Is the fourth day of the eighth lunar month in 2023 an auspicious day for the zodiac?

The fourth day of the eighth lunar month in 2023 is not an auspicious day.

"Qinglong, Tiande, Yutang, Siming, Tang Ming and Jingui" are called the six zodiac days, and the fourth day of the eighth lunar month in 2023 does not belong to any of them, but the fourth day of the eighth lunar month in 2023 is a golden day and an auspicious day. In some areas, people think that Golden Day is an auspicious day, suitable for all kinds of festive activities, such as getting married and opening a business.

The auspicious day of the zodiac is one of the traditional festivals in China. According to the relationship between heavenly stems and earthly branches and the five elements, choose a specific date as an auspicious day. According to some explanations of the Gregorian calendar, the fourth day of the eighth lunar month belongs to the "water and gold day" rather than the "new moon day", so it is not suitable for activities such as breaking ground. Of course, these are folk sayings and have no scientific basis.

The origin of auspicious days of the ecliptic

The auspicious day of the zodiac is a unique term in China's traditional calendar "Huangli" (perpetual calendar), which refers to a day when everything goes well. In the Gregorian calendar, "Qinglong, Tiande, Yutang, Siming, Tang Ming and Jingui" among the "Twelve Gods" are called the Six Zodiac Days, and "Twelve Duty Days" are also called the Little Zodiac Days. When the six gods of the zodiac are on duty, everything is appropriate, and they will not avoid evil, that is, "the zodiac is auspicious."

According to the influence of celestial bodies and astrology on human beings, the ancients formulated the ecliptic underworld day, which provided some references and choices for China people to choose the right day to avoid misfortune. This auspicious culture has been deeply rooted in the thoughts of the people in China since ancient times, and has been affecting the lives of the people in China, and has formed a custom.
