The birth year, month, day, and hour each become one pillar. Every pillar contains a Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch, producing eight characters in total.
The chart is read through Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water together with the Day Master, the stem of the day pillar. SajuMira explains these in plain language on the user-facing screens.
Saju calculates pillars from calendar and solar-term rules, while Western astrology calculates planets and angles at the birth moment. SajuMira keeps the two systems separate before comparing them.
The same service can be read in Korean or English. English pages use both Saju and Korean Astrology terminology so first-time readers can connect the Korean name with the broader search term.
We calculate Saju first and a Western natal chart separately. The reading then shows where the two traditions point in the same direction and where they do not.
The free experience does not jump straight to a future claim. It begins with past experiences you can judge yourself, and only then offers an optional topic reading that answers the question you care about.
