The original verse and its meaning
- 馳馬長安 得意春風
Galloping your horse through Chang'an, you achieve your aim in the spring breeze. - 水旺金塘 翠滿銅山
Water swells in the golden pond, and green fills the copper mountain. - 雕樑畫閣 一身安過
In a hall of carved beams and painted towers, you live in comfort. - 氣凌彭澤 淵明何如
Your spirit surpasses Pengze — what would even Tao Yuanming be beside you?
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 what you hoped for comes true and your momentum rises. Wealth is plentiful, like water warming a golden pond and a copper mountain turning green. You live at ease in a pavilion of painted beams, enjoying a leisure that wouldn't envy even the poet Tao Yuanming.
This is a year when what you hoped for comes true and your momentum rises. The first verse, about galloping through Chang'an and achieving your aim in the spring breeze, depicts unfolding your skills on a big stage and being recognized. The verse about water overflowing the golden pond and the copper mountain growing green means wealth and vitality are both plentiful. As in the third verse about living comfortably in a painted tower, your living place and daily life stabilize. The last verse speaks of a spirit greater than the leisure Tao Yuanming enjoyed after giving up office, so it's a year when you can keep peace of mind even amid busy success. From the sixth through eighth months, and in the twelfth, benefactors and money come in together. But in the fifth month quarrels easily damage your money and reputation, and in the ninth month there's loss on long trips, so just be careful those two months. Keep within your means and enjoy yourself, and great fortune will last long.
A word from Master Tojeong
“It is a year of galloping through Chang'an and achieving your aim in the spring breeze. Only refrain from quarrels and long journeys; keep within your measure and dwell at ease, and great fortune shall follow.”

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 3/5/1987 receives this hexagram in 2027.
