I believe that you first add your date of birth together and then divide by 8 to get the first trigram.

June 14th, 1980 14+6+27=47/8 = 5 with 7 left over that would be ken trigram and that goes on top. Use the remainder 7.

Then you add the date of birth plus the time. Say time of birth is between 1pm to 2pm that would equal 13 hours. So, 47 + 13 =60/8 = 7 with 4 left over. 4 = chen trigram which goes underneath.

So you would end up with #27 as your birth hexagram for June the 14th, 1980, 1pm.

Chien = 1, Tui = 2, Li = 3, Chen = 4, Sun = 5, Kan = 6, Ken = 7, Kun = 0 or 8

I have been back to the yinyang horoscope site, and it is big and beautiful now!! It was always very good, Siwerd Aldenryd has the rare gift of being both meticulous and creative, so it is good, and beautiful, both.

But until now I never saw the translation yet, and what I saw, in a glimpse, was very promising!!
Hex. 15, "the strategist", finally someone who goes past the tedious modesty-only meaning. And I saw a few more like that. I love it!
