The original verse and its meaning
- 方病大瘇 扁鵲誰醫
A great boil has formed — who could treat it, even the famous physician Bian Que? - 地神弄動 家宅不常
The energy of the land is shaken, so the household is never at peace. - 一方久隨 水火一驚
Following one side for a long time, you are greatly startled once by water and fire. - 白玉無點 有財反凶
Though you are pure as flawless white jade, having wealth becomes a worry instead.
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 to look after both your body and your household. The earth's energy is unsettled and your home may feel chaotic, so put your bedroom and household in order. Be careful with water and fire, and since even wealth can turn into worry, like a flawless jade, ease off on greed.
This is a year to look after both your body and your household. The great boil of the first verse warns that long-neglected problems easily grow, so tending to them while they're small matters most. The shaken energy of the land in the second verse means your home easily becomes chaotic and household matters scattered, so start by tidying your bedroom and living space. The third verse says you may be startled by something unexpected after clinging to just one way of doing things. Look after everyday safety — water and fire, meaning fire and flood, electricity and gas. The last verse teaches that even someone with a pure heart has worries when greed for money creeps in. This year, protecting is a blessing rather than increasing. In the fifth, eighth, and twelfth months there's an energy that lets you breathe, so wait carefully and you'll get through the year.
A word from Master Tojeong
“Though white jade be flawless, when greed creeps in, worry arises. Treat small ailments while they are small, keep your household in order, and await the time.”
Month by month (summary)
Only a short note and the original verse for each month. Dates are the 2027 lunar months.
- Lunar month 1Feb 7 – Mar 7Care
The first month of the new year is a month when things are chaotic inside and outside the home and words fly easily. Even if a quarrel arises, don't let it grow — step back.
基地發動 必有口舌 若無損財 疾苦不離 · The energy of your home site stirs so there is gossip; if you do not lose wealth, illness will not leave.
- Lunar month 2Mar 8 – Apr 6Care
There may be someone with a different heart among those you work with this month. For important decisions, listen to many, but do the final check yourself.
三人之中 一人不良 經營之事 如成不成 · Of three people, one is not good, so the business you manage seems about to succeed and then does not.
- Lunar month 3Apr 7 – May 5Even
Opportunity has come, but you're not quite ready to use it this month. Prepare the tools, funds, and documents you need in advance.
飢者得飯 無匙何食 月移西窓 怪夢頻數 · The hungry one obtains rice but has no spoon — how can he eat? The moon moves to the western window, and strange dreams are frequent.
- Lunar month 4May 6 – Jun 4Even
This is a month to keep up what you've been doing rather than starting something new.
守舊安常 勿營他事 月入黑雲 不見其光 · Keep to the old and maintain the usual, and do not plan other things; the moon goes into dark clouds and its light cannot be seen.

This is the month when things go most smoothly all year. Someone from the southeast becomes a strength for you, so welcome them warmly.

- Lunar month 6Jul 4 – Aug 1Even
Even with people close to you, hearts don't connect well this month. They may smile on the outside but feel differently inside, so don't rush to trust or feel hurt.
對面語 心隔千山 六七月數 百事有魔 · Though you speak face to face, your hearts are a thousand mountains apart; in the sixth and seventh months, demonic obstacles creep into all affairs.
- Lunar month 7Aug 2 – Aug 31Care
It's a frustrating month with the way ahead blocked. Laying hands on small immediate gains now easily makes you lose something bigger.

- Lunar month 8Sep 1 – Sep 29Even
The frustrations of recent times gradually ease this month. It's not big money, but small income is as welcome as sweet rain.

- Lunar month 11Nov 28 – Dec 27Even
Listening much, thinking much, and enduring much is this month's wisdom. The profit before your eyes is sweet, but there may be aftereffects.
一年之數 都在三多 目前之利 勸君勿取 · The fortune of the whole year depends on the three abundances; I urge you not to take the profit before your eyes.
- Lunar month 12Dec 28 – Jan 26, 2028Even
At the end of what seemed like wasted effort, unexpected money comes in this month. Even if your efforts don't show results right away, don't lose heart.
此月之數 炊沙成飯 偶然之財 意外入門 · This month it seems like cooking rice from sand, yet chance wealth unexpectedly comes through your door.

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 8/4/1988 receives this hexagram in 2027.
