Born on February 17

The pattern of your day

February 17 owns as little as possible, because Aquarius air experiences every object as an unserviced obligation rather than a possession.

Things you own feel like things you are responsible for, so you own as little as possible.

You would rather borrow it, share it, rent it or do without it. A large purchase produces a low grade unease that has nothing to do with the money and everything to do with the fact that the object now requires storing, maintaining, insuring and eventually disposing of, and all of that is a claim on future attention.

People read this as thrift, or as principle, and it is neither.

It is that ownership is a relationship and you already have as many of those as you can service. Everything you acquire is a small permanent obligation, and you can feel the accumulated weight of them in a way most people apparently cannot.

The last of the February air travels light on purpose.

Where it goes wrong is the things worth the weight. You have declined to own the instrument, the tools, the place, on grounds that were really about obligation, and some of those were not obligations. They were equipment for a life you said you wanted.

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.
