The original verse and its meaning
- 草綠江邊 郁郁靑靑
By the blue river, the grass grows lush and deep green. - 和氣到門 豈不美哉
A harmonious energy arrives at the door — how could it not be beautiful? - 相生相應 名振四海
Giving life to one another and answering one another, your name resounds throughout the world. - 一身光輝 去舊生新
Light shines from your whole body; the old departs and the new is born.
The verses follow the public-domain Tojeong Bigyeol held by the National Library of Korea; the meanings are Luna Alley's own retelling.
The year ahead
This is a year when gentle energy enters your home. Connections that help each other form, and your name becomes widely known. Clear out the old and welcome the new, and your health and work will shine together.
This is a year brimming with vitality, like grass growing thick on the banks of a blue river. Just as grass grows where the river never runs dry, effort that flows steadily returns as an abundant harvest. A harmonious energy comes right up to your door, so your home is peaceful and laughter never ends. As the verse about giving life to and answering one another says, people mesh well together, and your name becomes widely known through shared work. Light shining from your whole body as the old departs and the new is born means that the more you clear out old habits and burdens, the more new opportunities come in. In spring and summer, money, honor, and happy events come evenly, and in autumn you'll enjoy a clear blessing of the heart while staying at home. In the ninth lunar month, though, cut back on going out. It's a year when what you give comes back, so if you live building up virtue, those blessings will last a long time.
A word from Master Tojeong
“The grass by the river is green, and so shall your year be green. Cast off the old and build up virtue, my friend, and its light shall reach the whole world.”

Who gets this hexagram?
The hexagram depends on your lunar birth date and the year being read. The upper number comes from your Korean age that year plus the year's taese number, the middle from the length and month number of your birth month that year, and the lower from your birth day plus the day number. So the same person gets a different hexagram each year.
For example, someone born on lunar 5/1/1990 receives this hexagram in 2027.
