Born on January 9

The pattern of your day

January 9 is Capricorn earth in concentration, which everybody around you misreads as unhappiness, so you spend the day reassuring them.

People keep asking whether you are all right. You were fine. You were thinking about something.

Your face at rest reports a mood you are not having, and you have spent years reassuring other people about a state of mind that was never present in the first place. It has happened in meetings, at parties, across dinner tables, with strangers on public transport who felt moved to check.

Two costs come out of this. Only the first is obvious.

The obvious one is the maintenance. You perform a low grade cheerfulness that nobody else in the room has to generate, all day, as a service to observers.

The second is worse and you may not have noticed it. When you genuinely are not all right, there is no signal available. The channel is already saturated. You look exactly as you look on an ordinary Tuesday when you are absorbed in something interesting.

You have carried real trouble through entire rooms of people who would have helped, undetected, without concealing anything at all.

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.
