(328) Similar saju of two people and synchronicity in their lives

By Janet Shin

What we do first to read someone’s destiny by saju is to plot a chart constituted by the records of his or her birth year, month, day and hour. This is obtained by the so-called 10,000 year calendar, which contains both the solar and lunar calendars, 24 divisions of the year, decades and so on, considering all the leap years and summertime practices of relevant countries. Owing to advanced computer software these days, you just need to key in your birth records based on the local time of the city where you were born.

What makes it simpler is by the help of colorized smart applications, you may even be able to visualize the images of your saju. Illustrated in the examples below, you will see two saju charts for A and B. In order to make them more presentable, I trimmed some complicated parts out, but still left all the Chinese characters of both heavenly stems (cheon-gan) and earthly branches (ji-ji) and whether they are yin or yang. Nevertheless, the colors and some images make them a little more comprehensible. As you have learned, the five elements are characterized as wood with green, fire with red, earth with yellow, metal with white and water with black.

In the beginning, we must define what the day master is first, and it can be figured by the letter of the heavenly stem on the birthdate. As they are already portrayed by the photo images, which are marked in bold, the day master of the two saju below are yin wood. We can get some ground information by this. In general, yin people are introverted, realistic and do not show their wood properties outside and are rather deliberate inside. If, for example, they have sufficient energies of the same elements especially those of yang elements, they can be complemented with some affirmative confidence.

Yin wood acts after careful consideration. In nature, it can be represented by flowers like roses, ivy or small and weak trees. People with yin wood day master are thoughtful and may seem rather calculating. They generally seek to expand and grow but can’t grow big or tall while the yang wood can.

After interpreting the day master, we scrutinize the surrounding letters, especially based on the birth month.

In case of two saju below, they are both women, but weren’t born in the same year. A was born in November 1987 and B in July 1956. Naturally the warmth of fire energy is required for the flower in winter and water energy is needed in summer.

Above all, yin wood looks for the energy of the sun (fire element), which will make it vital and bright, and fears that of the metal element as it would cut or chop the flower. Taking these aspects into consideration, the saju of A and B have some critical similarities even though their birth year, month (season) and day are not identical.

Owing to the natural traits of the yin wood, it is often compared to the attributes associated with beauty and arts. Fire elements (energy of the sun) represent their talents, expression star and the metal elements their careers and spouses.

Without any personal connections, both of them are engaged in the art business in reality, one as a curator and the other an art teacher. Since they both have the strong and crowded metal elements, threatening the day master, one is married to a younger husband who has never been responsible for household finances, while the other is not satisfied with her boyfriend and is reluctant to get married.
