats timing as one factor among many.

123 auspicious days found in 2026.

Questions 常問

How does the almanac pick groundbreaking dates?

The Tung Shing 通勝 lists days where the favoured activities 宜 include 动土. The day officer, heavenly stems, and earthly branches all contribute to the verdict.
