“Understanding myself starts with knowing the five elements. Today's fortune is what I create.”
The five elements, consisting of wood (木), fire (火), earth (土), metal (金), and water (水), are important principles in Tongyang philosophy that explain humans and nature. While it is not possible to categorize a person's traits into just five types, the five elements symbolize the energy that makes up everything, through which one can analyze an individual's temperament and fortune. By deeply understanding the five elements, insights into the world, including oneself, will become clearer. Today's fortune is not just a simple prediction but a guide for how I will shape my day. It is hoped that this will serve as a starting point for making better decisions.
Today is the year of Eulsa (乙巳年), month of Gyeongin (戊寅月), and day of Jeongsa (丁巳日).
Today is a day when strong fire (火) energy enters during a period dominated by Eulmok (乙木) and Inmok (寅木). Unlike the hectic days before, certain outstanding aspects will become apparent today. The key today is who will cleverly seize the opportunity first.
Below is today's fortune by each of the five elements.
● Today's fortune for wood (木) element, “The result is as if you cooked rice to feed a dog.”
You may suffer from others taking away the results or merits of your hard work today. If you have something to achieve, it's advisable to manage it well to prevent it from being taken away by others. The proverb “The result is as if you cooked rice to feed a dog” fits well today. If you play a role in helping others, it may be fine, but if you are in a position where you need to produce results, this may be frustrating.
The yin heavenly stem Jeonghwa (丁火) is warm energy, but when it meets Sahwa (巳火), it can sustain and create power with that warmth. To bring out substantial benefits, it actively embraces the birth of wood (木). Since the energy of wood (木) is already abundant today, it is important to use your energy wisely to avoid being drained in vain.
● Today's fortune for fire (火) element, “Stress from excessive competition.”
Today is a day when you will feel stress, big or small, from excessive competition. You may encounter competitors who threaten your position in the workplace or in peer evaluations, and even in very trivial matters or ordinary relationships, you may feel competitiveness. For example, while standing to catch a taxi, it's likely that someone 50 meters ahead will catch it first.
The fire (火) element has strong independence as it possesses abundant energy on its own. Today could be a day when the similarly strong energy of Jeongsa (丁巳) may cause friction. At the same time, two flames cannot burn together. Whether you will dominate or be dominated is up to you, so do your best in everything.
● Today's fortune for earth (土) element, “Endurance with the character for patience three times...”
You may be someone who is usually good at enduring, but today will be really difficult to endure compared to usual. Particularly, it may be a day filled with conflicts in relationships with family, friends, and colleagues. It has been said that enduring with the character for patience three times can prevent severe outcomes. Those who manage to endure today will ultimately be the winners.
Although the earth (土) element receives the strong energy generated by Jeongsa (丁巳), the metal (金) that should bear fruit is not revealed today. It is like blooming flowers without bearing fruit. The impatient fire (火) may provoke the earth (土) today, but ultimately the role of earth (土) is to regulate this and patiently pass it on to metal (金).
● Today's fortune for metal (金) element, “A day for those with low self-esteem.”
Today is a good day for those who struggle with low self-esteem to replenish their self-worth and confidence. There will be numerous opportunities to help you grow to another level. It is important to use sharp judgment to seize what is needed today. Even if it's not something you're used to, it's necessary to accept it flexibly.
The drop in self-esteem for metal (金) arises from the pressure to become a valuable person or the feeling of defeat today for not being able to do so. However, if you cannot break through the seed and grow, you cannot bear fruit either. If you use the abilities of metal (金) well, you can attract the energy of Jeongsa (丁巳) to yourself.
● Today's fortune for water (水) element
While it was said that today would reveal outstanding aspects and be a fruitful day, everything has its order. In that order, you are the last person today. Even if you try to catch up with others late, you will only gain an empty shell remaining. Instead of following others, spend the day focusing on your own substantiation.
The action of water (水) eliminates the practicality of Jeongsa (丁巳). Although it may seem to flare up brilliantly, it ultimately loses all its heat. For waters that have been in prolonged stagnation, this may still provide some help. However, for those who need practicality, it will be a somewhat futile day.
