Huainanzi

"After fifteen more days, [the handle of the Dipper at midnight] points to the binding cord of Returning Accretion, and there is a surplus of yin in the land. Thus it is said that the forty-sixth day form the winter solstice marks the Beginning of Spring [node], when the yang qi dispels the cold. It's sound is like [the pitch pipe] Southern Regulator."

 

Huainanzi 3.18

 

Twenty Nine years prior my mother had given birth to a son on the spring equinox, a day when "there is a surplus of yin in the land." Had the surplus pervaded this infant? Has all the passive energy fused into his being?

 

Your thoughts?

[Taoist Texts]

The chinese believe its the inception moment that counts. E.g. what time of day and the year season the embryo is incepted, the birthday not so much.

Care to enlighten me how you have come upon this realization? Or Is your word eternally right?

 

Why would Chinese Astrology base your sign on your birth year, rather than your 'inception' year?
