Korean Saju & Chinese BaZi — in English

What Is Saju (BaZi)?

Saju (사주) — "four pillars" — is the Korean name for the Chinese astrology system known as BaZi (八字), or "eight characters." Your birth year, month, day, and hour each form a pillar of two characters, and the interplay of the Five Elements across those eight characters describes your temperament, talents, relationships, and the timing of your life.

Unlike Western astrology, which follows the planets, Saju follows the Chinese solar calendar and the cycles of Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. New to it? Begin with the Four Pillars guide and find your Chinese zodiac sign.
