Korean Saju: 2001, Year of the Metal Snake
신사
신사 · Sin·Sa
In Korean saju (四柱八字), your birth year sets the first pillar of your chart. 2001 carries the Metal Snake: Sin·Sa (신사 in Korean).
Snake — Private, wise, and strategic — snakes think ten moves ahead.
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 2000 — and a true myeongni reading weighs month, day and hour on top.
A real reading reads all eight characters — year, month, day and hour.
