An almanac describes traditional day-types. It cannot decide health, money, law, marriage or children. Burial, marriage and medical items on these pages are what a book states, never advice.
In the classical sources
奎居其旁則取狼為狗之類以配之
奎 lies alongside, and so it takes the wolf, a kind of dog, as its match.

About this entry
Opening the second 元, 奎 is where 甲子 falls sixty days after the round starts at 虛. 協紀辨方書 卷一 assigns it the wolf, as kin to the dog of the 戌 palace, which it shares with 婁.
Wood, says 星厯考原 卷五, along with 井, 角 and 斗, and modern charts equate wood with Thursday. Its place is between 壁 and 婁. The English name Legs follows modern usage; the 史記律書 passage quoted in 卷一 glosses 奎 as presiding over venom and the killing of things.
