What this reading tells you

  • Where your Five Elements feed each other, and where they drain each other.
  • Use it to understand each other better, not to rank your friends. No one is a bad match.
  • It reads two charts side by side, so both birth dates matter equally.

Why some friendships feel easy

With some friends, time passes without effort. With others, you come home a little tired even when you like them. This page compares two birth charts with our three checks (see How our compatibility reading works), and its advice is about everyday rhythm rather than big moments. Applying gunghap to friends is a modern extension of a practice made for marriage.

Friendship compatibility example: Firefly and Meadow

Two fictional friends: one born on July 21, 1990 at 2 p.m., the other on February 18, 1991, birth time unknown.

  • Day Masters: Firefly (gentler Fire) and Meadow (gentler Earth). Fire feeds Earth, which traditional readers describe as one friend giving energy to the other, here Firefly to Meadow.
  • Balance: each friend fills the other's gaps. The first has no Wood, but the second does. The second has no Fire or Water, but the first does.
  • Day Branches: Pig and Goat, not one of the Six Harmonies.

The result is 80 points, grade B. The missing birth time did not stop the reading; it simply used six characters for that friend.

How to use a friendship compatibility reading

Use it to notice patterns, such as who usually makes the plans or who needs quiet time afterward. It is not a way to rank friends or to decide who to keep.

Friendship compatibility questions

Can I compare myself with several friends at once? This page compares two people. To see a whole group around you, use Bond Circle.

Is a C grade bad for a friendship? Not at all. A C means a few of the three checks did not line up. It says nothing about how close two friends are.

Is this the same as Chinese bazi compatibility? Both grow from the same Four Pillars roots, but Korean gunghap has developed its own customs. Our reading uses only the three checks described on our compatibility page, so it is much simpler than a full reading by a specialist.

Is anything saved? Birth details stay in your browser. Bond Circle is the one feature that stores data with us.

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 ). "Day Master" is simply the English name we use for it. The Encyclopedia of Korean Culture (Academy of Korean Studies) describes the whole chart as read around this character. A reader looks at how the characters combine or clash, at the roles of family and other close people, at the balance of yin and yang, and at how the five elements feed or check one another. The Day Master is the reference point for all of it. ...

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. Fire-dominant people are often the ones who light up a room and act fast on instinct. In excess, it's read as a short temper or impulsiveness. In deficiency, it can look like low motivation or emotional flatness. Earth — the stabilizer Earth is grounding, dependable, patient. Earth-dominant charts are tra...
