In the traditional Korean calendar, each day carries a two-part name: an element and an animal. In this tradition, each animal also has an element. Today is Mu-Jin, the Dragon day. Picture a vast mountain (Earth) standing on the ground of the Dragon (Earth): solid, stately, and slow to move. It suits big commitments and long-range plans, and it asks you to stay flexible when others need a different pace.

What Is a Day Master?

What Is a Day Master? A saju chart has eight characters, but a reading starts from one of them. It is the top character of the day pillar, and we call it your Day Master . This guide explains what that character is, how the ten possibilities line up, and where to read about each one. If the words "pillar" and "stem" are new, start with What Is Saju? and The Four Pillars . The character a reading starts from The stem is the top character of a pillar, and the stem of the day pillar is the Day Master. In Korean it is called the day stem ( ilgan ).

What Do the Five Elements Say About Your Personality?

Run your birth details through a Saju calculator and you'll get a chart dominated by one or two of five elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, or Water. Here's what each one traditionally says about personality — and what it's like when you have too much, or too little, of it. Wood — the grower Wood-dominant charts are traditionally read as ambitious, idealistic, and growth-oriented — people who are always building toward something, planning the next step, pushing to expand. Too much Wood can tip into stubbornness or an inability to sit still. Too little can show up as a lack of direction or drive. Fire — the performer Fire brings passion, charisma, and high energy.
