Tong Shu 2009

Even when i was a very young kid, my grandmother would hold on to the Tong Shu (Chinese Almanac) for just about everything. Yes.. !! i mean everything… even to washing her hair. Some days it is not good to wash one’s hair, so she said. So what is this Tong Shu.. i hear you asking..?? it is the bible of those practicing feng shui or otherwise. The Chinese used it for centuries and it is being used as a guide for selecting the “good” dates for very important occassion or activiites.
Never had my grandmother not consult this Tong Shu to plan for anything concerning the family especially a wedding. Definitely a no-no to have a wedding on a bad day.. and if they couple ever divorce, they would blame it on the dates. How true is it..?? Is it superstition..?? I don’t think so.. like i said. .feng shui is about practicality, feng shui is about .. your environment .. the good chi and the bad ones. So why not right..?? even if it was for a peace of mind.. i would. In a good Tong Shui book.. not necessary written in chinese these days.. English ones are also available. And a good tong Shu book, you find a daily guide to good and not so good days for certain activities and event.

I want to find an english vertion on the Tong Shu. no just for the almanac dates (some Joey Yap have a short vertion of the tong shu. I notice there´s some diferences in several books about the poem of the Yellow Emperor. some say the position in the emperor depend on the hour, and some on the year of birth. ¿do you know wich one is correct?
