Born on March 21

The pattern of your day

By March 21 the year has almost always decided on Aries fire, which is a talent for starting that undervalues itself because starting feels easy.

Yesterday the year was still deciding. Today, almost always, it has decided.

You are born just past the tipping point, when the light takes the lead and does not hand it back until midsummer. The sign has changed hands by now, in nearly every year, and fire is almost certainly your element: after three weeks of water, a real change of register, less absorbing and more igniting.

You start things. That is not a small talent, and you are inclined to undervalue it because starting comes so easily to you that it does not register as work. It is worth counting how many things exist in your life only because you were willing to be the first person to say them out loud.

The other side of it is familiar to you. Fire needs feeding, and something lit in March can be cold by May if nobody, yourself included, kept putting wood on it.

Where that beginning actually points depends on the year you arrived in. Run it below.

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.
