Jeongsa (丁巳) Day Pillar — The Torch at a Summer Dusk

Jeongsa is a torch blazing brightly at summer dusk. The fire beneath you matches your own, bringing strong drive, competitiveness and fierce independence. There is also something inside you can turn into resources and a way to express yourself. You are passionate, intense and intuitive. You feel deeply, pursue your goals with fervor and often sense things before others do; friends may joke that you knew about the breakup before they did. You have a strong inner flame that can inspire people, and at work, your enthusiasm can carry a whole project forward. Because your fire is doubled, though, your moods may swing. Under stress, you might react strongly when challenged, answering a sharp email with an even sharper one. That intensity is part of what makes you so alive. It simply works best with a steady hand on the torch. Dari's gentle suggestion: learn to tend your flame calmly, perhaps by waiting a moment before you respond, and your passion will become a steady guiding light.
