About Saju & Analysis

I don't know my exact birth time. Can I still get an analysis?

Birth time is important for a complete Saju analysis. If you don't know it, some aspects may be limited, particularly those related to the Hour Pillar and certain timing interpretations. If you know an approximate time (for example, around 1 PM or around sunset), we may be able to explore possible birth times through consultation. Please mention this in your inquiry.

Why does the analysis take time?

The most time-consuming part is the analysis itself, not simply drafting, translating, and proofreading. I personally examine both the broader patterns and finer details of your Saju chart, taking time to consider its structure, timing, and interactions so important details are not overlooked. This is part of providing a careful and responsible reading.

How is Saju different from Western Astrology?

Western Astrology primarily interprets celestial bodies and their positions in relation to a person's birth. Saju, in the Korean tradition, is structured around cyclical patterns of time, seasons, Yin-Yang, and the Five Elements. The two systems therefore use different frameworks for interpretation.

Is this the same as Chinese Bazi?

Four Pillars analysis is practiced across East Asia (Chinese Bazi, Japanese Suimei, and Korean Saju). The reports provided here are based specifically on Korean Saju Myeongrihak, drawing on classical theories while interpreting them in the context of modern life.

Services & Delivery

How long is the report?

The length varies by service: The Signal is typically around 20 pages; Deep Dive is typically 80+ pages; Roadmap varies depending on the selected period and focus. A fixed page count cannot be guaranteed because each person's Four Pillars structure is unique. The focus is on the quality and clarity of insight, not simply filling pages.

How long does the analysis take?

The Signal: within 48 hours. Deep Dive: within 5–7 business days. Roadmap: minimum 3 business days; exact timing is confirmed according to the requested period and analysis scope. Fully Customized: timing depends on the scope and is confirmed during the initial discussion.

How are the reports translated?

I use advanced AI tools for initial translation, but I personally proofread and edit every sentence. This helps ensure that Saju terminology and every detail of the analysis are conveyed accurately and clearly. Your real name and specific date of birth are not entered into AI translation or report-drafting tools; a nickname is used, and the analysis is based on your Saju chart data.

What languages do you support?

Live consultations via Messenger, voice, or video call are available in Korean and English. For other languages, you or I may need to hire a professional interpreter at your own expense. For written reports and messenger-based Q&A in languages other than English and Korean, AI translation tools are used. With the assistance of proficient speakers, I can currently oversee basic proofreading of Portuguese and Russian translations. Other languages rely solely on AI. For Portuguese and Russian, I ask for your consent to the AI translation and cross-check process.

Can I ask questions after receiving the report?

Yes. Email follow-up Q&A is included within 2 weeks of report delivery: The Signal includes 2 questions, Deep Dive includes 5, and Roadmap includes 3. Questions should focus on clarifications and insights regarding the delivered report. If you need more time, data retention may be extended by up to 4 additional weeks with your explicit consent, subject to the Terms of Service.

Can I request an analysis for someone else?

I generally recommend requesting an analysis for yourself. If you request an analysis for a family member or partner, their explicit consent is required. They must either submit written consent or participate in the initial email or consultation process to agree to the relevant terms and privacy conditions.

Can I get a refund?

Because Saju analysis is a customized service based on the consultant's time and expertise, refunds are not available once the analysis has officially commenced. Refunds are available before the analysis starts. Depending on the payment method and platform, transaction fees and taxes already incurred may be deducted. For details, see Article 8, Refund and Cancellation Policy, in the Terms of Service.

Privacy & Data

How do you handle my personal data?

Personal data is collected and processed only as necessary to provide the Saju analysis service, including preparing and delivering your report, consultation, Q&A, and related administration. Analysis data is generally retained for 2 weeks after report delivery for follow-up questions. With your explicit consent, this may be extended by up to 4 additional weeks, to a maximum of 6 weeks from delivery. After that, data and reports are permanently deleted, except for records that must be retained by law. You may request earlier deletion after the analysis is completed, subject to legally required retention. AI tools may be used for drafting and translation, but your real name and specific date of birth are never entered. A nickname and extracted Saju chart data (the 8 characters) are used instead.

Can I request an analysis for my child?

Yes, but only under strict conditions. Consent from a parent or legal guardian is mandatory, and the minor's own consent is also required to respect their autonomy. The scope is limited to innate aptitudes and personality tendencies. Since children are still developing, the analysis avoids defining their future path too early and aims to support development rather than prescribe a particular path.
