Fortune & Saju

Saju and fortune reading are old interpretive systems, yet writing that explains the reasoning behind a reading is rare. Here we start from the vocabulary, so you can read a chart yourself instead of taking someone else's word for it.

We walk through the heavenly stems and earthly branches that make up a four-pillar chart, how the five elements generate and control one another, and what the great and yearly cycles are meant to describe. Zodiac forecasts and compatibility, name readings, solar terms and auspicious dates are covered too.

Instead of pronouncing verdicts, we show the reasoning and its limits. We also explain why two readers can differ on the same chart, so you can decide for yourself how far to take it.
