The original verse and its meaning
- 渴龍飮水 以洛蒼生
The thirsty dragon drinks water, and with that water it moistens the people. - 欲見前程 李下接桃
Wishing to see the days ahead, you graft a peach onto the plum tree. - 春風再發 慶事盈門
The spring breeze rises again, and joy fills your door. - 白手成家 致庭更期
With bare hands you build a household, and you look forward once more to the day you will complete your garden.
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 long-awaited matters work out and benefit those around you too. New combinations bring good results, like grafting a peach onto a plum tree. The spring breeze blows again, celebrations fill your door, and you build up your household with your bare hands.
This is a year when long-awaited matters are resolved and the blessings spread to those around you. The first verse, about the thirsty dragon drinking water and moistening the people, means that as your thirst is quenched, those around you benefit together. Grafting a peach onto a plum tree speaks of different things meeting to bear new fruit, so new cooperation or unions brighten the days ahead. As in the third verse, where the spring breeze rises again and joy fills your door, an opportunity that seemed to have passed comes around again. The last verse says you build a household with bare hands, so even with little, you can establish a great foundation through effort. It's a good year with lucky months continuing from the first through the fifth, and the ninth through the eleventh. But in the sixth month there are disputes and losses, so be careful with words and money. Go forward giving and sharing, and joy will fill your home.
A word from Master Tojeong
“It is a year when the thirsty dragon finds water and moistens even the people. Though your hands be bare, diligence builds a house; only refrain from quarrels in the sixth month.”

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 3/2/1987 receives this hexagram in 2027.
