Born on August 20

The pattern of your day

August 20 passes every signal onward within the hour, and Leo fire should pause occasionally over the ones that were meant for it.

A beacon is lit so the next hill can light theirs, and the message crosses a country in an hour without a single person carrying it further than they can see.

You pass things on. Attention, opportunity, credit, the name of somebody who ought to be hired: your instinct on receiving something good is to work out who else should have it, and you do this so automatically that you have never counted it as generosity.

Fire near the close of August relays rather than accumulates. It is why your reputation runs ahead of your actual record, and why people you barely remember speak well of you.

The one thing to watch is that a relay keeps nothing. You have handed on opportunities you were entitled to take, on a reflex that fired before you had evaluated anything.

There is a difference between generosity and an inability to be given anything.

Some of them were meant for you. Pausing before passing is not selfishness.

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.
