Born on January 20

The pattern of your day

In most years January 20 has crossed into Aquarius air, producing a reformer who knows exactly how the machine actually works.

In the large majority of years the air sign has taken this date by the twentieth, but the boundary is moving quickly through here and your particular year decides it rather than the number on the calendar.

What alters across that line is what a structure is for. On one side it is a thing to be maintained, because it took a long time to build and the people inside it are relying on it. On the other it is a hypothesis somebody proposed once and everybody forgot to re-examine.

You hold both, which makes you the most dangerous kind of reformer, and I mean that as a description rather than a warning.

You know how the machine actually works. You have done the unglamorous jobs inside it. So when you say a thing should be dismantled, you cannot be dismissed as somebody who does not understand what they are proposing to break, which is how every other critic gets handled.

The cost is that neither side fully trusts you, and both are right not to.

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.
