Where can I find the Chinese five element calendar?

[Patrick_ChineseForum]

Hi,

Recently I've become interested in Chinese astrology. One of the components needed is the old Chinese lunar calendar that has the five elements: fire, metal, wood, water, and earth, score for each day. I've been Google searching for such calendar for days. No luck so far. It doesn't have to be a physical calendar. It could be a digital format (pdf) or how to create my own calendar or a program that can display the five elements for multi-days/months/years. The closest application I've found online is as follow:

http://www.fortuneangel.com/5EDate.htm

The page receives an input date and display the five elements for that date. However it can only do one day per input and it only goes as far as 2011... Please help.

Thanks,

Patrick

You can get those "peel a day off every day" calendars from Taobao. But instead of a Far Side cartoon, they have all that Chinese astrological data.

drencrom, thank you for the info and link. My Chinese is pretty weak. I can't tell which sections are the Chinese astrological data. Can you circle the astrological parts from the attachment? I'll look up the Chinese characters afterward. Thank you.

It's right in the middle of the bottom left vertical lettering. On the first day of the example pictures, it's 火 (fire) and on the second day it's 木 (wood).

金、木、水、火、土 will be the only characters you probably need to find, and they will be in that box on every page, presumably.
