Born on May 2

The pattern of your day

May 2 grows in every direction at once, so Taurus earth resists summary and sometimes reaches autumn unsure what any of it was for.

An uncut meadow in May is doing something a lawn cannot. Dozens of species at different heights, none of them managed, the whole thing richer than anything anybody planted in rows.

You have a similar tolerance for mess. Your life contains things that do not obviously go together, friends from incompatible worlds, interests nobody can connect, and you have never felt much pull to tidy any of it into a theme.

Earth early in May is abundant rather than orderly. It gives you range, and it gives you a certain resistance to being summarised, which frustrates anyone who would like a simpler version of you to describe to others.

The cost is that untended abundance is hard to steer. Some years you have grown in every direction at once and arrived in autumn unsure what any of it had been for.

Set your birth year against that below and it becomes considerably more specific.

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.
