Born on October 12

The pattern of your day

October 12 finds the settlement both sides can bear, though Libra air should check whether one of them was simply right.

A settlement that leaves everybody satisfied is not a settlement. It is a coincidence, and it means the interests were never really opposed to begin with.

You can find the version two sides will both accept. You do it by locating what each of them actually needs underneath what they are demanding, which is different, and then constructing something that pays the need and disappoints the demand. Both parties walk away a little short. Both of them blame you slightly for it. The thing holds anyway.

Water and fire seasons produce partisans. This stretch of the year produces the person in the middle of the table.

The limitation is one you already know and generally refuse to look at. Not every dispute has a middle worth finding. Sometimes one side is simply right, and the compromise you engineer takes something real from them and hands it to somebody who had no claim on it at all.

Splitting the difference is a method, not a morality. Before you reach for it, check whether this is a negotiation or whether it is a wrong, because those two things call for opposite instincts.

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.
