Gemini season - the air sign of the western zodiac
The pattern of your day
May 23 thinks in intervals rather than notes, which makes Gemini air a fine explainer and vulnerable to any well-built analogy.
Music is not made of notes. It is made of the distances between them, which is why the same two notes mean something different depending on what came before.
You think in relations rather than in things. Told a fact, you immediately want the fact standing next to it. Given a person, you understand them mainly through the others they are standing between. Isolated information is nearly useless to you, and you have failed tests because of it.
Air at the start of Gemini works in intervals. It has made you an excellent explainer, since an explanation is entirely a matter of what you place something beside.
The weakness is that you can be talked into almost anything by a well-arranged comparison, including by yourself. A good analogy gets past your defences where an argument would not.
The habit of thinking in intervals arrives with the date. What you have spent your life measuring between is your year's answer, and it is set out 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.
