Taurus season - the earth sign of the western zodiac
The pattern of your day
Born on May 9, the real response arrives hours after the first one, so Taurus earth should buy itself a day every time.
A stone that has been in the sun all day is still warm at midnight. It gives back slowly, hours after the source has gone.
That is your emotional timing, and it has confused people. You are not visibly moved in the moment. You are moved later, sometimes days later, with an intensity nobody witnessing the original event would have predicted. You have been called cold by people who left before the heat arrived.
Taurus in the second week of May stores rather than reflects. It makes you extremely reliable over long periods and quite hard to read over short ones.
The practical consequence is that you should not trust your first response to anything significant. It is not your real one. Buy yourself the day, every time, and let the warmth arrive on its own schedule.
Delay is what the date supplies. Everything more specific than that waits on the year you were born, and the table below has it.

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.
