Korean Saju: 1973, Year of the Water Ox
계축
계축 · Gye·Chuk
In Korean saju (四柱八字), your birth year sets the first pillar of your chart. 1973 carries the Water Ox: Gye·Chuk (계축 in Korean).
Ox — Patient, dependable, and immovable when it matters — the ox wins by refusing to lose.
Water — depth, adaptability, and sharp intuition.
The saju year begins at Ipchun (입춘, around 4 February), not January 1. Born before that date? Your year pillar belongs to 1972 — and a true myeongni reading weighs month, day and hour on top.
A real reading reads all eight characters — year, month, day and hour.
