Plum blossom calendar

What you are talking about should be the time divination method in The Book of Changes of Plum Blossoms, which is calculated according to the lunar calendar. For example, today is July 25th, 2008 at 2 1: 20, which translates into the lunar calendar as June 23rd, the year of Wuzi.

The last hexagram: 1+6+23=30*8= the remaining 6 is a hexagram.

The next divination: 1+6+23+ 12= 42*8= the remaining 2 is this divination.

Dynamic: The total number of years, months, days and hours =42*6, which is the sixth.

But the divination of time is not based on the date of birth.
