Saju guide
Questions about how saju is calculated, answered with the rules SAJUDORIM actually uses.
- Does your zodiac animal change if you were born before Ipchun?In saju, yes. The saju year starts at the minute of Ipchun, not on January 1 or at the Lunar New Year.
- Can you read saju without knowing your birth time?Yes. The two characters of the hour pillar are left empty and the reading uses the other six.
- Why do saju sites give different month pillars for births near a solar term?Services set the solar term moment and the birth moment in different ways.
- How are the eight characters of saju calculated?The birth year, month, day and hour each become one heavenly stem and one earthly branch: four pairs, eight characters.
