Korean Saju: 1971, Year of the Metal Pig
신해
신해 · Sin·Hae
In Korean saju (四柱八字), your birth year sets the first pillar of your chart. 1971 carries the Metal Pig: Sin·Hae (신해 in Korean).
Pig — Generous, sincere, and quietly determined — pigs enjoy life without losing their way.
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 1970 — and a true myeongni reading weighs month, day and hour on top.
A real reading reads all eight characters — year, month, day and hour.
