Born on November 1

The pattern of your day

Born on November 1, strangers hand you confessions, and Scorpio water becomes a repository that nobody has ever thought to empty.

Strangers tell you things. Not small things either. You have been given confessions on trains, at parties, in the twenty minutes before a meeting starts, by people who then look faintly startled at themselves.

Something in your face reports two facts at once: that you will not be shocked, and that you will not repeat it. Both happen to be true, which is why the mechanism keeps working.

What nobody has thought about is that a repository never gets emptied. You know things about people that they have half forgotten telling you. You have carried a few of them for a decade. Occasionally you meet someone at a wedding and can see, in perfect detail, the worst thing they have ever done, while making conversation about the seating.

Nobody asked whether you wanted any of it. The transaction only has a giver.

Where this goes wrong is not indiscretion. It is that you have come to believe holding things is simply what you are for, and so you have never once put anything down or handed anything on.

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.
