Born on December 23

The pattern of your day

Born on December 23, you run a clock nobody around you is running, and Capricorn earth must survive an unreassurable middle decade.

You are running a clock that nobody around you is running.

For a long stretch this makes you look slow. People who started when you started are visibly ahead, with the title and the house and the thing to announce, and you have watched all of it without saying anything, because explaining a ten-year plan to somebody in year three sounds exactly like an excuse.

Then the compounding becomes visible and you stop looking slow and start looking inevitable, and it happens fast enough that observers assume something fortunate occurred.

Nothing fortunate occurred. You were simply solvent in a currency they were not counting.

What nobody warns you about is the middle. The middle is genuinely hard, and it is unreassurable, because the only evidence that a long plan works arrives at the end of it and you are being asked to hold the thing on faith for about a decade with no interim confirmation available.

You can do that. It is worth knowing precisely what is being asked of you, though. It is not patience. Patience is waiting for something you know is coming.

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.
