Basics of Saju (Four Pillars of Destiny)
Saju (εζ±) literally means "four pillars," representing the four time-based pillars of a person's birth: Year, Month, Day, and Hour. Each pillar is a combination of a Heavenly Stem (Cheongan, 倩干) and an Earthly Branch (Jiji, ε°ζ―). The study of interpreting a person's temperament and fortune through these pillars is called Saju Myeongri (Four Pillars of Destiny).
Saju originated in ancient China approximately 3,000 years ago and has spread throughout East Asia, including Korea and Japan. In modern times, it is widely enjoyed as a tool for entertainment and self-understanding.
Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches
There are 10 Heavenly Stems (Gap, Eul, Byeong, Jeong, Mu, Gi, Gyeong, Sin, Im, Gye) and 12 Earthly Branches (Ja, Chuk, In, Myo, Jin, Sa, O, Mi, Sin, Yu, Sul, Hae). Together, they form 60 unique combinations known as the Sexagenary Cycle (60 Gapja). Each pillar in a person's Saju is expressed using one of these combinations.
The most important element in Saju is the Day Master (Ilgan, ζ₯εΉ²) — the Heavenly Stem of the day you were born. The Day Master represents the self and serves as the reference point for analyzing relationships with all other pillars.
What Are the Five Elements?
The Five Elements (Ohaeng, δΊθ‘) are the core concept of Eastern philosophy that classifies all phenomena in nature into five fundamental elements: Wood (Mok, ζ¨), Fire (Hwa, η«), Earth (To, ε), Metal (Geum, ι), and Water (Su, ζ°΄). These elements interact through generating (Sangsaeng) and overcoming (Sanggeuk) cycles.
Gap (η²) Β· Eul (δΉ)
Byeong (δΈ) Β· Jeong (δΈ)
Mu (ζ) Β· Gi (ε·±)
Gyeong (εΊ) Β· Sin (θΎ)
Im (壬) Β· Gye (ηΈ)
Generating and Overcoming Cycles
Generating Cycle (Sangsaeng — Elements that nurture each other)
In the generating cycle, one element gives rise to and supports the next in a continuous loop.
- Wood generates Fire (ζ¨ηη«) — Wood fuels the fire
- Fire generates Earth (η«ηε) — Fire leaves ash that becomes earth
- Earth generates Metal (εηι) — Metal ores are found within the earth
- Metal generates Water (ιηζ°΄) — Dew condenses on metal surfaces
- Water generates Wood (ζ°΄ηζ¨) — Water nourishes trees to grow
Overcoming Cycle (Sanggeuk — Elements that restrain each other)
- Wood overcomes Earth (ζ¨εε) — Tree roots break through the soil
- Earth overcomes Water (εεζ°΄) — Earth dams and absorbs water
- Water overcomes Fire (ζ°΄εη«) — Water extinguishes fire
- Fire overcomes Metal (η«ει) — Fire melts metal
- Metal overcomes Wood (ιεζ¨) — Metal axes cut down trees
Five Elements and Numbers
Traditionally, each of the Five Elements is assigned specific numbers. These assignments originate from the Hado (River Diagram, ζ²³ε) numerical system and are considered to carry the energy of each element.
| Element | Numbers (last digit) | Lotto Number Range | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wood (ζ¨) | 0, 5 | 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 | Growth, prosperity |
| Fire (η«) | 4, 9 | 4, 9, 14, 19, 24, 29, 34, 39, 44 | Passion, vitality |
| Earth (ε) | 1, 6 | 1, 6, 11, 16, 21, 26, 31, 36, 41 | Stability, abundance |
| Metal (ι) | 3, 8 | 3, 8, 13, 18, 23, 28, 33, 38, 43 | Wealth, fruition |
| Water (ζ°΄) | 2, 7 | 2, 7, 12, 17, 22, 27, 32, 37, 42 | Wisdom, flow |
