Korean Saju: 1970, Year of the Metal Dog
경술
경술 · Gyeong·Sul
In Korean saju (四柱八字), your birth year sets the first pillar of your chart. 1970 carries the Metal Dog: Gyeong·Sul (경술 in Korean).
Dog — Loyal, grounded, and principled — dogs guard what matters without counting the cost.
Metal — discipline, precision, and firm resolve.
The saju year begins at Ipchun (입춘, around 4 February), not January 1. Born before that date? Your year pillar belongs to 1969 — and a true myeongni reading weighs month, day and hour on top.
A real reading reads all eight characters — year, month, day and hour.
