“Understanding myself through the five elements. Today's fortune is what I create.”
The five elements consisting of wood (목), fire (화), earth (토), metal (금), and water (수) are important principles in Tongyang philosophy that explain human beings and nature. While a person's tendencies cannot be simply categorized into just five types, the five elements symbolize the energy that constitutes all things, allowing for the analysis of an individual's temperament and fortune. A deep understanding of the five elements can provide clearer insights into the world, including oneself. Today's fortune serves as a guide for the day I create, rather than merely a prediction. I hope it becomes a starting point for making better decisions.
Today is the 4th of the 乙巳 year (Eulsan year), the 5th of the 戊寅 month (Muin month), and the 5th of the 戊辰 day (Mujin day). It is a day where the energy of earth (토) plays a central role. The stable nature of 무토 (Muto) is emphasized. However, the 인목 (Inmok) of the month and the 을목 (Eulmok) of the year overcome the earth (토). There will be external events that will color a stable day. How these are utilized and prevented will determine today's fortune.
Below are today's fortunes by each element.
● Wood (목) element today's fortune, “A day facing a wall.”
You may think you can handle it by your own strength, but it will be a day when you face walls in various situations. Whether it's wanting to buy something but being unable to afford it due to high prices, or meeting someone with whom communication is difficult, it all counts. If you push through to the end, you will eventually find a way, so don't easily get discouraged and give up.
It is a structure where many woods (목) find growth difficult. This is because the 무진일 (Mujin) of 무토 (Muto) tightly grips the roots of wood (목) and hinders growth. The humid nature of 진토 (Jin-to) can make wood (목) heavy and slow its pace. However, just as a tree cannot grow without a foundation, the solid wall that is hard to penetrate will later serve as a strong foundation.
● Fire (화) element today's fortune, “A sluggish day.”
You may want to increase your momentum, but your surroundings may not support you as much as you hope. With an ambiguous flow that seems like it might pick up speed but doesn’t, you could feel frustrated. However, if you force it, the situation will worsen, so it is important to watch the situation and seize the appropriate moment. In the afternoon, there is a high possibility of small achievements, so it's crucial to manage your energy to avoid getting too worn out from the start.
On a day when earth (토) energy is strong, fire (화) may find it hard to maintain vitality. While 무토 (Muto) can stabilize the flame, excessive earth can weaken the energy of fire (화), and the humid nature of 진토 (Jin-to) can scatter the energy of fire (화), making sustained concentration difficult. Therefore, rather than forcefully pushing, it is best to nurture the flame slowly while controlling the timing.
● Earth (토) element today's fortune, “Let’s find those who helped us yesterday!”
It’s a day when you must wrap up long-standing concerns. Since it can be hard to find solutions on your own today, there is a high possibility that those around you will provide decisive hints. Especially experiences and networks accumulated over time may offer unexpected help. If you've seen yesterday's fortune, you may have saved up considerable support. I hope to use it to safely get through today.
As today is a day where 무토 (Muto) and 진토 (Jin-to) overlap, there is a flow of strong internal cohesion acting for earth (토) signs. When earth (토) overlaps, it is stable, but at the same time, there may be a tendency to be insensitive to changes and become rigid in thoughts. With a collision occurring with the 월지 인목 (Inmok), the changes in external environments are likely to flow in a way that eventually benefits the earth (토) signs.
● Metal (금) element today's fortune, “Should I? Shouldn’t I? It’s better to just do it...”
Today is a day where judgment and decisiveness are important. You might find yourself pondering from the morning about whether to do this or not, but hesitation can lead to missing the timing. Especially when many opinions arise from those around you, it may be challenging to find clarity, but trusting your intuition and making a decision is the right answer. If you hesitate, you might incur a loss, so being bold today will lead to a favorable day.
On a day when earth (토) energy nourishes metal (금), earth (토) is the source that nurtures metal (금), but too much earth could dull the essential sharpness of metal. Additionally, the 인목 (Inmok) of the month may exert its overcoming influence on metal, possibly disrupting or confusing the decisions of those with metal signs. Therefore, today it is best not to be swayed by your surroundings but to trust your judgment and push forward.
● Water (수) element today's fortune, “Even if I stay still, a day when I am sought after.”
Today is a day when you become the center naturally, even by being quiet. There may be a chaotic atmosphere due to unresolved issues around you, and people are likely to seek the water (수) sign for solutions. You might end up taking on unexpected roles, such as hearing someone say, “You know this well!” However, instead of overexerting yourself to help, it is important to protect yourself while managing the flow. It will be a day requiring wisdom and a sense of balance to sort out situations.
Today is a day in which water (수) plays a role in balancing out strong earth (토) currents.
The combination of 무토 (Muto) and 진토 (Jin-to) can create a situation where excessive earth (토) accumulates, leading to a stagnant flow. However, the water (수) sign can ensure that earth (토) exists with an appropriate weight, facilitating smoother movement. Particularly, 진토 (Jin-to) retains water (수) energy, so depending on the situation, water (수) may exercise its influence effectively. Today has a high possibility of being the most brilliant day when water (수) stabilizes and manages the surroundings.
