Born on May 21

The pattern of your day

The year has usually turned to Gemini air by May 21, producing an interpreter everybody consults and nobody asks for an opinion.

By the twenty-first the year has usually turned to air, though not in every year and not at the same hour.

Depending on when you were born, your reading can sit on either side of that crossing, and the two sides are not close. Earth holds. Air moves, connects, and refuses to settle. This date has a legitimate claim on both.

What it gives you is an unusual translation ability. You can explain the patient people to the quick ones and the quick people to the patient ones, and you get asked to do it constantly, in families and at work, by people with no idea that they are asking.

The cost of being the interpreter is that nobody ever asks what you think, only what the other person meant.

Which side the crossing put you on is a matter of the year rather than the date, and it is worked out directly beneath this.

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.
