“Knowing the five elements helps understand myself. Today's fortune is what I create.”
The five elements—Wood (木), Fire (火), Earth (土), Metal (金), and Water (水)—are an important principle in Eastern philosophy that explains humans and nature. While a person's tendencies cannot be merely categorized into five types, the five elements symbolize the energies that form the foundation of all things and can be used to analyze one’s disposition and fortune. If you deeply understand the five elements, the insights about the world, including yourself, will become clearer. Today's fortune is not a simple prediction but a guideline for crafting your day. I hope it serves as a starting point for making better decisions.
Today is the 4th day of the 乙巳 year (Eulsa Year), in the 己卯 month (Gimyo Month) and 丁酉 day (Jeongyu Day). If the previous day, the 丙申 day (Byeongsin Day), was a day to personally feel the intense reactions of Fire (火) and Metal (金), today is a day for deeper mental reflection and resulting maturation. Since ancient times, 丁酉 (Jeongyu) has been seen as a auspicious day, particularly beneficial for those contemplating their careers or paths, but misinterpreting this could lead to excessive pondering and inaction. Remember, while you can gain energy, it won’t take responsibility for you.
Below are today’s fortunes for each of the five elements.
● Wood (木) element today's fortune, “You need to be decisive.”
Today, you are someone who must assert the need for decisiveness. People around you might feel concerned and offer advice, but from your perspective, you do not have to accept unnecessary meddling or control. It may hurt to refuse advice intended to help with your shortcomings, but there will come a day when you must make choices alone. I hope you learn how to say no on this day when the energy is favorable.
On this 丁酉 day (Jeongyu Day), the 丁火’s (Jeonghwa) role from the perspective of Wood (木) performs the function of food and injury (食伤) while facilitating production and outpouring. However, the subsequent arrival of 酉金 (Yugum) indicates a day when controls over the results created by Wood (木) come into play. Currently, the autonomy of Wood (木) is maximized, so this structure may cause stress for Wood (木). It is good to learn from mistakes rather than expecting perfection from the outset.
● Fire (火) element today's fortune, “One word can repay a thousand nyang worth of debt.”
One way to repay a thousand nyang worth of debt is through a single word, whether for good or bad. A casual remark thrown out in everyday conversation could provide someone with advice that may change the course of their life or could be harsh criticism that leads to hatred towards you. Today is a good day to be careful with your words and actions, but that doesn’t mean you should be overly silent. If it’s difficult, just aim to refrain from being critical.
On this 丁酉 day (Jeongyu Day), the Fire (火) of the horoscope indicates strong self-awareness. This means one's assertions and values are often exposed to others, and the distribution structure of 酉金 (Yugum) may be stimulated by this. A direct statement may easily sway significant wealth, so if you are in sales or business, it’s advisable to be mindful of your words today.
● Earth (土) element today's fortune, “Recognizing differences, not mistakes.”
Today, you may encounter an impactful event that could shift your values. This day does not wait for you to respond but hopes for your immediate reaction. Especially in family or interpersonal relationships, if you fail to respond quickly, it could lead to distance in those relationships. Recognizing differences, rather than mistakes, is a tip for getting through today.
For those with the Earth (土) element, the influence of Fire (火) today may bring about mental changes, and at the same time, there’s a possibility of creating a disconnect with reality. Particularly, the sprouting Wood (卯木) of the 己卯 month (Gimyo Month) acts as the official star (官星), reinforcing external controlling forces and rules, so if the Earth (土) element fails to proactively accept changes, it could lead to greater burdens. However, aligning perfectly with the surrounding flow can complete a beneficial trend for the Earth (土) element, leading to substantial gains.
● Metal (金) element today's fortune, “You receive as you give.”
If you have plans set for today, I suggest reading this before executing them and making adjustments. While a perfect picture may be drawn and executing it may yield significant benefits, you should reflect on whether this is a selfish gain only for yourself. Actions that deceive others for gain will likely work out to be the worst today.
On this 丁酉 day (Jeongyu Day), if 酉金 (Yugum) is emphasized, there’s a risk of thinking too one-sided due to the effects of distribution. The Metal (金) element has the power to actualize these skewed thoughts, so caution is warranted. With the energies of Wood (木) and Fire (火) still prevalent, it’s difficult to pursue perfection that even the people around you recognize. You receive as you give is the essence of distribution.
● Water (水) element today's fortune, “Focus more in the afternoon than in the morning.”
Today will have a significant shift between morning and afternoon. While you might enjoy a peaceful morning, unexpected events may unfold in the afternoon, especially requiring sudden adjustments in contracts, investments, or financial matters. You may find that many around you are waiting for your help, but it may be difficult to fully demonstrate your abilities today.
On this 丁酉 day (Jeongyu Day), the interaction between 酉金 (Yugum) and the sprouting Wood (卯木) of the 己卯 month (Gimyo Month) can strongly stimulate the volatility of Water (水). If Water (水), which is nourished by 酉金 (Yugum), excessively suppresses 丁火 (Jeonghwa), you may act hastily. There are opportunities for material gains, similar to other elements, but it appears challenging to seize them.
