The result updates automatically when your birthday is complete. Korean lunar dates are first converted to the solar calendar, then read against the Chinese calendar.

Know the year boundary

This zodiac reading starts the year at Chinese New Year. Saju uses the Beginning of Spring solar term, so the year labels can differ around January and February.

Read the symbolic story

The animal and element lead into editorial reflections. This is a birth-year reading; it does not calculate a complete Chinese astrology chart or Zi Wei Dou Shu.

Frequently asked questions

Does a January birthday always belong to the previous animal year?

It depends on the date of Chinese New Year in that year. The calendar conversion determines the boundary.

Is birth time used?

No. This reading uses the birthday, without longitude correction or an hour pillar.
