Your star, and this month's good directions
From these two stars, we look at which directions are good to head toward.
…
Why these directions are good
For months with no good direction, the original Unsei Hiroku also writes 「吉方なし」 (“no lucky direction”) in the month heading. Stated in the original

……
Big plans such as a move or a long trip can be timed to a matching month. Members can see that month's directions, and the days when all three agree, ahead of time in the calendar.
See the matching months in the next 12 monthsThe original teaches that “the month matters more than the day, and the year more than the month.” For big plans such as a move, think in terms of directions that are good both this year and this month.

In the original, the day board carries the least weight. For big plans, think with this month's and this year's boards.
The original has no table for the day board. The center star follows the rule of Eto Kyūsei Urū Kaisetsu, and the surrounding stars follow the order in Kaisei Hōi Meikan, original p. 48.

Detailed chapter Sample
How to spend this month (11/7 – 12/7)
This text is a sample: an example for someone born on 1984/8/20, for November 2026. It was not written from your result.
This is a month when a lucky star comes to the East on both the year board and the month board. The Six White Metal Star in the East of the month board is “Kindred Ki” for you as a Seven Red Metal Star. The original explains this as joy that comes from close ties with people in the same position as you.
For work and money, it reads as a time to turn your promises with the people you are working with now into reality one by one, rather than branching out into something new. Errands that take you to the East, if you fit them into this month, also overlap with the Nourishing Ki of the year board.
For home and travel, the original Unsei Hiroku says this about trips:
- The rest of how to spend this monthHome and travel / relationships / your health, in the order Unsei Hiroku uses
- Good directions for the next 12 monthsFor you, the year and month agree 3 times in the next 12 months
- How to plan a move or a temporary stayThe original's method of moving to a lucky direction, and how to count the 45 days
- Your family's stars and shared directionsThe original teaches choosing by 「本人並に家族の吉方位」 (“the lucky directions of yourself and your family”)
