How to look up your saju

Reading your saju involves looking up the calendar, deriving the eight characters, and interpreting them.

What you need

Need: solar or lunar DOB, birth time (ideally minute precision), birth city (for time correction), and gender.

If you don’t know the hour

Year, month, and day alone still yield meaningful analysis. Even rough clues from family help narrow the hour to one or two candidates.

Online tools vs full reading

Free tools usually stop at character lookup. A real reading fixes yongshin and traces cycles, telling you when and how.
