Reading December 9, 2026
In the almanac tradition, December 9, 2026 carries the day pillar 丁巳 (Dīng Sì), a Yin Fire day whose Day Officer is Hold (執 Zhí), the grasping officer, which classical sources associate with binding commitments, deeds, and holding fast. The classical sources describe the officer as the first sort in any date grade, the kind of motion the day carries before any personal chart is considered. The full cycle is set out in our guide to the Twelve Day Officers, and the page it is printed on is explained in the Tong Shu almanac guide.
The 通勝 (Tōng Shèng) lists this day as a black path (黑道 hēi dào) day, reserved for routine matters, with the 28 Mansion star Chariot (軫 Zhěn) overhead. Its clash falls on the Pig: people born in Pig years meet the clash (沖 chōng) here and traditionally keep the day routine.
