The original verse and its meaning
- 虎榜鷹搭 威名咸振
Your name is entered in the tiger's chamber and you soar high like a hawk, so your majestic name resounds everywhere. - 日麗中天 金玉滿堂
The sun shines in the middle of the sky, and gold and jade fill your house. - 相生相應 名振海隅
Giving life to one another and answering one another, your name resounds to the ends of the sea. - 和氣方濃 顯高名利
Harmony is just now at its richest, so a lofty name and profit come to light.
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 your name and influence spread in all directions. The sun shines at the center of the sky and gold and jade fill your home. As people help and answer one another, your name becomes known to the ends of the sea, and with harmonious energy running deep, you gain a high name and profit.
This is a year when your name and influence resound in all directions. The first verse, about entering your name in the tiger's chamber and soaring like a hawk, means getting ahead in competition and having your skills recognized. As the verse says the sun shines at midsky and gold and jade fill your house, your luck rises to its highest point and your household becomes abundant too. The third verse, about giving life to and answering one another, says your name spreads far not because you're special on your own but through give-and-take with those around you. The rich harmony of the last verse means a warm atmosphere draws in a lofty name and profit, so the warmth with which you treat people is itself a skill. The fifth and sixth months, and the eighth through tenth, are especially bright. In the third and seventh months joy and worry mix and success and failure alternate, so be selective about what you listen to. The higher your influence, the more gently you should act, and it will be auspicious to the end.
A word from Master Tojeong
“The sun climbs to the middle of the sky, so it is a year when your name resounds to the ends of the sea. The higher you rise, the lower you should bow your head, for harmony deepens through humility.”

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 1/7/1988 receives this hexagram in 2027.
