Born on April 20

The pattern of your day

April 20 has generally, not invariably, crossed into Taurus earth, producing somebody who begins things and is still there in year four.

By the twentieth of April the year has usually, though not always, changed element. Fire hands over to earth, and the difference is not subtle: from the thing that starts to the thing that holds.

Depending on your year you were born just before that handover or just after it, so your reading can land in either register. Most years put this date on the earth side of it.

Either way, what you get is an uncommon combination. You have enough fire behind you to begin things and enough ground beneath you to still be present in year four, when beginning is no longer interesting. Very few people carry both, and those who do are routinely underestimated by both camps.

You will have been called too slow by quick people and too restless by careful ones, sometimes in the same week.

The hinge is what the date gives you. Which side you fall on is your year's answer, and the calculation is directly beneath.

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.
