"Understanding the five elements means understanding myself. Today's fortune is created by me."
The five elements, composed of wood (목), fire (화), earth (토), metal (금), and water (수), are important principles that explain humans and nature in Tongyang philosophy. While a person's tendencies cannot be simply categorized into just five types, the five elements symbolize the fundamental energies of all things, allowing for analysis of individual temperament and fortune. By deeply understanding the five elements, insights about the world, including oneself, will become clearer. Today's fortune is not just a simple prediction but a guideline for a day I create. It is hoped that this will be a starting point for making better decisions.
Today is the 4th day of the Year of the Wood Snake (을사년), Month of the Earth Rabbit (기묘월), and Day of the Wood Pig (을해일). The Wood (을목) is positioned over the Water (해수), receiving the nourishment of the deep and wide waters, allowing it to expand infinitely. It is a day when a strong flow of Wood (목) is formed in harmony with the Earth Rabbit of the Month. However, the hidden Metal (경금), stimulated by the Earth (기토) of the month and the Fire (사화) of the Year of the Wood Snake, may pose subtle obstacles. While various attempts are favored today, it could also be a day of frustration if there is no energy to overcome these subtle hindrances.
Below are today's fortunes by each of the five elements.
● Wood (목) element today's fortune, "Which wind will blow?"
It is a day when a new path becomes visible, making you feel that this was your path all along. Today is a good day to try new investments, hobbies, meetings, and skills. However, since it is not a direction you have solidly prepared for, the execution process may not be easy. Check whether you are being pushed by the pressure of those around you rather than your own choices.
The Wood Pig (을해) creates a favorable water nourishing wood (수생목) structure, maximizing the growth potential of Wood (목) today. While the Earth (기토) can impede the infinite expansion of Wood (목), it does not have a significant impact. However, the Water (해수) acts not merely as simple Water (수) but plays a role in attracting the Wood (을목) positioned on the day, meaning it tends to flow in a specific direction rather than freely. Ultimately, it is a day to ponder 'where should I expand?' rather than simply expanding without direction.
● Fire (화) element today's fortune, "Heat lasts longer than light."
Be careful not to lose important items or have accidents. Those who are not planful may forget important tasks, so it is advisable to meticulously manage your schedule today. While spending the day actively is good, if you only rush ahead, trouble is bound to occur. You should dedicate this day to a gentle burn rather than a bright light.
With strong Wood (목) energy today in the Year, Month, and Day, the Fire (화) that benefits from the growth of Wood (목) also gains strong energy. Since there is ample energy today, you might feel less fatigue and be in good condition. However, today is dominated by Yin (음) energy, and Water (수) plays a formative role in extending the influence of Wood (목). It indicates that it is more advantageous to use energy subtly rather than pushing ahead.
● Earth (토) element today's fortune, "The wind is blocked, but the water is not."
Please maintain an appropriate distance from those around you. It is not a day to try to be a good person to everyone. Organizing your surroundings will also be helpful. It is good to discard unnecessary items and keep those you need. Choosing what to discard and what to keep is crucial today.
From the Earth (토) perspective, today is a day where the 'expansion of Wood (목) and the erosion of Water (수)' act simultaneously. The Water (해수) may erode the Earth, but the Wood (을목) rather emphasizes the presence and role of the Earth. It is the Earth (토) element's survival method today to actively decide which energy to support based on the foundation of Earth (기토).
● Metal (금) element today's fortune, "It's okay to say you're struggling."
If today feels overly exhausting and difficult, it's a day when it's okay to tell those around you that you are struggling. One cannot always be perfect and precise. Mental stress is likely to be significant today. Even if it's the same tasks as yesterday, they may be two to three times harder to handle. If you expect a busy day, make sure to prepare for hobbies or relaxation time in the evening to relieve stress.
The Wood Pig (을해일) brings a considerable alien energy for Metal (금). The Water (해수) refines Metal but simultaneously demands excessive changes, and the Wood (을목) also provides assistance while simultaneously being an energy that burdens Metal (금). The Earth (기토) supports Metal, but if the balance with Water (수) is not right, that support may also be difficult. In short, today, Metal (금) is surrounded by elements that can increase stress.
● Water (수) element today's fortune, "Individual or group?"
Today is a day when you may frequently face the question of whether to prioritize individual gains or the growth of the group. Even in trivial matters, such as ordering lunch, you will need to consider whether to choose what you want or what most people prefer. Today provides enough strength to pursue your desired direction, but making too personal choices can easily label you as selfish.
Although today is strong in Water (수) energy, it operates not as a simple flow but as a 'source of vitality that maximizes the growth of Wood (목).' In other words, today's Water does not lead but rather reinforces external elements, which can lead to a structure that constantly exhausts your energy. The Water (해수) has the power to push through, which can lead to personal achievement but can also pull in those around you.
