Born on July 5

The pattern of your day

Born on July 5, the dry season is when submerged things can finally be dealt with, and Cancer water mostly waits for rain instead.

In a dry summer the water level falls and things come back: a wall, a bridge, sometimes the foundations of a village that was flooded on purpose decades ago and everyone had agreed to stop mentioning.

Your low periods do that. When you are depleted the old structures surface, and things you thought were long settled turn out to have been underwater rather than gone. It is disconcerting, and it is also the only time you can see them clearly.

Cancer in the first week of July stores rather than erases. Nothing in you is actually deleted, which is why your memory is so long and your forgiveness so slow to finish.

The useful reframe is that a dry season is the only chance to do any work on those foundations. Underwater they are unreachable. Exposed, they can finally be looked at, and occasionally taken apart.

It is grim work and there is no good season for it, which is precisely why the dry one has to serve.

Most people waste the drought waiting for the rain.

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.
