Unlock the Secrets of the 60-Year  Calendar

Comprehensive Reference for Everyone Interested  in Five Element Theory

The Chinese Sexagenary Calendar: A Complete Reference for Yun Qi, Heavenly Stems & Earthly Branches — 1924 to 2104 Spanning nearly two centuries of cyclical time, this comprehensive reference chart decodes the full structure of the traditional Chinese sexagenary (60-year) calendar across 180 years — from 1924 through 2104. Rooted in the ancient cosmological system of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches (Ganzhi), each year is mapped with precision through four essential layers of classical Chinese metaphysics and medical cosmology. What's Included for Every Year: Yun Qi  — The annual Five Movements and Six Qi cycle governing the energetic character of each year, drawn from the foundational principles of classical Chinese medicine and the Huangdi Neijing Heavenly Stem  — One of the ten celestial stems that determines the Yang or Yin quality and elemental nature of the year Earthly Branch  — One of the twelve terrestrial branches, corresponding to the familiar animal signs and their deeper cosmological associations Climatic Qi of the First Half-Year  — The "Governing Heaven" qi that rules the first six months, shaping the predominant climatic and physiological influences Climatic Qi of the Second Half-Year  — The "At the Fountain" qi that governs the latter half of the year, completing the annual energetic picture Ideal For: Acupuncturists, East Asian astrologers, Feng Shui consultants, scholars of East Asian cosmology, and anyone working within systems that require understanding the yearly Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch relationship and influence. Whether you are calculating constitutional tendencies, planning clinical treatment strategies by season, or tracing the deeper cyclical patterns embedded in Chinese cosmology and philosophy, this chart offers an authoritative, at-a-glance reference for a lifetime of practice. Why This Resource Stands Apart: Rather than limiting coverage to a single 60-year cycle, this document stretches across three full cycles — capturing both historical years for retrospective analysis and future years through 2104 for long-range planning. The inclusion of the climactic Qi for each year makes this especially valuable for practitioners of classical Yun Qi theory, in which the biannual shift in governing qi is fundamental to understanding seasonal pathology and treatment principles. An indispensable reference for any student or practitioner of Chinese classical thought.
