What is Hwagaesal (Canopy Star)?
Hwagaesal literally means 'flower canopy star' and is determined by the Day Branch. It indicates a person who naturally gravitates toward art, spirituality, philosophy, or contemplative practices. Hwagaesal natives often have refined aesthetic sensibilities and may feel like outsiders in mundane society. The star can manifest as artistic talent (music, painting, writing), spiritual seeking (meditation, religious practice), or academic depth. On the challenging side, it can bring isolation, difficulty with practical matters, and excessive introspection.
