A useful way to interpret one’s saju is to read it by the colors. It is actually a very effective method, as it gives clients a vivid ocular presentation, and at the same time they inspire the reader with a certain soulful impression. Colors are empirical revelation of the universe not only for artists and but for everybody.
Based on my reading experience with thousands of people, I have accumulated immediate intuitive insight upon plotting the saju, which usually comes by the colors. And it helps me to convey my readings to most of my clients with a common language without referring to complicated saju theories or Chinese charactors.
All objects in the universe are perceived via the mediation of light. Light expels the darkness and lengthens the day. It is needed for cooking and it warms every creature. Colors themselves have psychological influences and move our souls with their association with substantive materials. There actually have been many experiments on colors and their special influences, for example, colors that are fragrant or audible. I once watched a television program showing an artist who is blind but can recognize colors by the touch of his fingertips.
Going back to the subject of saju colors, they reveal either warmth or coldness and brightness or darkness. They also give off other climatic impressions, either dryness or dampness. They shed a significant influence over one’s life. Obviously, harmonious and balanced color combinations are justifiably required to lead an easy and less troubled life. Among their implications, personal inclination would be the most accurate and simple interpretation.
Red (fire) and green (wood) represent warmth, softness, diffusion and growth while white and black imply solidity of metal (white) and fluidity of water (black). And both stand for coldness.
Yellow, on the other hand, is an archetypal color of the earth and produces wealth and opulence. It can be perceived as an element to give warmth to all creatures but it actually renders ulterior ramifications. A predicament arises when the saju consists of either only warm colors or cold colors.
Below is the saju of a 44-year-old man. His four pillars of destiny comprise two black (his day master, water elements), five white (metal elements) and one yellow (earth element). The only earth element located in his year branch, unfortunately, doesn’t yield any warmth and protection. Instead it is likely to change to metal and water. Fire element (red) and wood element (green), the former representing his wife and fortune while the latter expression and career stars, are not presented at any pillars.
Two charts underneath his four pillars of destiny contain prominent red and green. But they rather negatively interact with the metal and water elements in his saju.
He got divorced 10 years ago and is suffering financial difficulties. This actually doesn’t manifest all the misfortune he has, as divorce and economic hardship may happen for anyone at certain points of their life path. Some may get over their obstruction easily or quickly while others may not.
The problem lies in his pessimism. He has been in extreme despondency over the last 10 years and even has a feeling of resentment against his parents. During the consultation, I had a hard time persuading him to accept the atmosphere of his saju as it is. The next measurement can only be taken upon acknowledgement. It is sad to view only the unfavorable aspects of one’s own life and give up the search for a solution.
