Feng Shui Lucky Days for January 2026

January 2026. The solar month changes on January 5 at 8:22 UTC (highlighted in the grid) — on this day the Chinese calendar enters the month of 己丑 (Earth Ox) in the year of 乙巳 (Wood Snake), and the day-ruler doubles: Full (滿) gives way to Balance (平).

The Ox month spans two Chinese solar seasons:

First season — Lesser Cold (小寒), arrives January 5: one of the coldest seasons of the year, its second half long famed for the hardest frosts.

Second season — Greater Cold (大寒), comes January 20: bitterly cold, when everything is frozen; the last season of the whole annual cycle, though the first faint signs of spring begin to stir.
