You need to find out your Five Elements first from Chinese Fortune Calendar. Usually, the elements with a lower score (weight) are your lucky elements. The elements with too much weight are your unlucky elements. Anything in your lucky element's column in the chart will bring you luck. Anything in your unlucky element's column's will give you trouble.
If your five-elements lack Water, you will be lucky in the winter (cold weather). You will have better luck if you wear black. You will have more luck at night than during the day. You will be lucky in the Years of Pig and Rat, the Months of Pig and Rat (November and December), and the Days of Pig and Rat. You should go to the beach or ski often. You should drink more water or other cold drinks...
If your five-elements have too much Fire, you will be less lucky in the summer. You shouldn't wear red. You won't be lucky in the Years of the Horse or Snake. You should avoid hot and spicy food...
Good luck means wedding, engagement, new job, promotion, easy money, new baby, new house...
Bad luck means divorce, separation, traffic tickets, accidents, lawsuits, news of family death, money losses, bad health...
To find your good/bad years look for the five element's weight of years. If there is a year with your lucky element, which has more than a score of 30, it can be considered as a good year. If a year shows your unlucky element, it might be a bad year.
