Born on November 17

The pattern of your day

Born on November 17, a settled ending costs you far less than an open question, so Scorpio water closes things at seventy percent.

The first hard frost settles the question. Everything that was going to die this year dies in one night, and the long ambiguity of late autumn, where a few things are still just about managing, comes to an end.

You prefer this. You have always preferred a decided ending to an undecided continuation, and you have been told more than once that the preference is cold.

It is not cold. Ambiguity costs you more than loss does. You can carry a thing that is over. What you cannot carry is a thing that is seventy percent working, which requires you to keep assessing it daily and never gives you a verdict.

So you end things at seventy percent. Jobs, friendships, projects that were not failing. You call it clarity and it usually is.

But some of what looks finished in November is dormant, and dormancy and death present identically at this time of year. You have pulled up a few things that would have come back, and by the time you could have known that, there was nothing left in the ground to check.

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.
