The original verse and its meaning
- 二月桃李 逢時爛熳
The peach and plum blossoms of the second lunar month meet their season and bloom in full profusion. - 公見君子 金盤堆果
A noble person meets a man of virtue, and fruit piles high on a golden tray. - 披雲見月 太陽照會
Parting the clouds you see the moon, and the sun shines as all gathers in. - 缺月重圓 一新鏡面
The waning moon grows round again, and the face of the mirror is made new.
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 do meets its season and blooms wide open. You meet a person of noble character and are treated with honor, like fruit piled on a golden tray. Blockages clear, like parting the clouds to see the moon, and you regain what you lost, as a waning moon grows round again.
This is an auspicious year when your work meets its season and bursts into bloom. The first line, the second lunar month's peach blossoms meeting their time, means the moment has come for what you've been preparing to flower. As in the line about meeting a person of virtue and fruit piling up on a golden tray, you'll connect with good people and gain both honored treatment and real results. Parting the clouds to see the moon means hidden problems are resolved and the road ahead becomes clear. The last line, the waning moon growing round again, is welcome news that you'll regain something lost or mend a relationship that had drifted apart. From the first lunar month, money and energy are bright, and in the fourth and eighth lunar months you'll achieve big things with a benefactor's help. But in the fifth lunar month, starting something new or doing money deals with strangers could cost you, so play it safe for that one month only. Happy events continue through autumn and winter too, and it's a year where sharing the blessings you receive makes them bloom even bigger.
A word from Master Tojeong
“A flower that meets its season blooms without holding back. This year it is your turn to bloom, so unfold yourself fully. Only, for the fifth lunar month, do not slacken the reins.”

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 8/1/1986 receives this hexagram in 2027.
