The pattern of your day

April 16 lights other flames at no cost to itself, but Aries fire confuses undiminished with infinite and never asks for anything back.

The useful thing about fire is that giving it away costs nothing. One flame lights another and the first is not diminished by a single degree.

You have known this instinctively your whole life, which is why you are unguarded with what other people hoard: contacts, methods, the actual reason something worked. You have watched people build careers on things you handed over in a twenty minute conversation and felt, mostly, fine about it.

Aries in the second half of April propagates rather than concentrates. It has made you influential in a diffuse way that is almost impossible to point at on a CV.

The caveat is that undiminished is not the same as infinite. Your time is finite even where your generosity is not, and the twenty minute conversation has a weekly limit.

You have also never quite learned to ask for anything back, which is a separate problem and an older one. Propagation is the date's gift. Your year sets its reach, and the specifics are computed beneath 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.
