Four Pillars of the East

Names from your Four Pillars

In Saju, a birth is written as four pillars: year, month, day and hour. Each is made of the five elements, wood, fire, earth, metal and water, and a chart that lacks one is said to long for it.

We listen for English names whose sound carries the missing element, and tell you why each one was chosen.

What Saju needs from you

  • A birth dateThe only thing required. It gives the year, month and day pillars.
  • A birth timeAdds the hour pillar. With the birth city it is corrected to local solar time.
  • Nothing elseSurnames, siblings and a hoped-for career are optional and only nudge the ranking.
