Korean Saju: 1989, Year of the Earth Snake
기사
기사 · Gi·Sa
In Korean saju (四柱八字), your birth year sets the first pillar of your chart. 1989 carries the Earth Snake: Gi·Sa (기사 in Korean).
Snake — Private, wise, and strategic — snakes think ten moves ahead.
Earth — stability, reliability, and quiet endurance.
The saju year begins at Ipchun (입춘, around 4 February), not January 1. Born before that date? Your year pillar belongs to 1988 — and a true myeongni reading weighs month, day and hour on top.
A real reading reads all eight characters — year, month, day and hour.
