What is Korean saju?
Korean saju (사주, “four pillars”) reads the moment you were born as eight characters: a heavenly stem and an earthly branch for your birth year, month, day and hour. It is the Korean name for the Four Pillars system, known in Chinese as BaZi, and in Korea it is an everyday way to talk about personality, relationships and timing.
PAL:JA calculates your Korean saju chart from fixed rules first: the solar-term calendar and true solar time for your birthplace, with 259 birthplaces across 196 countries and territories. The day you were born gives your saju type, one of ten, which saju readers call the Day Master.
Your saju type and eight characters are free, with no sign-up. Sign up to keep your birth chart, read your personality chapter and ask your chart about love, work and timing. Saju describes tendencies, not a fixed future.
Korean saju FAQ
Is Korean saju the same as Chinese BaZi?
They share the same chart: eight characters from your birth year, month, day and hour. Saju is the Korean name, read with Korean terms and Korean habits, such as checking a couple’s compatibility (궁합, gunghap).
How is saju different from my zodiac sign or horoscope?
A zodiac sign comes from where your birthday falls in the year. Korean saju uses four parts of your birth, the year, month, day and hour, so you get eight characters instead of one sign. Your Korean zodiac animal (띠, tti) is only one of them: the branch of your birth year.
Do I need my birth time?
No. Without it you still get six of the eight characters, including your saju type. Only the hour pillar is left out.
Why does my birthplace matter?
Saju counts hours by the sun, not the clock. In Seoul the sun runs about 32 minutes behind the clock, so PAL:JA adjusts your birth hour to true solar time for where you were born.
Is Korean saju free on PAL:JA?
Yes. Your saju type and eight characters are free with no sign-up. The Full Report, with love, money, work and a PDF, costs 1 bok ($1.99).
