The original verse and its meaning
- 萬物化生 陰陽和合
All things are born and grow, and yin and yang harmonize with each other. - 嫩柳小織 日漸生光
Tender willows sprout as if finely woven, adding light day by day. - 恩人扶助 廣置田庄
A benefactor holds you up and helps, so you secure fields and a home far and wide. - 只依無何 非我無功
Yet had you been alone with nowhere to lean, there would have been no merit of mine.
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 everything comes into harmony. You grow little by little, as a tender willow gains more color each day. A benefactor helps you expand your fields and home, so don't forget it's thanks not only to your own strength but to those who stood with you.
This is a year when everything grows in harmony. As in the first line, yin and yang harmonize, so people and work, mind and body move in step with each other. The tender willow of the second line means not overnight success but growth that adds a little light each day. The benefactor of the third line is a grateful connection you're sure to meet this year. With that help, your household and base may expand. The fourth line is a reminder that the credit isn't yours alone. In the third, fifth and sixth lunar months, trouble may arise in joint ventures, urgent matters or long trips. But from the seventh lunar month the reward for your patience appears. As year's end approaches, celebrations overlap at home and your name becomes known far and wide.
A word from Master Tojeong
“Yin and yang are in harmony, so it is a year when all things grow. If you have taken a benefactor's hand, do not forget their merit. There is no flower that blooms by itself alone.”

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 8/4/1984 receives this hexagram in 2027.
