The eight characters you were born with
All you need is a birth date. We build your Saju (Four Pillars) chart, weigh the five elements and read the strength of your day master.
How it works
Enter your birth date. The birth time is optional.
The year, month, day and hour of your birth become eight characters — your natal chart. From those we read the weight of each element and the strength of your day master.
Today’s pillar is laid against that chart to give you today’s fortune as well.
Nothing you enter is stored
Birth dates are used only while the result is being calculated and are never recorded. No account is needed. Nothing carried in a result link is sent to the server.
This is a traditional Saju reading offered for reference. It is not a scientific prediction or a verdict on anyone’s future.
Calculation Basis
What is the basis for the calculations?
We disclose all the rules used by Saju-Link. You can check where the numbers displayed on the screen come from, including the adjustments for today's fortune, the scores from the earthly branch relationship table, and the boundary values that distinguish between a strong day pillar and a weak day pillar.

Service Basis
natal chart — Where do the eight characters come from?
It explains how the year, month, day, and time of birth become the four pillars and eight characters, and identifies which character points to you. It also discusses why it can be viewed even without knowing the exact time of birth.
Five Elements
Five Elements Strength and Strong/Weak Day Pillar
We count the eight characters as five elements to see which energy is strong and which is weak. We disclose the threshold values (45%·35%) that determine the strength of the Day Stem.
