Korean Saju: 2009, Year of the Earth Ox
기축
기축 · Gi·Chuk
In Korean saju (四柱八字), your birth year sets the first pillar of your chart. 2009 carries the Earth Ox: Gi·Chuk (기축 in Korean).
Ox — Patient, dependable, and immovable when it matters — the ox wins by refusing to lose.
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 2008 — and a true myeongni reading weighs month, day and hour on top.
A real reading reads all eight characters — year, month, day and hour.
