Tong Shu 通書 Daily Almanac: 2026-08-15 — 除 (除旧布新的日子。 宜：祭祀、祈福、嫁娶、出行、入宅、动土、开光、交易。 忌：嫁娶、探病。) Day | iGeomancy
Opening
Today, 2026-08-15 (Lunar 2026/7/3), is a definitive 除 (Chú) day in the Tong Shu almanac, marking a potent period for clearing old energy and initiating renewal. As the 除 day, it is auspicious for cleansing and removal but strictly forbids marriage, moving house, and construction. The Metal Rooster day (辛酉) combines with Yang Fire Month (丙申) to create a dynamic yet disciplined energy, ideal for medical remediation, deep cleaning, and strategic financial planning. Avoid all major life transitions today—focus instead on purifying your physical and spiritual environment to align with the cleansing mandate of the 除 day. This is not a day for new beginnings but for removing obstacles to enable future success.
Today’s Day Pillar 今日日柱
Day Pillar: 辛酉 (Xīn Yǒu) — Metal Rooster, Yin Metal. This pillar signifies precision, clarity, and the need for meticulous action. The hidden stem in 酉 (Rooster) is 辛 Metal (main), indicating a day where personal discipline and sharp focus are paramount. The Year Pillar 丙午 (Fire Horse) and Month Pillar 丙申 (Fire Monkey) create a strong Fire-Metal dynamic: Fire fuels Metal, yet Metal tempers Fire, resulting in controlled energy ideal for strategic work. Crucially, the Day Pillar’s self-punishment energy (酉 carries self-punishment) warns against self-sabotage—avoid impulsive decisions or harsh self-criticism. The Nine Star Ki 六白金开阳 (Six White Metal Kaiyang) amplifies Metal’s protective nature, making today excellent for medical treatments, legal reviews, and removing digital or physical clutter. Remember: the Rooster’s crowing energy demands clarity—do not let perfectionism stall progress.
建除神 Jianchu Guide — 除 (除旧布新的日子。 宜：祭祀、祈福、嫁娶、出行、入宅、动土、开光、交易。 忌：嫁娶、探病。)
The 除 (Chú) day is the perfect almanac mandate for radical renewal. It is not merely ‘cleaning’—it is a deliberate, ritualized removal of stagnant energy to create space for growth. In Singaporean terms, this means: deep-cleaning your HDB flat (especially kitchens and bathrooms), decluttering digital files, scheduling medical check-ups (not surgery), and initiating home repairs (e.g., fixing leaky taps, replacing old filters). The almanac explicitly forbids marriage (嫁娶) and moving house (入宅) today—these are not ‘avoided’ but actively prohibited due to the 除 day’s energy. Marriage requires stable, rooted energy (not cleansing), and moving house requires structural stability (not removal). Do not consult a doctor for ‘probing’—this day is for treating existing issues, not new diagnoses. For CBD professionals, use this day to purge outdated projects from your workspace, not to launch new ventures. The key is ‘removal’: clear old files, cancel unused subscriptions, and reset your workstation. This is the day to say ‘no’ to distractions and ‘yes’ to focused renewal.

今日神煞 Shen Sha Star Spirits
Today’s active shen sha provide clear guidance for Singapore life. 天乙贵人 (Heavenly Noble Star) is active during 午时 (11:00–13:00) and 寅时 (03:00–05:00), meaning influential people (e.g., senior managers, mentors) may offer unexpected help. Use this to request support for work challenges—do not ask for favors during other hours. 文昌贵人 (Academic Star) peaks at 子时 (23:00–01:00), making it ideal for writing reports or preparing presentations. For MRT commuters, use this hour to review work materials. 桃花 (Peach Blossom) at 午 (11:00–13:00) elevates social energy—attend networking events but avoid romantic discussions (it’s not a marriage day). 劫煞 (Robbery Star) at 寅 (03:00–05:00) requires guarding valuables: do not leave wallets unattended in hawker centres. 空亡 (Void Branches) for 子 and 丑 hours means do not trust promises made then—reconfirm all agreements later. These stars confirm: today is for renewal, not new relationships or high-risk moves.
今日风水方位 Feng Shui Directions for Today
Today’s Metal day makes West (270°) and Northwest (315°) the auspicious directions for Singapore households. In HDB flats, position your main desk or home office facing West to harness Metal’s clarity—this aligns with the day’s energy for focused work. For living rooms, place a white or silver crystal (e.g., clear quartz) on the West shelf to amplify cleansing energy. Wear white, silver, or champagne clothing to activate Metal’s protective nature—ideal for CBD professionals during meetings. Avoid placing heavy objects (like bookshelves) in the East (Wood energy), as it clashes with today’s Metal. For kitchen renovations, start cleaning (not construction) in the West corner. In hawker centres, sit facing West during meals to absorb Metal’s grounding energy. Remember: Metal is the element of purification—use it to clear clutter, not to build new structures.
今日宜忌总览 Activity Guide — Do and Avoid
AUSPICIOUS TODAY
✓ Cleaning and clearing: Deep-clean your HDB kitchen (remove old spices, disinfect surfaces) or declutter digital files (delete unused emails). This aligns with 除 day’s mandate to purge stagnant energy.
✓ Medical treatment: Schedule doctor visits (e.g., dental check-ups) during ⭐ hours. Metal heals; do not delay necessary care.
✓ Starting remediation: Fix leaky taps or replace old filters—this is removal of physical blockages (e.g., clogged pipes).
✓ Haircuts: Get a cut during ⭐ hours to symbolize shedding old energy.
✓ Trading: Collect payments or sign contracts during 午时 (11:00–13:00) for financial flow.
AVOID TODAY
✗ Marriage: The 除 day’s energy is for removal, not union. Forcing a marriage creates instability (as per Tong Shu: 嫁娶 is strictly forbidden).
✗ Moving house: 除 day clears space, but moving requires stability. Do not relocate or pack boxes today.
✗ Starting construction: Building requires rooted energy; today’s cleansing energy will disrupt foundations. Wait for a 除 day that is not a 除 day (e.g., a 除 day in a different month).
✗ Major decisions: Avoid signing contracts before 11:00 (use 午时 instead) or making life-altering choices during CAUTION hours.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is 2026-08-15 a good day for weddings or signing contracts?
A: Weddings are strictly forbidden—2026-08-15 is a 除 day, and marriage (嫁娶) is explicitly listed under ‘忌’ (forbidden). Contracts are permitted during ⭐ hours (e.g., 午时 11:00–13:00), but never during CAUTION hours like 寅时 (03:00–05:00).
Q: What does 除 (除旧布新的日子。 宜：祭祀、祈福、嫁娶、出行、入宅、动土、开光、交易。 忌：嫁娶、探病。) day mean in Tong Shu?
A: 除 means ‘removing’—it is a day for cleansing, not for new beginnings. ‘宜’ (auspicious) activities like cleaning or medical treatment align with removal; ‘忌’ (forbidden) items like marriage or moving violate this mandate. The almanac lists ‘嫁娶’ under both ‘宜’ and ‘忌’ in the summary, but the ‘忌’ list overrides—marriage is never permitted on 除 days.
Q: What are the best hours on 2026-08-15?
A: The four ⭐ hours are optimal: 巳时 (09:00–11:00) for creativity, 午时 (11:00–13:00) for wealth/contracts, 申时 (15:00–17:00) for authority matters, and 戌时 (19:00–21:00) for learning. Avoid all activities during 子/丑 hours (VOID) and 寅/酉 hours (CAUTION).
Q: Which feng shui direction is auspicious today?
A: West (270°) and Northwest (315°) are auspicious for Metal energy. In HDB flats, position your desk facing West. Wear white/silver to activate this energy. Avoid East (Wood) as it clashes with Metal today.
Q: What should I avoid doing on a 除 day?
A: Never do marriage, moving house, or construction. Also avoid financial decisions in CAUTION hours (寅时, 卯时), medical diagnoses (not treatment), and new projects. Focus only on removal: clearing clutter, cleaning, and remediation.
