How to Find the "Golden Lock" Star Hour in the Chinese Date Selection System?

The Jin Gui hours can be found in the Tung Shu (Tung Sing) almanac in the table of auspicious hours. The exact calculation method is not explicitly described. However, by studying the Tung Shu table, it becomes clear that the Jin Gui hours are determined by the combination of the Earthly Branches of the current day and hour. An approximate scheme is as follows:

You can also use our calculator to find the Golden Lock hours for each day. However, comparing the results with the Tung Shu table, you may notice that in some cases, this star is not listed. This could simply be due to space limitations in the table, where only two stars per hour are included, and "extra" stars are omitted. In any case, if you want to account for a specific hour from the original Tung Shu, it's better to double-check by referring to the book.
