This year's Chinese lunar calendar 'wrongly calculated'

Chinese calendar 'wrongly calculated'

Online news:

A feng shui master says the days in the 2013 print edition of Chinese calendars being used nationwide were wrongly calculated, causing a chain-reaction mess in planning and scheduling auspicious events and religious rituals over a 30 day period, the Thai Rath online edition reported on Wednesday.

The Thai Rath report quoted Thanakorn Tan-arwatchanakarn as saying that the miscalculations were found in the number of days in the fourth and fifth Chinese lunar months – between June 8 and July 8 in the standard Thai calendar.

The fourth month was supposed to have 30 days, but instead it had 29 days in the current Chinese lunar calendar, and there should be 29 days in the fifth month, but it instead had 30 days.

Oh horror of horrors, I may have the wrong string color on those days. I may as well commit suicide! Utter nonsense!

This is a disaster.

I am friends with a couple who managed to plan their pregnancy so that she would give birth on the most auspicious day of June. They are now beside themselves with anguish.

Fortunately they have a distant cousin in Duluth Minnesota who is willing to board them until she gives birth, and where apparently, there is not a Chinese calendar in the whole city.

We are all praying that this turn of events will not affect their child's future. I have advised them it would be better, until Cites leaves town, not to mention the specifics of the precautions being taken.
