K-SAJU Cast my chart

Korea reads destiny in eight characters.

Saju — the Four Pillars of Destiny. Your year, month, day, and hour of birth, written in the old calendar and read for what they say about you. Cast yours below. No sign-up, no charge.

Your birth, to the minute.

The chart changes with the hour — and near a solar term, with the minute. Enter local time at the place you were born.

The four pillars.

Read right to left in tradition; left to right here. The day pillar is you — its stem is your day master.

Your day master.

Five elements.

Today, for you.

— today is your day

The day pillar changes every day. Come back tomorrow.

Keep the card.

Two charts, one table.

Partner, crush, co-founder, mom — add their birth date and see how the charts sit together.

What a saju reading is.

A thousand-year-old system, still consulted across Korea before marriages, career moves, and new years.

  1. 1.0

    Four pillars, eight characters

    Your birth year, month, day, and hour each get two characters from the old East Asian calendar — a heavenly stem and an earthly branch. Eight characters total: your palja. Koreans say "palja" the way English says "lot in life."

  2. 2.0

    The day master is you

    The stem of your day pillar is the chart's protagonist. It comes in ten flavors — five elements, each in a yang and a yin form: the tall tree or the vine, the sun or the candle, the mountain or the field.

  3. 3.0

    Five elements, one balance

    Wood, fire, earth, metal, water. Every character in your chart carries one. What dominates and what's missing shapes the reading — too much fire burns, absent water never rests.

Why the minute matters.

The month pillar doesn't change at midnight on the first — it changes at the exact moment a solar term arrives, down to the minute. Same for the year pillar at Ipchun, the start of spring. Ask a chatbot for your saju and it will guess that boundary from the calendar date and quietly hand you the wrong month pillar if you were born near a term.

This site computes the term times astronomically — the way a Korean manse calendar does — and we cross-checked the engine against two independent implementations before shipping it.

For reflection and entertainment. A chart is a mirror, not a verdict.
