(360) Online saju readings

By Janet Shin

While I practice saju readings, I do not neglect other factors such as one’s name, facial impression, tone of voice, the way one talks, posture and even clothing. Face-to-face saju readings are the most suggested consultation but in our days of the online world, we need to seek other preferred types of readings.

Some considerate clients send their photos via email for saju readings. Others prefer phone conversations to email. For the feng shui readings, photos of their residence that demonstrate the various aspects including the exterior view would work.

If it is not too much exaggerated, saju readings may also need artificial intelligence (AI) assistance. None of the existing internet saju reading programs, however, provide such data-based information as far as I know. If one could investigate and accumulate consultation records of all various groups of professions, family backgrounds, educational career, and so on, saju readings by AIs may become possible. But the database has to be as abundant as possible in order to be worthy of academic value. In the meantime, it is still the expertise of the saju master that makes the saju reading meaningful because only with the records of one’s birth, the saju master should be able to interpret one’s life.

In many cases, male clients would want to get their saju readings without providing any information about themselves, while female clients accommodate some basic information or at least they start the conversation asking specific questions. Male clients, on the other hand, do not ask until they hear some general readings.

A man in his mid-40s wanted to have his saju read by phone. I only got his phone number and he wanted me to do a general reading about his life.

His day master is yang wood (green) born in the month of metal (white), which represents his career star. This indicates that this person pursues a certain level of social status. The career star is also associated with public organizations.

Having a strong knowledge star at the place of month heavenly stem represents a certain degree of intelligence. He must have studied at a high-ranking university and earned a commendable qualification. His knowledge stars are water elements with the support of metal. Water and metal elements exemplify the energy of communication, finance, accounting and computer science.

A significant shift in his career path happened at age 39, when the lucky fire element was added to his saju. Before that, his attempts to build his own business would have not been so successful. In 2016, the year of the monkey, he experienced another struggle involving his career. The zodiac sign of monkey that stands for his career star clashed with his birth zodiac letter, tiger. It is the only letter that sustains the day master.

Being provided with these general readings, he was astonished by the accuracy of saju. He actually studied at one of the top three universities in Korea, majoring in accounting. He also has a CPA license. Having gone through continued failure in his own business, he moved to a public organization. His question was whether he would have a chance to begin his own business again. Some other questions about his family were also asked and answered.
