Born on April 17

The pattern of your day

Born on April 17, you see your own signal and not your own heat, so Aries fire should check whether the thing runs without you.

Smoke is the part of a fire visible from furthest away and the part containing the least heat.

You have a complicated relationship with that. You are good at the visible layer, genuinely good, and you carry a private worry that the visible layer is all anybody is responding to. Most effective and well regarded people suspect this at some point. In your case it recurs.

Fire late in Aries produces a great deal of signal. The honest answer is that the heat is also there, and the reason you cannot see it is that you are standing inside it with nothing to compare against.

What helps is not reassurance, which you discount on arrival. It is checking whether the thing you built still works when you are not in the room. Yours does.

The visibility is the date's. The substance under it is a matter of your year, set out immediately 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.
