Born on May 11

The pattern of your day

Born on May 11, you root the new thing before cutting the old, and Taurus earth stays attached long after rooting is complete.

There is a way of making a new plant that involves cutting nothing. You bend a living branch down until it touches soil, hold it there, and wait for it to root while it is still attached to the parent.

You start things that way. You have almost never made a clean break: the new job overlapped the old one, the new city kept the old flat for a year, the new version of you stayed connected to the previous one until it could stand alone.

Taurus in mid-May does not sever. It has made your transitions unusually safe and unusually slow, and it means there are very few burned bridges anywhere behind you.

The cost is that some things genuinely need cutting. Staying attached to a parent situation past the point of rooting keeps the new growth smaller than it should be, indefinitely.

The method is the date's. The timing is your year's, and it resolves in the numbers 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.
