Age 32, 41: the Rén Chén Decade

In those years from thirty-two to forty-one, you moved through what the tradition calls Coming of Age, a time when your Wù Earth nature was solidifying into its mature form. The Rén Chén pillar brought what we call Indirect Wealth, or windfalls; this is the kind of fortune that arrives less through your own effort and more through opportunity and the generosity of circumstance. Water flowing over the Dragon branch has a particular ease to it, and because this element was favourable for your chart, things likely came without the friction you might have experienced in other decades. You probably noticed money or resources arriving from unexpected quarters, or doors opening without you having to push as hard. This was a gentler chapter, one where the universe seemed to cooperate with your becoming. Looking back, you can likely see how those years allowed you to settle into yourself in ways that earlier periods did not.
