Frequently Asked Questions
A Saju-based name uses the Four Pillars of Destiny (사주팔자), calculated from your birth date and time, to determine which of the Five Elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, water) you need. Hanja characters with those elements are then selected to create a harmonious name. This is a traditional Korean naming method believed to influence one's fortune.
The Five Elements (오행) are wood (木), fire (火), earth (土), metal (金), and water (水). Birth chart analysis reveals which elements are weak or missing. Characters carrying those elements are used in the name to restore balance. For example, if water is lacking, characters with water-related meanings or radicals are chosen.
