The original verse and its meaning
- 靑鳥傳信 鰥者得配
A bluebird brings welcome news, and one who lived alone finds a mate. - 一年之榮 三日可知
Fortune blossoms so quickly that a year's glory shows within three days. - 卦得生氣 死地求生
The hexagram has gained a living energy, so even in the place of death you find a way to live. - 金星來照 光彩百倍
The Venus star comes to shine on you, and your light and radiance increase a hundredfold.
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 welcome news you've been waiting for arrives. Things move fast enough that a whole year's glory shows within three days. Like finding a way to live in a place of death, you seize opportunity amid crisis, and a precious star shines on you, multiplying your light a hundredfold.
This is a bright year when long-awaited welcome news arrives. As the first verse says the bluebird brings news, the contact or results you've been waiting for from afar finally reach you. It says one who lived alone finds a mate, so luck with connections and partners also opens warmly. The second verse means things move quickly, so it's important not to hesitate when a good opportunity comes. The living energy of the third verse is this reading's power. Even in moments that look like dead ends there's a hidden exit, so don't give up. Finally, Venus shining on you means your talents and efforts catch others' eyes and shine many times over. But in spring, autumn, and at year's end you'll need to watch your words and keep track of your belongings, so just look after those few months and the year will be bright.
A word from Master Tojeong
“The bluebird has come to your door, so do not turn away the happy news. Even in a year when your light grows a hundredfold, the one who guards their mouth laughs to the end.”

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 3/5/1988 receives this hexagram in 2027.
