Born on May 17

The pattern of your day

Born on May 17, the light gives you extra rooms, which Taurus earth surrenders first and misses months later from the corridor.

By the middle of May the evening stops ending. Light holds past the hour anybody expected it to, and the day quietly acquires several extra rooms.

You are at your best in that stretched time. Not the morning, whatever you have told employers, and not the productive middle of the day. The part afterwards, when the obligation is finished and there is still light, is where most of what actually matters to you has happened.

Earth in mid-May extends rather than accelerates. It is why you resist being rushed, and why you need the unclaimed hours more than you need the efficient ones.

The difficulty is that these hours are the first thing any demanding period takes. You will surrender the extra rooms without negotiating and notice months later that you have been living in the corridor.

The date supplies the extra hours. What you filled them with is your year's answer rather than the day's, and it is calculated in full 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.
