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

2 wedding dates, 2 for moving house and 2 for opening a business — 6 entries across the three events, out of 30 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 Mid-Autumn Festival in 2027 and what does the almanac say about that day?

Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋节) falls on 15 September 2027, month 8 · day 15 in the lunar calendar. The almanac gives that day the pillar 丁酉 and the Day Officer 建 Establish (Jian); it clashes with the Rabbit. It does not pass the strict filter for a wedding, a move or a business opening — festivals are family occasions, and the almanac rates them on their own pillar like any other day.

Why is 22 September 2027 excluded even though its Day Officer looks fine?

It is a four-separation day (四离四绝): the day immediately before Autumn Equinox (秋分), which arrives on 23 Sep 2027, 14:01 (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. September 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 September 2027: Lunar Dates, Day Officers and Auspicious Days

30 days · White Dew and Autumn Equinox · 2 wedding dates, 2 for moving house and 2 for opening a business

September 2027 has 30 days in the Gregorian calendar, and the Chinese calendar cuts them twice over. The lunar calendar runs lunar month 8 (八月) from 1 September 2027 to 29 September 2027 and lunar month 9 (九月) on 30 September 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 Monkey month 戊申 to the Rooster month 己酉 at White Dew (白露) on 8 Sep 2027, 04:28 (Beijing time, UTC+8).

Two solar terms fall in September 2027: White Dew (白露) on 8 Sep 2027, 04:28 (Beijing time, UTC+8) and Autumn Equinox (秋分) on 23 Sep 2027, 14:01 (Beijing time, UTC+8). The almanac (通书 / 黄历) entry for each of the 30 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 30 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 September that is 7 September 2027 (己丑) and 19 September 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 — September 2027 has 2 wedding dates, 2 for moving house and 2 for opening a business. 6 of the 30 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 September 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?
White Dew	白露	8 Sep 2027, 04:28	Yes — the Rooster month 己酉 begins
Autumn Equinox	秋分	23 Sep 2027, 14:01	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 2027-09-07 are counted from the Monkey month 戊申, the rest from the Rooster month 己酉.

The best dates in September 2027

Wedding — 2 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
2027-09-06 Mon	Month 8 · day 6	戊子	定 Stable (Ding)	Horse
2027-09-23 Thu	Month 8 · day 23	乙巳	成 Success (Cheng)	Pig

Moving house — 2 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
2027-09-06 Mon	Month 8 · day 6	戊子	定 Stable (Ding)	Horse
2027-09-23 Thu	Month 8 · day 23	乙巳	成 Success (Cheng)	Pig

Business opening — 2 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
2027-09-11 Sat	Month 8 · day 11	癸巳	成 Success (Cheng)	Pig
2027-09-23 Thu	Month 8 · day 23	乙巳	成 Success (Cheng)	Pig

Days to take slowly in September 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.

6 of the 30 days in September 2027.
Date	Day pillar	Day Officer	Why it is on this list
2027-09-07 Tue	己丑	执 Initiate (Zhi)	Year Breaker — clashes with the year branch
2027-09-09 Thu	辛卯	破 Destruction (Po)	Destruction officer
2027-09-10 Fri	壬辰	危 Danger (Wei)	Danger officer
2027-09-19 Sun	辛丑	定 Stable (Ding)	Year Breaker — clashes with the year branch
2027-09-21 Tue	癸卯	破 Destruction (Po)	Destruction officer
2027-09-22 Wed	甲辰	危 Danger (Wei)	Danger officer

The twelve signs in September 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 2027-09-07 · Monkey month 戊申	From 2027-09-08 · Rooster month 己酉
Rat	Favourable — Three Harmony 三合	Caution — Destruction 六破
Ox	Steady — None	Favourable — Three Harmony 三合
Tiger	Caution — Clash 六冲 + Punishment 三刑	Steady — None
Rabbit	Steady — None	Caution — Clash 六冲
Dragon	Favourable — Three Harmony 三合	Favourable — Six Harmony 六合
Snake	Caution — Six Harmony 六合 + Punishment 三刑 + Destruction 六破	Favourable — Three Harmony 三合
Horse	Steady — None	Steady — None
Goat	Steady — None	Steady — None
Monkey	Steady — Same branch 同	Steady — None
Rooster	Steady — None	Caution — Self-punishment 自刑
Dog	Steady — None	Caution — Harm 六害
Pig	Caution — Harm 六害	Steady — None

Frequently asked questions

How many auspicious days does the Chinese almanac give for September 2027?: 2 wedding dates, 2 for moving house and 2 for opening a business — 6 entries across the three events, out of 30 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 Mid-Autumn Festival in 2027 and what does the almanac say about that day?: Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋节) falls on 15 September 2027, month 8 · day 15 in the lunar calendar. The almanac gives that day the pillar 丁酉 and the Day Officer 建 Establish (Jian); it clashes with the Rabbit. It does not pass the strict filter for a wedding, a move or a business opening — festivals are family occasions, and the almanac rates them on their own pillar like any other day.
Why is 22 September 2027 excluded even though its Day Officer looks fine?: It is a four-separation day (四离四绝): the day immediately before Autumn Equinox (秋分), which arrives on 23 Sep 2027, 14:01 (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. September 2027 has one such day, and it is this filter — not the Day Officer — that keeps it out of the three lists above.
