The original verse and its meaning

1. 玉兎向東 淸光可挹
   The jade rabbit faces east, and its clear light is bright enough to scoop up in your hands.

   A bluebird comes and goes, warbling welcome news.
3. 佳曲滿扇 鳴琴柳影
   Beautiful songs fill the fan, and a zither sounds beneath the willow's shade.
4. 雛鶯出谷 反是黃金
   The oriole chick leaves the valley and instead shines with golden 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 the news and connections you've been waiting for arrive. Bluebirds come and go carrying welcome news, and it's as merry as the sound of a zither in the shade of the willows. You grow greatly, like a young oriole leaving the valley and turning golden.

This is a clear, welcome year when news and connections you've been waiting for arrive. The jade rabbit facing east with clear light worth scooping up in the first verse means a newly rising energy has come close enough to grasp. The bluebird coming and going in the second verse is a symbol of welcome letters and news, so good answers may come from matters or people you've been waiting to hear from. The songs filling the fan and the zither beneath the willow shade in the third verse mean festive, elegant times will increase. The last verse's words about the oriole chick leaving the valley and becoming golden mean that what was still young and clumsy grows greatly and shines. In the first month there's a marriage or a happy event for children, and in midsummer and early winter money and work unravel refreshingly. But in late spring, early summer, and autumn you need to be careful of long trips, places near water, and quarrels, so keep within your means then. If you gather small things while thinking of the distant future, your household will rise greatly, as dust becomes a mountain.

A word from Master Tojeong

“The jade rabbit faces east, so its clear light is within reach of your hand. Even a small oriole turns golden once it leaves the valley, so look far and go step by step.”

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 1/7/1987 receives this hexagram in 2027.
