Question 1

What is Saju (사주)?

Accepted Answer

Saju (사주, "four pillars") is Korean destiny analysis based on your birth year, month, day, and hour. Each pillar pairs a Heavenly Stem with an Earthly Branch, forming an eight-character chart (사주팔자) that maps the five elements — Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water.

Question 2

What is a Day Master (일간)?

Accepted Answer

The Day Master is the Heavenly Stem of your birth day pillar. It represents your core identity and personality. All other elements in your chart are interpreted relative to the Day Master, making it the most important character in your Saju reading.

Question 3

Why do I need my birth time for Saju?

Accepted Answer

The hour pillar is one of the four pillars. Without it, your chart is incomplete and the element balance may be inaccurate. If you don't know your exact birth time, you can still get a three-pillar reading with reduced precision.

Question 4

Is this Saju reading free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, completely free. Enter your birth date and time to get your full four-pillar chart, five-element balance, Day Master analysis, and AI-powered personality interpretation.

Question 5

How is Korean Saju different from Western astrology?

Accepted Answer

Western astrology uses planetary positions against constellations. Saju maps your birth moment onto Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches from the East Asian lunisolar calendar, using five elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) instead of four. Saju produces eight characters versus a single sun sign, offering more granular analysis.
