Steer your life in the right direction

By Janet Shin

One of the charms of saju reading is to compare the similar saju of two people and figure out how their lives unfold differently. I have met saju with affinity in their cycles quite often.

We are going to read two saju and you will see both the similarities and differences in their lives. Despite their similarity, the lives usually unfold in different paths, subject to their will and life styles. Different characteristics of day masters and surrounding energies determine the way saju proceeds in individual life.

First of all, here is the saju of Angelina Jolie, one of the celebrities who has caught people’s eyes and ears across the globe with all of her activities.

Jolie was born with the energy of yin metal, which is often compared to beautiful jewelry. I have said that I can see whether one is beautiful or not by reading one’s saju. It is even read whether the beauty is recognized by others or not. The simplest way is to identify one’s day master and what other elements are around the day master. For example, yin metal (jewelry) and yin wood (flower) are the most frequent day masters for the beautiful. And sometimes fire people are also beautiful.

Beauty, of course, is a very personal word. So it may not get everybody’s consensus. However as per my reading, for example, Nicole Kidman; Beyonce Knowles; Diana Spencer, the Princess of Wales; Madonna; Rihanna; and Charlize Theron are all yin wood day masters, which represent beautiful flowers.

Unconsciously I tell people that “You are beautiful,” without meeting them face to face, and they are quite surprised. It is because I can read their day masters and the energy they radiate. On top of that, there are other conditions required to make their beauty shinier. For the flowers, it would be more beautiful if there is water and sunshine. And the jewelry would brightly emanate its beauty with glaring lights.

Anyway, looking at her saju, Jolie, as jewelry, has enough fire energy to brighten her beauty. However there seems too much fire. The fire element for a metal day master implies power or authority in her relationships with men. While fire energy sheds lights on her beauty, she also has to overcome the pressure of the fire instinctively. It is the water element that can extinguish the fire. The water denotes the expression star or children for a metal day master. It is not surprising that she is obsessed with children either her own or adopted. She may also be involved with humanitarian work to assist those who are in need.

Now we may look into an ordinary woman’s life with similar energy structure. Below is the saju of a woman born with a yin wood day master. For a wood day master, metal is the element to restrict, which is called the career star and denotes authority, power and her relationship with men. Being a yin wood, like a flower, the metal is like a knife to cut down all the leaves and blooms.

She is repulsed by social authority and what is so-called power. Accordingly she declined marriage and became a nun in her thirties. The element that could control the metal energy in her saju is the fire energy, which is an expression star but not in her saju. Instead, she has water energy, which implies the knowledge star. The way she controls the metal energy, threatening her, is to utilize her intelligence and learning.

Everyone has their own way of living. There is no one fixed answer to steer them in the right direction.
