SAJU · KOREA'S WAY OF READING PEOPLE

Meet the character you were born as

Think of it as a Korean zodiac character. Your birth year gives you the character shared by your generation, and your exact birth day adds a more personal one. Find both in 30 seconds.

When were you born?

That's all the almanac needs.

Birth date

Choose your birth place

Select the city where you were born, or the closest city in the list. The city helps us adjust your birth time near traditional calendar boundaries.

If you do not know the time, time-sensitive sections use noon as an estimate.

No account or server-side birth profile. The result page keeps birth inputs in its address; Share removes them.

Like a star sign — but sharper

One character from your year, one from your day

Your birth year sets the character shared by people born that year — such as 1986's Fire Tiger. Your exact birth day adds a second character for a more personal layer.

5 elements × 12 animals

Wood, fire, earth, metal and water, crossed with twelve animals. That makes 60 characters — rarer than your star sign, rarer than your MBTI.

Computed, not quizzed

No quiz questions, no random answers. Your character comes straight from the traditional Korean almanac — the same system Koreans still check before weddings and job moves.

Which one are you?

Every character is one element + one animal. Here are a few of the 60.

How it works

  1. 1

    Enter your birthday

    That's all it takes. Birth time is optional — it just sharpens the details.

  2. 2

    We open the almanac

    On the 1,000-year-old Korean calendar, your year carries one of 60 characters — and your day carries another.

  3. 3

    Meet your character

    Flip the card, read your temperament, and share it — then make your friends find theirs.

Good to know

Is this the same as the Chinese zodiac?

They share the same roots. Your year character is your zodiac animal combined with that year's element, such as Fire Tiger or Golden Pig. Your birth day then adds a second character.

What will I see in my reading?

You will see the eight characters made from your birth year, month, day and hour, plus your two character profiles, element count and this year's 12-month flow. It is not a complete traditional consultation: layers such as 10-year luck cycles are not included yet.

Do you store my birth date?

We do not create an account or server-side birth profile. Your personalized result keeps the birth inputs in that page's address so it can be rebuilt; the Share button removes them.

I don't know my birth time. Does it matter?

You can continue without it. We show the six known characters and estimate time-sensitive sections using noon; those sections are clearly marked as estimates.
