The original verse and its meaning
- 六馬交馳 男兒得意
Six horses run together in harmony, and a man attains his ambition. - 勤學成功 平生財豐
Learning diligently you achieve merit, so your wealth is ample all your life. - 人間所得 謀事屬屬
There is gain among people, so your plans follow one after another. - 瑞日光陰 牛眠盛草
In years of auspicious sunlight, the ox lies in a lush pasture.
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 diligence bears fruit. You work hard at learning and achieve merit, so your wealth is ample for life. You gain much from your relationships with people, and you're at ease like an ox lying in a meadow under an auspicious sun.
This is a year when diligence bears fruit. The six horses of the first line are many forces running in one direction, so your endeavors mesh together and achieve your aims. As in the second line, what you learn and master becomes lifelong wealth, so it's good to devote yourself to study and self-improvement. The third line means you gain much through people. Good connections link your plans one after another. The ox and pasture of the fourth line are an ample, peaceful daily life. In the second lunar month you win fame and honor, and in the fifth lunar month you follow the new and find benefit away from home. In the eighth lunar month the virtue you've built returns as blessings as great as a mountain, and in the tenth lunar month honor follows. Walk steadily without major misfortune and you'll be secure all year.
A word from Master Tojeong
“Six horses run together, so it is a year of attaining your ambition. Never cease learning and build virtue like a mountain. Then you will be at peace, like an ox lying in the pasture.”

The nine readings by area (money, love, work, health and more) and the long monthly readings open in the Tojeong Bigyeol app once you find your own hexagram.
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.
By the formula, nobody receives this hexagram in 2027. Lunar month lengths and cycles change each year, so it does turn up in other years. For example, someone born on lunar 6/1/1991 receives this hexagram in 2028.
