Saju (四柱, “four pillars”) is the Korean name for the Four Pillars of Destiny, also known as BaZi in Chinese. Your birth year, month, day and hour are each written as a pillar made of one Heavenly Stem and one Earthly Branch, giving eight characters in total. Read with the classical Ziping method, they describe your temperament, aptitudes and the flow of your fortune.

How can I read my own saju?

Enter your date and time of birth on SAJUBY (sajuby.com) and we set up your Four Pillars chart with the classical Ziping method. You can then receive a report on your Day Master, Yongshin, and the flow of your 10-year luck cycles and whole life.

How is saju different from a daily horoscope?

A horoscope or fortune looks at short-term flows — today, this month, this year. Saju (Myeongri) analyzes the eight characters you were born with to describe your personality, aptitudes and the large 10-year cycles of your life. SAJUBY offers in-depth readings based on classical Myeongri.

Yongshin (用神, the “useful element”) is the one of the five elements — Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water — that your chart needs most. It is chosen by weighing the strength of your Day Master, the season of your birth and the balance of the elements. Using the colors, directions and kinds of work that match it can help you make better use of your luck.

What is Daewoon (major luck cycle)?

Daewoon (大運) is the large flow of fortune that changes every 10 years. The element and Ten God each cycle brings into your natal chart set the general direction of that decade for money, work, relationships and health.

Jeonghae Day Pillar (丁亥) — Personality, Career, Love & Wealth

The Jeonghae (丁亥) day pillar pairs the day stem 丁 — Lamp and Candle — with the day branch 亥 (Pig).

The Day Stem

Jeong-hwa is lamp, candle, starlight — precise, persistent, deeply attuned.

Precision plus deep devotion — excels in medicine, research, teaching, art, counseling.

Where It Sits — the Day Branch

Hai water is a wide, gathered body of water. Where Zi moves, Hai holds — broad, undiscriminating in company, rich in imagination.

Hai in the day branch is capacity and imagination — putting people at ease, inventing stories, though loose boundaries let anyone in.

Twelve Life Stages

Conception — the next current is forming.

Challenges

Slow accumulation can frustrate; burnout and self-doubt come if results aren’t patient.

Environments & Relationships

Indirect light, warm tones, tidy small spaces, scent and tea — libraries, studios, ateliers.

Pairs with wood types who recognize its quiet light, rather than competing luminaries.
