From the classics

孤鸾寡鹊煞。古歌曰：木火逢蛇大不祥，金猪何必强猖狂；土猴木虎夫何在，时对孤鸾舞一场。乃乙巳、丁巳、辛亥、戊申、甲寅，又丙午、戊午、壬子等日。男克妻，女克夫。

——《三命通会》

What it means

Guluan (孤鸾) is the spirit of marital solitude and harm, governing man harming wife and woman harming husband, separation of spouses or the loss of a spouse in middle life. The old verse says, 'one who meets a Guluan day is essentially childless'; men and women who meet it both walk a rough road in love, and even with offspring they are hard to raise—late marriage or a secondary union can ease it somewhat.
