Born on August 10

The pattern of your day

August 10 does the grand gesture superbly, though nobody was ever made to feel loved by an anniversary, however good the restaurant.

Fireworks are expensive, brief, and universally judged worth it, which is a strange economy that nobody argues with.

You are willing to spend disproportionately on moments. A dinner, a trip, a gesture that made no financial sense whatsoever: you have repeatedly chosen the version that will be remembered over the version that was sensible, and you are unrepentant about nearly all of it.

Fire in the middle of August believes in occasion. It is why other people's best memories tend to include you, and why your bank balance has never accurately reflected your income.

Where it becomes a problem is when the occasion substitutes for the ordinary thing. A spectacular birthday does not repair a year of not calling, and you have used the big gesture to settle a debt that was accruing in small increments.

Nobody has ever felt loved by an anniversary alone, however good the restaurant happened to be.

The daily version is harder for you. It is also the one that counts.

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.
