The pattern of your day

September 22 sits on the equinox where scrutiny hands over to fairness, usually though not always, and it examines and weighs at once.

Balance is not a place. It is a moment a moving system passes through, and the reason it feels significant is that it does not last.

Your birthday is the day the year passes through it. On or about the equinox, light and dark come out level and then keep going, into the half of the year where the dark has the advantage. In many years the sign has already changed by now, from the one that examines to the one that weighs. In plenty of others it has not.

So you got the last of the scrutiny and the first of the fairness, and they are not the same instinct. Examining asks whether a thing is any good. Weighing asks what it is good relative to, and the second question is considerably harder to stop asking once it has started.

You are the person who cannot enjoy a verdict until you have heard the other side, including in arguments where you were plainly the wronged party.

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.
