The 2027
Chinese Almanac

Twenty-four solar terms. The lunar date for every single day. A daily officer drawn from the 建除 cycle. And a short, practical note for each month on what the season actually supports.

Not a horoscope. Not a prediction. A calendar that tells you what shape the month is in — so you can plan around it.

What's inside

Seventeen pages, and every one earns its place

A month page: each date carries the solar term, the lunar date and a daily officer
Every day carries three things. The Gregorian date, the lunar date, and the day's officer — 建, 除, 满, 平, 定, 执, 破, 危, 成, 收, 开, 闭 — with a plain English verb beside it. 成 means complete. 破 means break. You are told what to avoid without being told what to fear.
A reference page explaining all twelve daily officers with pinyin and English meanings
Every officer, explained. All twelve with tone-marked pinyin, an English verb, and one line on what that day is actually shaped for. No guessing.
The opening page: how to read the almanac, with the four pillars for the personalised edition
How to read it. The personalised edition opens with your own four pillars (四柱八字) and your element, plus three ways to use the book through the year.
A page listing the classical sources, the calculation method and printing instructions
Where it comes from. Every classical source named and dated, the calculation method explained in full, and printing instructions down to the crop marks.

Solar terms, astronomically calculated

Apparent solar longitude divided into 24 fifteen-degree arcs, computed for Beijing time. Not copied from a printed table — derived.

The lunar date on every square

Real lunar conversion, so 初一 and 腊月 mean what they should. Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Dragon Boat, Mid-Autumn and the rest are marked in the grid.

Your country's holidays

Choose US, UK, Canada or Australia at checkout. Fixed holidays, movable holidays and weekend observance rules are all handled.

Made to be printed

Crop marks at all four corners, staple points on the left margin, a hanging hole at the top centre. Print at 100%, any paper you like. A4 and US Letter both included.

The Journal — by subscription

A letter at each solar term

Twenty-four letters a year, one for each solar term. The weather in that season, one thing worth noticing, one small practice to try — and a page from the almanac to sit with.

Nothing to sell you. Nothing to count down to. Just a quiet note twice a month that arrives at the moment the year turns, so you have a reason to pause.
