Tong Shu 通書 Daily Almanac: 2026-09-09 — 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, 2026-09-09 (Lunar 2026/7/28), is a 除 (Chú) day – the Removing Day – demanding strategic cleansing of stagnant energy. The Fire Dog (丙戌) day pillar amplifies transformation through fire, making this ideal for ritual purification and systemic renewal. Avoid all major life transitions: marriage ceremonies, house moves, and construction are strictly forbidden as they clash with 除’s core purpose of clearing the old. Today’s energy favors medical consultations, deep cleaning of HDB kitchens, and resolving lingering disputes. Do not seek fortune-telling or schedule new contracts – this is a day of release, not acquisition. For Singaporeans, this means prioritizing home decluttering before the weekend or scheduling dental appointments during auspicious hours.

Today’s Day Pillar 今日日柱

丙戌 (Bǐng Xū) – Fire Dog Day. The day stem 丙 (Bing) is Yang Fire, symbolizing clarity and transformation. The hidden stems reveal a complex interplay: 戌 (Xū) contains ① 戊 Earth (main), ② 辛 Metal (mid), and ③ 丁 Fire (residual). This creates a Fire-Earth-Metal tension, where Fire (day stem) struggles to nurture Earth (戌) while being partially consumed by Metal (辛). The Month Pillar 丁酉 (Dīng Yǒu) – Yin Fire Rooster – compounds this with 丁 Fire competing against 丁 Fire (Year Pillar), creating friction. Crucially, 戌酉害 (Xū Yǒu Hài) – the hidden obstruction between Day and Month – indicates concealed blockages in home energy or workplace communication. As a Fire Dog day, it demands bold action to cut through stagnation, but requires restraint to avoid overbearing decisions. For Singaporeans, this means addressing that unresolved conflict with your HDB neighbor or clearing the cluttered pantry before 5pm.

Today is the 除 (Chú) day – the Removing Day – where the essence is purification. This is not merely physical cleaning; it is systemic energy cleansing. The 除 day mandates ritualistic elimination of what no longer serves: outdated documents, stagnant relationships, or cluttered living spaces. Ideal activities include deep cleaning HDB kitchens (especially sink drains), scheduling dental check-ups (medical treatment), starting home renovations (remediation), and getting haircuts (cleansing hair energy). For Singaporeans, this means donating unused items to Sembawang Community Centre or resetting your HDB fridge’s water filter. Avoid all marriage-related activities (weddings, engagements), moving house, or starting construction – these disrupt the cleansing flow. The 除 day forbids visiting sick people (探病) because healing energy is redirected to systemic renewal, not medical intervention. As the almanac states: ‘Removing old energy requires total focus; bringing new life in during cleansing invites chaos.’ Do not schedule property viewings or sign new tenancy agreements today – save these for the next 除 day (Sept 19).

Void Branches 午 and 未 (11am–1pm, 1–3pm) carry weakened energy – cancel all important appointments during these hours.

今日风水方位 Feng Shui Directions for Today

Fire energy (今日日元素) flows strongest in the South (180°). For HDB residents, activate the southeast corner of your living room (South for Singapore) with red crystals (e.g., carnelian) to enhance cleansing energy. Place a small red lamp on the coffee table to symbolize Fire’s transformative power. Avoid placing water features (like aquariums) in the South – Water clashes with Fire. Wear orange or bright gold during your MRT commute (e.g., orange scarf for 10am train) to harmonize with the day’s energy. For CBD professionals, position your desk facing South to attract career clarity. Do not wear white or black today – they disrupt Fire’s stability. For hawker centre visits, choose stalls with red signage (e.g., Tiong Bahru’s red-lit kopi tiam) to align with auspicious energy.
