Born on April 13

The pattern of your day

Born on April 13, what you say is what there is, and Aries fire pulls the shadow off people who were simply not ready.

At the top of the day in mid-April, shadows are shorter than they have been since last summer. There is very little for anything to hide behind.

You prefer it that way. You have almost no capacity for a situation with an unspoken layer, and you will surface whatever everyone is politely ignoring, usually about ninety seconds before anyone was ready. Some experience this as courage and some as a failure of manners. Both groups are describing the same sentence.

April's fire at this stage is direct rather than subtle. It has made you trustworthy in a very literal sense: what you say is what there is.

The blind spot is assuming that anyone hiding something is being dishonest. Sometimes a person is simply not ready, and pulling the shadow off them early is not the favour it feels like from where you stand.

Directness belongs to the date. What you aim it at is your year's business, calculated directly under this.

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.
