Born on August 17

The pattern of your day

Born on August 17, the season is measured in February by what survives, and Leo fire never chooses which fragments people keep.

The measure of a summer is not taken in August. It is taken in February, by how much of it a person can still call up.

You are stored by people. They carry a version of you into their difficult months and it does actual work there, and almost none of them will ever tell you, because it sounds excessive said out loud.

Leo late in August is remembered disproportionately. Whatever you believe your effect to be, it is larger and considerably more durable, and you underestimate it consistently because you only ever see the moment and never the storage.

This ought to change how you weigh your ordinary conduct. You are not being judged on your best day. You are being kept, in fragments, by people whose worst days you will never witness.

The fragments people keep are almost never the ones you would have chosen for them.

Be careless about a great many things. Be careful about that.

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.
