In Korean saju, your birth year is one of four pillars in your chart. It's the one that speaks to family, friends and how you show up in a group. Here's what Grandma Choi says about 1990.
In a group, you say what everyone was thinking, then wonder why the chat went quiet.
Horse years make runners. Freedom first, plans later, and an allergy to anyone who says "just wait."
“You'd rather leave than lose an argument, and you've left a lot of rooms.”— Grandma Choi
2027 bonds with your birth year. Family or friends come through for you, and someone new may become one of yours. And for your birth year's element, metal, 2027 brings pressure and tests, the kind that toughen you rather than break you.
Your main element comes from your birth day, not your year. Find yours.
The saju year doesn't start on January 1 or on Lunar New Year. It starts at 입춘 (ipchun), the start of spring on the solar calendar. In 1990 that was February 4, 1990 at 11:14 AM Korea time. Born before that? You belong to 1989: an Earth Snake.
Your birth year is the outside view. The real reading comes from your day pillar, which most people have never heard of, plus your month and hour. Enter your birthday and Grandma Choi lays out all eight characters for free.
