❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Everything about Korean Saju, K-pop compatibility, and this site. Questions? comsamo84@gmail.com.
Q.What is Korean Saju (사주)?
A.Saju (四柱, "Four Pillars of Destiny") is the Korean tradition of reading destiny from the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches of your birth year, month, day, and hour. It maps to the Five Elements (Wood·Fire·Earth·Metal·Water) and zodiac animals to describe personality, fortune, and compatibility.
Q.Is this an accurate replacement for a traditional 만세력 reader?
A.No. This site uses simplified Gregorian-calendar math instead of true lunisolar / solar-term (節氣) conversion. That is fine for fun and self-reflection, but a professional 만세력 reader in Korea will give more precise month and day pillars.
Q.How is the K-pop compatibility score calculated?
A.We combine day-master element relation (generating +30, same +10, conflicting −20) with year-branch relation (trinity 三合 +15, harmony 六合 +10, clash 沖 −15) around a base of 50, clamped to 0–100.
Q.Why only publicly known birth dates for celebrities?
A.Birth dates are public information (official agency profiles, fan clubs). We deliberately avoid photos, logos, album artwork, or any copyrighted assets. This site is not affiliated with HYBE, SM, YG, JYP, ADOR, or any other agency.
Q.Is the Wealth Reading financial advice?
A.Absolutely not. The Wealth reading is entertainment-focused framing based on your dominant element. Never use it as a substitute for qualified financial or investment advice.
Q.Does it work for non-Asian birth dates?
A.Yes. Saju is based on calendar mechanics, not ethnicity. Anyone with a known birth date (1900–2099) can use this tool. The readings assume a Gregorian input; we do the cycle math for you.
Q.How many languages are supported?
A.14: English, 한국어, 日本語, 简体中文, 繁體中文, Español, Français, Deutsch, Tiếng Việt, ไทย, Bahasa Indonesia, Русский, Português, and العربية (RTL). Switch from the language menu in the header.
Q.Do you store my birth date?
A.No. All calculations happen in your browser. We do not send your birth date to a server. Only basic analytics (page views) are collected.
Q.Is the zodiac the same as Chinese zodiac?
A.The twelve animals overlap, but Korean saju interprets them in the context of four pillars and five elements — not just your year animal. Two Rats from different hours/days have very different saju.
Q.Can I share my result?
A.Yes. Every result page has a share bar: X (Twitter), Facebook, Reddit, KakaoTalk (link copy), Instagram Story download (1080×1350 PNG), and a generic link copy. Each reading type has its own palette.
Q.What if the Hour field is left blank?
A.We still compute year, month, and day pillars — enough for a reading. Traditional saju uses 2-hour blocks from 23:00. If you know your exact birth time you will get a slightly richer chart.
Q.Do you take feedback or bug reports?
A.Please email comsamo84@gmail.com — we actively improve the translations, add new celebrities, and fix calculation edge cases.
