How is the Close Day calculated in the Chinese calendar? This is a day whose Earthly branch (an animal from the cycle of 12 animals of the Chinese calendar) is previous to the Earthly branch of the current month. For example, in the month of the Rabbit, the Close days will be all the days of the Tiger. However, it is not easy to calculate these days on your own, especially since without the Chinese calendar it is impossible to determine either the day of the Tiger or any other animal. But you can use our Feng Shui Fortune Calendar, which shows indicators for any day.

Close Day is the last in the twelve-day cycle of the Day Officers, it closes the cycle, and therefore is not considered the best for starting new things, although it is quite suitable for completing old ones. The texts say that on this day you can only build dams, but nowadays few people build dams. In the modern world, this includes minor repairs, housework, sorting out papers, correspondence, or any other routine tasks. You can also arrange funerals, install new tombstones and monuments. The day is good for summing up and finishing what was started earlier, as well as for going on a diet. After the day of Close, the day of Establishment will come again and a new cycle of twelve Officers will begin.

Do not seek medical care on the Close day, do not organize holidays, or perform any important personal or commercial activities. The day will not add strength to them, which is why the effectiveness of these actions will be in question.

Below is the designation of the 12 Day Officers in Tong Shu, a traditional Chinese almanac

“The day the message stops. Building dams and dikes, damming canals and ditches, digging holes and covering vulnerable spots, posting notices is good luck. Opening shops and stores, traveling and doing other things is unlucky. A day that is always printed in black in Chinese almanacs. Organization of funerals and installation of monuments are not prohibited. The day is also suitable for conservation and abstinence, starting a diet or other restrictive regimes, processing correspondence and making decisions.”
