Born on July 22

The pattern of your day

July 22 crosses from water to fire depending on the year, carrying a fully developed private apparatus beside an equally complete public one.

You were born on the crossing from water to fire, and which side you landed on is decided by your year rather than by the date.

The sun leaves the water sign and enters the fire sign around the twenty-second and twenty-third of July, and it does not make the move at the same moment every year. Many years put this date on the water side. A good number do not.

What that produces is a person carrying both the private apparatus and the public one, fully developed, with no clear instruction about which to use. You can hold a room and you can vanish from one, and both are genuine capacities rather than moods.

People consistently meet one and are startled by the other. You have been called intensely private by somebody who had only ever seen you perform, and a showman by somebody who had only ever seen you at home. Both were describing something real and neither had the whole of it.

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.
