“Knowing the five elements helps understand myself. 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 humans and nature. While a person's tendencies cannot be divided into just five categories, the five elements symbolize the energy that forms the foundation of all things, allowing for the analysis of individual temperament and fortune. A deep understanding of the five elements will lead to clearer insights about oneself and the world. Today's fortune is not a mere prediction but a guideline for the day that I create. I hope it serves as a starting point for making better decisions.
Today is the year of Eulsa (乙巳年), the month of Gimyos (己卯月), and the day of Gapsul (甲戌日). Gapsok (甲木) is floating above Sult (戌土). While there is a desire to take root, the energy of the hot Sult and the energy of Sahwa (巳火) are draining the energy instead. As a result, the wood (목) that doesn't rest is consumed and may be unable to find a place, resulting in a wasted day. To safely navigate today, one needs to utilize the metal (금) inherent in Sult (戌土). This means that a firm resolve and decision are necessary to find a breakthrough.
Below are today's fortunes by element.
● Today's fortune for wood (목), “Finding a place to fully lean on.”
It's a day when emotional exhaustion and fatigue make you long for a place to rest completely. For those with strong yang energy who gain energy from interactions, today is a day when they miss people, while those with strong yin energy who recover energy during quiet alone time need a comfortable space. It's important to create an environment where you can fully let go and rest throughout the day.
Gapsok (甲木) will gain strength from Myo (己卯月) but will find it difficult to utilize that strength today. This is because today is dominated by strong wood (목) and the hot fire (화) that utilizes it. Of course, wood (목) will endure some sacrifices, but ultimately, being human, the need for a place to rest does not change.
● Today's fortune for fire (화), “When whales fight, the shrimp’s back breaks.”
It's a day where you could face wrongful situations. Be especially cautious of slander and lawsuits today. What might seem unfair to you is not your fault. Many times, the shrimp suffers when whales fight, so avoid going near trouble. Today is a day when you could be disliked by others, so it's better to spend more time alone.
Fire (화) excessively uses wood (목), hindering safe rooting in earth (토). Just as a flower needs sunshine to survive, too much sunlight can dry it out. Especially since there is no water (수) in today’s fortune, people may experience frustration. As someone with fire (화) energy, today is a day you could easily be blamed for this, so it's advisable to spend more time alone.
● Today's fortune for earth (토), “Focusing more on the evening than the morning.”
Today, spend the morning modestly and the evening splendidly. There may not be any problems that require you to take action, but while going through the day, you might think, 'If not me, then who?' and end up with tasks that need to be addressed. Engaging in tasks that are not strictly necessary can lead to considerable fatigue. Start the day peacefully, and in the evening, ensure you unwind extravagantly.
Sult (戌土) provides overall stability as a location of fire (화) for earth (토) but the incessant infiltration of Gapsok (甲木), which cannot find a place in Sult (戌土), can be burdensome today. Fortunately, the energy of earth (토) is not weak enough to suffer direct damage, but the day could become rather bland.
● Today's fortune for metal (금), “A day of contentment in small things.”
Today's fortune is good. However, it will be hard to turn it into a substantial gain, and it will likely return as minor benefits. Provided you do not become overly greedy, you can enjoy a pleasant day amid the small gains. But be cautious not to become complacent with the minor benefits. Keep in mind that today's gains are a form of reward.
Sult (戌土), being a season in itself, is metal (금); thus, today is a day for those with metal (금) energy to gain the energy needed to prove their existence. With plenty of earth (토) energy flowing in, you can fully receive the benefits of the soil generating metal (토생금) structure. However, Sult (戌土) does produce fire (화) energy, making it difficult to translate that into large gains.
● Today's fortune for water (수), “You are the person they have been waiting for.”
Today is a day when someone has been waiting for you. It could be a romantic partner, family member, colleague, or potentially all of them. Spend the day actively and busily. Everything you do can yield significant returns. While it's good to flow flexibly, at times, it’s also the role of those with water (수) energy to charge ahead strongly.
Today, there is a significant shortage of water (수) energy. In the hot and dry conditions of today, water (수) is one of the essential elements. Everything, including people and tasks, will revolve around those with water (수) energy and require it. Of course, this structure can make the water (수) individual a bit tired. But does it matter if you can definitely gain something? If you can gain, hesitation in taking action may vanish.
