The original verse and its meaning
- 東風和暢 春花富貴
The east wind blows warmly, so you are rich and noble like spring flowers. - 梅得雪月 琢石得玉
The plum blossom gains snow and moon, and polishing stone you gain jade. - 花爛春城 萬化方暢
Flowers bloom in profusion in the spring city and all things are just now blossoming. - 聲聞高閣 喜事滿庭
Your name is heard in the lofty pavilion and joyful things fill the courtyard.
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 plentiful, radiant year. Your efforts become treasure, like plum blossoms gaining snow and moon or stone polished into jade. Flowers burst across the spring city and all things bloom, your name is heard in high pavilions and joyful events fill your home.
This is a year when an ample, bright energy surrounds you like a spring breeze. The first line, the east wind blowing warmly, means blocked matters loosen gently and wealth and honor bloom like flowers. The plum blossom gaining snow and moon means one who kept their grace amid hardship sees the light, and polishing stone to gain jade is a promise that devoted effort becomes a treasure. As in the line about flowers blooming in profusion in the spring city, work, relationships and home all flourish evenly. The last line, your name heard in the lofty pavilion, means honor and recognition follow and joyful things fill your home. In the first, fourth through sixth, ninth and twelfth lunar months money and celebrations overlap and there's much to smile about. But in the eleventh lunar month you may get caught up in legal trouble or arguments, so hold back your words and be careful. Share your abundance and its blessings will stay longer.
A word from Master Tojeong
“The east wind blows and spring flowers bloom, so this is a year when your wealth and honor bloom too. Gain jade with the devotion of one who polishes stone. Joys last long only when shared with your neighbors.”

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 1/7/1991 receives this hexagram in 2027.
