Frequently asked, honestly answered.

Saju (四柱) means “four pillars” — the year, month, day, and hour you were born, expressed as eight characters in classical Korean cosmology. Each character carries an element and a polarity, and together they form a map of the tendencies you were born into. I read that map and write what I see: your strengths, your patterns, the seasons your life moves through. It's not fortune-telling. It's a way to understand yourself more clearly.

I do. The chart calculation uses traditional saju formulas — the same ones Korean readers have used for centuries. The interpretation is read and finalized by me personally, shaped around the question you asked. Just what I see when I sit with your chart.

The free chart is a chart snapshot — your day master, your four pillars, your element balance, and a short basic reading, generated instantly the moment you submit your birth details. Free, no signup. Three Answers answers three specific questions you bring — career, relationships, money, whichever three — in one email, written by Sun. Compatibilityreads two charts together — yours and a partner's. The value isn't one chart twice, it's the harmony and friction between you. Includes a written analysis plus follow-up questions in the same thread.

Yes — a free monthly fortune. Run your free chart and leave your email, and once a month I send a short read on how the season sits against your specific chart — the shape of the month ahead, not a generic horoscope. Free, and one click to unsubscribe.

That's fine. Check the “time unknown” box and I'll read three pillars instead of four. The hour pillar covers inner desires and your relationship with children or legacy, so that part will be lighter — but the rest of the reading is still complete and meaningful.

An hour either way is usually fine. Even just knowing morning, afternoon, or evening lets me work with a reasonable estimate. The twelve earthly branches in saju each cover a 2-hour window, so that level of precision is enough.

Yes — and this is one place where saju is more precise than most people expect. The classical calendar is based on solar time, not clock time. Depending on where you were born, your local time may differ from true solar time by up to 30 minutes — enough to shift the hour pillar in borderline cases. I also apply a seasonal adjustment for people born in the Southern Hemisphere, where the same calendar date carries opposite seasonal energy. Your country (and city if you know it) lets me make these corrections accurately.

Two things make a question sharp. First, be specific, not open— instead of “tell me about my money,” give me the situation you're actually weighing. A vague question can only get a vague answer back, because I have to guess which thread to pull. Second, ask for direction, not prediction. Most people ask “when is my best time?”, but that only leaves you waiting. The chart is far more useful when you ask “where should I lean, right now, with what I already have?” That shift — from what will happen to where do I put my weight— is the biggest upgrade you can make to a reading. There's a full guide with before-and-after examples if you want to go deeper.

Anything shaped like “where should I lean?” rather than “what will happen?” Some examples, by area of life:

• Understanding yourself: Where do my natural strengths sit, and where do I tend to waste my energy?
• Career: Are the strengths in my chart actually being used in the work I do now? If not, how do I put them to work?
• Timing & decade cycles (대운): What are the upsides — and the things to watch — in my current luck cycle? What should I prepare before the next one arrives?
• Money: What shape does wealth take in my chart, and what habit or environment would help me draw more of it?
• Relationships: What kind of person suits me, where do I tend to clash, and who tends to be a genuine ally in my chart?
• Filling the gap: Where is my chart lacking, and how do I fill that to draw better luck toward me?

Bring three to five that genuinely weigh on you, and the reading goes much deeper. And if you'd rather I read it cold without steering me, that's completely fine too — just say so.

No — they're separate services. If you have a saju reading, I can integrate your element map into the space reading, which adds another layer. But your space stands on its own. There's plenty to read from a room without a chart.

Most of the consultation is about arrangement, not renovation. Bed direction, desk placement, what you see first when you walk in, where the light falls. You don't need to knock down walls or move plumbing. Almost everything is about how you place what's already there.

Upload one photo of your space and your email address on the Feng Shui page. I review every submission personally and reply with a short read — usually 1–2 paragraphs of what I notice — within 48 hours. It's free. It's a way for you to see how I look at a space before committing to a full consultation.

I rebuild your room from your photos using a Korean interior app, then rearrange the layout according to feng shui principles and send you several “after” versions showing what the changes would actually look like. You receive visuals, not just instructions.

The one you spend the most time in. Bedroom, home office, and living room — in that order — tend to show the most. A wide shot works best. Natural light if you have it, but it's not required.

Once you submit your birth details, your reading is delivered within 48 hours as a PDF by email. Most go out faster than that.

Pay → enter your birth details → I read your chart → PDF lands in your inbox. You can also download it any time from your order status page, which is linked in your confirmation email.

Check spam first. If it's not there, the order status page (linked in your confirmation email) lets you download directly. Or just write to me and I'll resend.

Readings are ordered through my Etsy shop, so you can use any payment method Etsy accepts — cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Etsy gift cards. Etsy processes the payment; I never see your card details.

Full refund if you cancel before I've started writing. After delivery I generally can't refund, but if something is genuinely wrong with the reading, write to me. I'd rather make it right than have you unhappy.

Right now everything is in English. A Korean version is on the roadmap.

Not yet. Single-person readings only for now. Compatibility (궁합) readings are something I'll add later this year.

Of course. Many people come back when life shifts — a new job, a relationship question, a season change. Same chart, different lens. Just pick whichever reading fits the moment.
