“Understanding the five elements helps me understand myself. Today's fortune is created by me”
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 it's not possible to categorize human traits into just five types, the five elements symbolize the fundamental energies of all things, which can help analyze an individual's temperament and fortune. A deep understanding of the five elements will lead to clearer insights about the world, including oneself. Today's fortune serves not merely as a prediction but as guidance for the day I am creating. I hope it becomes a starting point for making better decisions.
Today is the 4th day of the Ilsa year (乙巳年) in the Gimyoweol month (己卯月) and the Mugil day (戊寅日). The Mugil day (戊寅日) is a day when strong earth (토) coexists with vigorous wood (목), where the ideas and efforts arising from wood (목) culminate in the form of earth (토). However, due to insufficient metal (금), it is a day where solid foundations are built rather than visible results. Rather than being sad about the lack of immediate gains, it is a day to realize what true value is.
Below are today's fortunes for each of the five elements.
● Wood (목) element today's fortune, “The food you can eat is predetermined”
No matter how much one craves, they won't suddenly be able to do the impossible. This applies to love, friendship, and work alike. Only with sufficient effort and preparation can one hope to develop. Today is a day where the food you can eat is predetermined. It is a day emphasizing satisfaction rather than greed.
Excessive wood (목) energy can disrupt the balance of the Mugil (戊寅) day. It is akin to planting too many trees on appropriate land (land). This implies that even the opportunities for properly growing trees can be taken away by mediocre trees. Do not try to catch two rabbits and end up losing them all.
● Fire (화) element today's fortune, “Your virtue is great”
Today could be a day where you may play a central role in significant changes. Success in a project or rekindling relationships with acquaintances may depend on you. Depending on how much effort you put in, the outcomes of today could be even greater.
The energy of fire (화) can organically assist wood's (목) challenges in attaining stability in earth (토). Especially given the sufficient energy of Ilsa (乙巳) and Gimyoweol (己卯), if you've played a minor role previously, try to take the lead today.
● Earth (토) element today's fortune, “Isn’t it enough if the results are good?”
Today may leave you with the thought, isn’t it enough if the results are good? To be more precise, it feels more like, as long as there are no major issues, isn't it fine to not make a big effort? While this isn't entirely wrong, wouldn’t it be regrettable to miss out on good opportunities simply due to inconvenience?
Those with an earth (토) fortune will experience a day contrasting with wood (목). Adequate opportunities may come from wood (목), but as the energy of earth (토) is already abundant, there may be a reluctance to settle. If there is too much soil, it will eventually collapse.
● Metal (금) element today's fortune, “A day to reveal myself more”
For those who were unreserved in presenting and decorating themselves, today could be an ideal day. However, for those who were a bit passive, it is advisable to showcase your achievements more. If you find yourself in a position to make more proactive choices, why not actively adopt the good ideas around you?
From metal's (금) perspective, today is a time to ponder how to realize the appropriate results produced by wood (목) and earth (토). Since you possess the capability to do so, today is also a day when you may be sought after in various aspects.
● Water (수) element today's fortune, “It is not an absolute failure”
Today may feel like relationships and tasks wrapping up halfway could be considered failures. It might seem like there are ongoing dull failures, but these are actually not failures. This particular setback could provide vital assistance for future successes. Do not give up and continue to challenge yourself.
The Mugil (戊寅) is an essential day for water (수) to create the flow of wood overcomes earth and earth overcomes water. Ultimately, it is the journey of water (수) flowing along the path created by earth (토) that results in the growth of wood (목). However, water (수) without metal (금) can become overwhelmingly messy. Ultimately, without self-cleansing, one cannot finish this journey.
