Born on October 31

The pattern of your day

October 31 does its growing underground, and Scorpio water needs somebody permitted to ask whether the silence is fallow or something worse.

By the last day of October the visible year is finished. What is left above ground is stalk and husk, and none of the work is up there any more. It went down. Roots put on a good deal of their growth in the cold, in the dark, at exactly the point where the plant appears to have given up.

You do this. Your most productive stretches look, from outside and sometimes from inside, like nothing at all. You go quiet, you stop producing, you decline things, and eight months later something arrives fully formed and everyone assumes it was sudden.

The final water days of the month belong to work that cannot be watched.

Here is the caution and it is a real one. Dormancy and depression can look very alike from the inside at first. Both are quiet, both refuse invitations, both feel from the inside like a necessary withdrawal.

The resemblance is easy to lean on. A bad stretch can be called a fallow period because that reading is more flattering and requires nothing. Have one person who is allowed to ask which it is, and answer them honestly.

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.
