Born on April 12

The pattern of your day

April 12 amplifies rather than originates, which is real work, though Aries fire keeps pumping air at fires that went out long ago.

A bellows adds nothing to a fire except air, and it is the whole difference between an ember and a working flame.

You are that for other people. Your actual contribution is frequently just attention: you get interested in what somebody is doing, you ask the question that assumes they will succeed, and the thing quietly doubles in size. Half the people in your life have attempted something because you took it seriously before it deserved to be.

Born under fire in the middle of April, you amplify rather than originate, and you have sometimes mistaken that for not having work of your own. It is its own work, and rarer than the originating kind.

Watch that a bellows aimed at a fire already out achieves nothing but noise. Some people want your enthusiasm with no intention of doing anything, and you will keep pumping for years.

The date gives the air. Your year gives the fire, worked out here below.

What is a Birth Hexagram?

Your Birth Hexagram Triad is three things at once: a Primary Hexagram (who you are), a Changing Line (your growth edge), and a Resultant Hexagram (who you are becoming). It is computed, not guessed, from the Chinese lunar calendar via the Plum Blossom method.
