Born on January 2

The pattern of your day

January 2 is Capricorn, earth, and it runs two sets of books, one for everybody else and a harsher one for you.

You keep two sets of books and only one of them is fair.

A friend does exactly the thing you did last month and you find it entirely forgivable, obviously so, barely worth discussing. You do it and it goes into the file as evidence, and the file is long, and nothing has ever been removed from it.

You would call that standard abusive if you watched anybody apply it to a person you loved.

That sentence is the whole finding and it is worth sitting with before you move past it, because you will want to move past it quickly.

The test is simple and you can run it today. Take the thing you say to yourself, in the words you actually use, and ask whether you would say it out loud to another adult in those exact words about that exact failure.

If you would not, then you have not been holding a high standard. You have been running a grievance with excellent posture, and the two are almost impossible to tell apart from inside because they produce the same behaviour and one of them sounds like virtue.

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.
