Korean Saju: 1960, Year of the Metal Rat
경자
경자 · Gyeong·Ja
In Korean saju (四柱八字), your birth year sets the first pillar of your chart. 1960 carries the Metal Rat: Gyeong·Ja (경자 in Korean).
Rat — Quick-witted, resourceful, and quietly ambitious — rats notice the opening everyone else walks past.
Metal — discipline, precision, and firm resolve.
The saju year begins at Ipchun (입춘, around 5 February), not January 1. Born before that date? Your year pillar belongs to 1959 — and a true myeongni reading weighs month, day and hour on top.
A real reading reads all eight characters — year, month, day and hour.
