Born on January 19

The pattern of your day

January 19 usually falls to Capricorn earth, though not in every year, and it carries both the institution builder and the outsider.

The sun is moving at very nearly its fastest of the whole year. Earth passes closest to it in the first days of January and is travelling quickest then, so the sun appears to sweep along at its maximum rate: a stretch of sky it takes thirty-one days to cross in July it crosses in about twenty-nine and a half now. Northern winter is the shortest of the four seasons for this reason.

Which means the crossing you were born beside comes through at speed. Some years this date is still held by the earth sign. Others have already let it go.

So you have the builder and the outsider in one person, both undiluted. One of them takes the institution seriously. The other cannot quite believe in it.

You have sat on committees you found faintly absurd and served them well anyway. You have upheld a rule you would abolish given the chance. Colleagues who think you are a company person and colleagues who think you are a subversive have both watched you closely and reached opposite conclusions.

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.
