“Understanding the five elements helps understand myself. Today's fortune is what I create.”
The five elements, consisting of wood (木), fire (火), earth (土), metal (金), and water (水), are an important principle in Tongyang philosophy that explains humans and nature. Although a person's tendencies cannot be simply categorized into just five types, the five elements symbolize the energy that constitutes all things, through which one can analyze an individual's temperament and fortune. If one deeply understands the five elements, insights about the world, including oneself, will become clearer. Today's fortune is not just a simple prediction but serves as a guideline for the day I am creating. I hope this can be a starting point for making better decisions.
Today is the year of the Eulsa (乙巳年), the month of the Gimyos (己卯月), and the day of the Gyeysa (癸巳日). The Gyeysa (癸巳日) is a day where water (水) and fire (火) are in conflict, but rather than being a hindrance, it can be seen as a test for each other. The mental stress is greater than the overt conflicts, and the lack of metal (金) energy may lead to an inability to find solutions. There may be changes in relationships due to emotional ties or the possibility of new collaborations, so it would be good to be prepared.
Below are today's fortunes for each of the five elements.
● Today's fortune for the wood (木) element, “Do not be discouraged.”
Although the stage is set, gaining the initiative is not easy. Especially if sufficient groundwork has not been prepared, you could lose even the initiative you held. Those who were close to you, or even complete strangers, could put you at risk, so it is necessary to carefully monitor your surroundings.
Today is a day to stop the excessive accumulation of wood (木). The month of Myo (卯月) already has strong wood (木) energy, and with additional supply from water (癸水), it expands even more. The fire (巳火) struggles to control it due to the additional supply of water (癸水). Although there is an opportunity for growth, it appears uncontrolled.
● Today's fortune for the fire (火) element, “I am not the main character.”
Though you may think you are the main character, the stage will actually be taken by others. From the morning, the atmosphere builds, and you gain attention, but often at crucial moments, you do not shine. Situations like “I prepared everything, so why am I being overshadowed at the last moment?” are likely to occur. If you aren't the main character anyway, there's no need to exert yourself too much.
While the month of Myo (卯月) nourishes fire (火), the subtle relationship between water (癸水) and fire (巳火) significantly impacts today. Although fire (巳火) works well with this element, if it acts as a harmful influence, it can scatter your energy. Simply put, the reason the fire (火) struggles to shine today is due to the dispersion and suppression of energy.
● Today's fortune for the earth (土) element, “Aim for a comeback.”
Today, my values may be shaken by the differing arguments presented by those around me. There is a high possibility that someone will try to sway your decisions or demand unnecessary persuasion. Staying silent may lead to losses, but at the same time, it would be awkward to confront the situation directly, so it is advantageous to hold off until a decisive moment to resolve everything at once.
As the foundation of earth (土) shakes, the wood (木) that relies on it from the month of Myo (卯月) also loses its direction. This is because the fire (巳火), which should help the earth (土), cannot perform its role properly due to colliding with water (癸水). Instead of recklessly confronting the situation, it is necessary to read the flow and regain balance at critical moments.
● Today's fortune for the metal (金) element, “Do not despair too much.”
Facing the reality that your own logic and worldview may be incorrect is always difficult. Especially for metal (金), which values principles, this can be hard to accept. At times, it may lead to sharp rebellion. Stubbornness tends to isolate you. Accept humbly, but there is no need to despair too greatly.
The metal (金), which has been honed by fire (巳火), appears to be used by water (癸水), but many variables prevent the logic and principles of metal (金) from applying today. In such cases, adapting to the changed circumstances can be a good way to achieve results.
● Today's fortune for the water (水) element, “Cherish those around you.”
You may feel pressure from your responsibilities, but an unexpected ally will show up to provide a breakthrough. As a water (水) individual, you must wisely coordinate conflicts to achieve realistic results. Do not forget the importance of people.
Today, it is challenging for water (水) to control its own flow. This is due to the structure of fire (巳火) continuing to apply pressure. The wood (卯木) offers vitality to water (水), but it can also stir up emotions more. Today, water (水) must constantly adapt to external environments rather than finding its own flow.
