How many auspicious days does the Chinese almanac give for March 2027?

3 wedding dates, 4 for moving house and 3 for opening a business — 10 entries across the three events, out of 31 days. Each date has to clear the Day Officer filter, the almanac's own favourable list, the Year Breaker and the four-separation days. A day can qualify for more than one event, so the three lists overlap.

When is Dragon Head Raising Day in 2027 and what does the almanac say about that day?

Dragon Head Raising Day (龙头节) falls on 9 March 2027, month 2 · day 2 in the lunar calendar. The almanac gives that day the pillar 丁亥 and the Day Officer 成 Success (Cheng); it clashes with the Snake. It passes the strict filter for moving and opening.

Why is 20 March 2027 excluded even though its Day Officer looks fine?

It is a four-separation day (四离四绝): the day immediately before Spring Equinox (春分), which arrives on 21 Mar 2027, 04:24 (Beijing time, UTC+8). The classical rule is that the old season's energy is spent and the new one has not begun, so weddings and major moves are held over. March 2027 has one such day, and it is this filter — not the Day Officer — that keeps it out of the three lists above.

Chinese Calendar March 2027: Lunar Dates, Day Officers and Auspicious Days

31 days · Awakening of Insects and Spring Equinox · 3 wedding dates, 4 for moving house and 3 for opening a business

March 2027 has 31 days in the Gregorian calendar, and the Chinese calendar cuts them twice over. The lunar calendar runs lunar month 1 (正月) from 1 March 2027 to 7 March 2027 and lunar month 2 (二月) from 8 March 2027 to 31 March 2027. The solar half of the same system — the one the almanac uses to set each day's pillar — hands the month over from the Tiger month 壬寅 to the Rabbit month 癸卯 at Awakening of Insects (惊蛰) on 6 Mar 2027, 03:39 (Beijing time, UTC+8).

Two solar terms fall in March 2027: Awakening of Insects (惊蛰) on 6 Mar 2027, 03:39 (Beijing time, UTC+8) and Spring Equinox (春分) on 21 Mar 2027, 04:24 (Beijing time, UTC+8). The almanac (通书 / 黄历) entry for each of the 31 days in the table below carries its own stem-branch day pillar, one of the twelve Day Officers, the animal the day clashes with, and the activities the classical tables mark as favourable.

All 31 days belong to the 丁未 Fire Goat year, which began at Lichun, 4 Feb 2027, 09:46 (Beijing time, UTC+8). Days whose branch clashes with the year branch 未 are Sui Po (Year Breaker) days and are struck out of every list below — in March that is 11 March 2027 (己丑) and 23 March 2027 (辛丑).

Under the strict reading used on this site — Day Officer Stable, Success or Open, the activity listed as favourable and not as unfavourable, no Sui Po day and no four-separation day — March 2027 has 3 wedding dates, 4 for moving house and 3 for opening a business. 7 of the 31 days carry a Destruction or Danger officer or are Year Breaker days, and are listed further down as days to take slowly.

Solar terms in March 2027

A solar term is a moment, not a day. The twelve 'Jie' terms start a new solar month, which is where the day pillars change their month column; the other twelve fall inside a month.
Solar term	Chinese	Exact moment (Beijing, UTC+8)	Starts a solar month?
Awakening of Insects	惊蛰	6 Mar 2027, 03:39	Yes — the Rabbit month 癸卯 begins
Spring Equinox	春分	21 Mar 2027, 04:24	No — a mid-month term

The Day Officer (建除十二神) is counted from the solar month's branch: the day whose branch matches the month's is Establish (建), and the twelve run in order from there. Days up to 2027-03-05 are counted from the Tiger month 壬寅, the rest from the Rabbit month 癸卯.

The best dates in March 2027

Wedding — 3 dates

Weddings traditionally take one of the three strongest officers — Stable (定), Success (成) or Open (开) — on a day whose almanac entry lists 嫁娶 (marriage) as favourable, avoiding the Year Breaker and the "four separations".
Date	Lunar date	Day pillar	Day Officer	Clashes with
2027-03-04 Thu	Month 1 · day 27	壬午	定 Stable (Ding)	Rat
2027-03-17 Wed	Month 2 · day 10	乙未	定 Stable (Ding)	Ox
2027-03-29 Mon	Month 2 · day 22	丁未	定 Stable (Ding)	Ox

Moving house — 4 dates

The move itself is timed for daylight (traditionally before noon), the stove and the bed are the first things carried in, and the head of the household's zodiac must not be the day's clash animal.
Date	Lunar date	Day pillar	Day Officer	Clashes with
2027-03-04 Thu	Month 1 · day 27	壬午	定 Stable (Ding)	Rat
2027-03-09 Tue	Month 2 · day 2	丁亥	成 Success (Cheng)	Snake
2027-03-17 Wed	Month 2 · day 10	乙未	定 Stable (Ding)	Ox
2027-03-29 Mon	Month 2 · day 22	丁未	定 Stable (Ding)	Ox

Business opening — 3 dates

The opening ceremony — lion dance, red banner, first sale — is held in the morning; the owner's zodiac must not be the day's clash animal, and the Year Breaker day is always avoided.
Date	Lunar date	Day pillar	Day Officer	Clashes with
2027-03-04 Thu	Month 1 · day 27	壬午	定 Stable (Ding)	Rat
2027-03-09 Tue	Month 2 · day 2	丁亥	成 Success (Cheng)	Snake
2027-03-29 Mon	Month 2 · day 22	丁未	定 Stable (Ding)	Ox

Days to take slowly in March 2027

Two rules put a day on this list: a Day Officer of Destruction (破) or Danger (危) — the two the classical tables rate lowest for starting anything — and the Year Breaker (岁破) days, whose branch clashes with the year branch. Nothing here is forbidden; the tradition is to keep such days for maintenance, clearing out and repairs rather than for beginnings.

7 of the 31 days in March 2027.
Date	Day pillar	Day Officer	Why it is on this list
2027-03-07 Sun	乙酉	破 Destruction (Po)	Destruction officer
2027-03-08 Mon	丙戌	危 Danger (Wei)	Danger officer
2027-03-11 Thu	己丑	开 Open (Kai)	Year Breaker — clashes with the year branch
2027-03-19 Fri	丁酉	破 Destruction (Po)	Destruction officer
2027-03-20 Sat	戊戌	危 Danger (Wei)	Danger officer
2027-03-23 Tue	辛丑	开 Open (Kai)	Year Breaker — clashes with the year branch
2027-03-31 Wed	己酉	破 Destruction (Po)	Destruction officer

The twelve signs in March 2027

Ratings come from the branch relationship between each sign and the solar month's branch: Six Harmony or Three Harmony reads as favourable, a clash, harm, punishment or destruction as caution, everything else as steady. Because the solar month changes mid-month, most signs get two readings inside one calendar month.
Sign	Until 2027-03-05 · Tiger month 壬寅	From 2027-03-06 · Rabbit month 癸卯
Rat	Steady — None	Caution — Punishment 三刑
Ox	Steady — None	Steady — None
Tiger	Steady — Same branch 同	Steady — None
Rabbit	Steady — None	Steady — Same branch 同
Dragon	Steady — None	Caution — Harm 六害
Snake	Caution — Harm 六害 + Punishment 三刑	Steady — None
Horse	Favourable — Three Harmony 三合	Caution — Destruction 六破
Goat	Steady — None	Favourable — Three Harmony 三合
Monkey	Caution — Clash 六冲 + Punishment 三刑	Steady — None
Rooster	Steady — None	Caution — Clash 六冲
Dog	Favourable — Three Harmony 三合	Favourable — Six Harmony 六合
Pig	Caution — Six Harmony 六合 + Destruction 六破	Favourable — Three Harmony 三合
