Born on October 17

The pattern of your day

Born on October 17, you price other people accurately and yourself low, and Libra air calls that reasonable rather than costly.

Price and worth are two different measurements, and almost every argument about money is really an argument about which of them is being discussed.

You have an unusually good instinct for worth. You can tell when something is underpriced, when a person is being paid less than they are producing, when a deal that looks generous is not. Friends bring you their negotiations. You are calm about theirs and you are right.

Your own is a different matter entirely.

Naming what you are worth requires you to state a comparison out loud with yourself on one side of it, and the machinery that works so smoothly for other people jams completely when you are the object being weighed. So you quote low. You call it being reasonable. Occasionally you call it modesty.

It is neither. A price is information, and the information you are transmitting is a claim about your own value that other people will believe, because why would they not. You taught them the number. They had nothing else to go on.

Ask what you would advise a friend with your exact record to ask for. Then ask for that.

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.
