원본보기 아이콘

We have analyzed the saju (traditional Korean fortune chart) of the trot singer Lim Youngwoong, who has gained immense popularity and even earned the nickname "the nation's ideal son-in-law," based on his birthdate as registered on Namuwiki.

Since the exact birth time is unknown, the saju-palja has been interpreted based on noon as the reference point.

The day stem is [Jeonghwa (丁火)].

Jeonghwa (丁火) represents fire.

Hot fire.

It is a fire of destruction that burns everything to nothing,

but also a productive fire that melts and refines metal.

When the Jeonghwa day stem is strong, it has the heat of a blast furnace,

while if it is weak, it has the qualities of a star or candlelight shining in the dark night.

It is characterized by kindness and thoughtfulness, but also possesses the ability to maintain a cool-headed and critical perspective.

This personality is especially affectionate,

but when faced with times of change, there is a fiery spirit to rise up more than anyone else.

Since there is a "sleeping lion" nature,

it is said that it is better not to provoke someone whose day stem is Jeonghwa (丁火).

There is also a strong sense of courtesy and loyalty to one's group,

and a willingness to sacrifice oneself without hesitation.

The day stem is [very robust].

The most fundamental criterion for evaluating a saju as "good" is having a strong day stem. This is because a strong day stem can handle strong wealth stars (Jaeseong) or strong official stars (Gwanseong), making it easier to gain great wealth or authority and achieve certain accomplishments in life.

Next, we discuss the fortune regarding wealth. Having a robust day stem is certainly a good sign.

If the day stem is strong, one can achieve greater success than others when good fortune arrives.

It is [Jeongsa (丁巳)] day pillar.

This indicates a clear discernment and a straightforward, honest personality.

There may be a lack of ability to accept others' advice or opinions, leading to criticism for self-centered decision-making.

Although meticulous and thorough in work, there is a tendency for speculation and seeking shortcuts, which can result in poor judgment, so caution is needed.

This day pillar requires efforts to harmonize with others in relationships.

The marital and romantic fortunes are not particularly bright.

There may be serious personality and opinion differences, leading to discord, and in severe cases, separation.

This is a day pillar where quite a few people live alone.

It is recommended to marry as late as possible.

The power of Bigyeon (比肩, "peer star") is at work.

Generally, people with this structure are very self-centered.

Some may be excessively headstrong, but most have a firm will that is not easily swayed by others.

They have the ability to accept wealth (Jaegwan) without difficulty, enabling them to steadily accumulate wealth or achieve status.

Outstanding sociability.

They have a talent for gathering people around them and enjoy good relationships.

However, they can display a dual nature, being forceful and self-righteous toward those with different opinions or who do not agree with them.

They pursue an independent lifestyle and value freedom, disliking reliance on others.

Conversely, if the energy is disrupted by clash (Chong) or combination (Hap), decisiveness may be lacking and there may be a tendency to depend on others, causing a sudden change in personality.

Once they trust someone, they tend to maintain that trust to the end, making them vulnerable to betrayal.

They may have difficulty handling legal or contractual matters regarding rights and obligations.

As a result, they may sometimes get into trouble with loans or guarantees, so caution is required.

The term "Gungeopjaengjae" (群劫爭財) refers to a situation where siblings fight over wealth. In severe cases, it can lead to estrangement among siblings.

If the wealth star (Jaeseong) is too weak in the saju, there is a weak bond with the father.

This weak bond can manifest in various ways.

They may live apart from their father from a young age, have a poor relationship even if living together, or in severe cases, the father may pass away early.

In such cases, there is also a tendency to have little connection with wealth.

If only Bigyeon (peer star) is strong in the saju, there will be issues in relationships with the opposite sex. This is often not due to a lack of personal qualities, but rather excessive self-consciousness.

The lacking element is the power of Gwanseong (官星, "official star").

The role (meaning) of this official star is as follows.

For both men and women, Gwanseong governs career and work.

For women, Gwanseong can also represent a man or husband.

For men, Gwanseong can also represent children.

For both men and women, Gwanseong can also indicate exams or academic advancement.

What happens if this Gwanseong is missing from the eight characters of the saju?

It can potentially cause various issues.

That is correct.

But does a woman without Gwanseong have no man or cannot get married, and does a man without Gwanseong have no chance of having children?

That is not necessarily the case.

As will be explained later,

if Gwanseong appears in the major luck cycle (Daewoon) or annual luck (Sewoon),

or if Jaeseong (wealth star) that strengthens Gwanseong appears, this deficiency is temporarily filled, allowing for marriage and children.

Until that luck comes, the original role of Gwanseong is not fully realized.

The power of Jaeseong (財星, "wealth star") is at work.

This is the power that signifies wealth.

It symbolizes planning, abundance, and health.

When the power of Jaeseong is active, matters related to wealth constantly occur around the person.

If the day stem is robust and this power is also strong, the potential to become wealthy is very high.

The reason is,

when Jaeseong is active, there is naturally a strong interest in money.

If the person is also organized and proactive, it is almost inevitable to become wealthy.

However,

if this power is excessively strong, there may sometimes be problems with academic pursuits, and for men, difficulties in romantic relationships.

This power also damages the Inseong (印星, "nurturing star") that symbolizes the mother, so it may manifest as a strained relationship with the mother or acts of filial impiety.

If the person is a devoted child, it is said that the mother is often in poor health.

Also, if the day stem is weak but only Jaeseong is strong, it may result in being unable to finish what is started or, in some cases, having a lot of money but being unable to use it, leading to misfortune.

In any case,

the fact that Jaeseong, the most important element for modern life, is a powerful force determining destiny means your life has a high probability of being "worth living."

[Omihap]

There are changes resulting from clashes (Chong) or combinations (Hap).

While not affecting every aspect of life, the energy of [Omihap] is currently at work.

The interpretation of Chong and Hap is as follows.

There is a sense of frustration, as if the path forward is blocked.

It is like wanting to speak but being unable to do so.

This is similar to having talent but being unable to utilize it, or having siblings but not receiving their help.

If one encounters favorable major or annual luck, it is possible to make money.

However, it seems difficult to attain an official position.

The outcome depends greatly on the composition of the saju and the timing of fortune, so it is necessary to closely observe the annual luck cycle.

The period when the major luck cycle brings strong wealth fortune is between ages 24 and 43.

The period when strong romantic fortune appears in the major luck cycle is also between ages 24 and 43.

The periods when strong career fortune appears in the major luck cycle are between ages 14 and 23, 54 and 63, and 64 and 73.

Looking at Lim Youngwoong's wealth fortune in his saju,

he possesses the most typical basic form of becoming wealthy.

With this basic form,

there will be many active economic activities around him.

He will make money from these,

though, of course, there will be failures and periods of stagnation.

Some people think that a "wealthy saju" always means constantly making money,

but that is not true.

If one acts at the wrong time, the chance of failure increases. However, even failures become the foundation for future success, so do not lose courage.

As long as the major and annual luck cycles do not thoroughly betray you,

you are destined to become wealthy someday.

As for Lim Youngwoong's romantic fortune,

it corresponds to the case where the energy of fire, dryness, and strong Bigyeon (peer star) is present.

There is a lot of heat.

The most urgent need is the water element (Su) to cool this heat, but there is no water element visible in the saju-palja.

In this case, in addition to issues with romantic relationships, various other problems may arise.

In such times, it is important to be cautious in everything, and if there is something you truly wish to achieve, it is recommended to challenge it during a period when the water element is present.

It seems that issues must be endured.

Unless the other party makes significant concessions, things may be very difficult.

In such cases, there are two options:

Either you endure a lot, or you live apart from each other.

Unfortunately, this is a case of strong Bigyeon.

There are certainly potential issues.

- Brokerage work dealing with many people.

- Employee at a large corporation.

- If talented in entertainment, work in the entertainment industry.

- Self-employment is also possible.

- Work related to the government or public organizations.

- Professions such as doctor, lawyer, journalist, and other freelance work are also suitable.

- Woldeok Gwiin (月德貴人, "Monthly Virtue Nobleman")

Woldeok Gwiin is an auspicious star indicating virtue in wealth, enjoying prosperity, and meeting good connections, leading to a life of wealth, honor, and fame.

- Dohwasal (桃花煞, "Peach Blossom Star")

This is an inauspicious star that can leave blemishes in life due to lust.

In the past, depending on its position in the saju, it was said to either strengthen marital love or, conversely, cause ruin by having extramarital affairs.

However, in modern times, this star is most commonly seen in famous celebrities.

If one's good looks and affectionate personality are well expressed, it can lead to a unique life as a celebrity.

Nevertheless, as it is originally an inauspicious star, there is a risk of self-destruction due to indulgence in pleasure or deviant tendencies, so caution is necessary.

- Hongyeomsal (紅艶殺, "Red Beauty Star")

This is an inauspicious star associated with vanity and a fondness for pleasure.

Regardless of gender, it indicates giving affection to someone other than one's spouse.

For men, it can mean having multiple partners; for women, it can mean having children with someone outside of marriage, especially in non-traditional professions.

Ordinary people rarely manifest this star, but it is often seen in those working in the entertainment or nightlife industries.

- Geonrok (建祿, "Establishment of Prosperity")

Also called Imgwam, it means being appointed to an official position and embarking on a career.

It is an auspicious star indicating health and prosperity.

If the saju composition is good, it brings family comfort, official fortune, and a lifetime of ease and blessings.

- Hyeoncheumsal (懸針煞, "Hanging Needle Star")

If this star acts positively, it brings success in the medical field, military, or clothing manufacturing.

If negative, it can result in frequent injuries, and in severe cases, being shot, stabbed, or suffering accidents.

- Gokgaksal (曲脚煞, "Bent Leg Star")

This star indicates a likelihood of experiencing bone fractures or skeletal issues due to accidents or illness at least once in life. It can also cause neuralgia.

- Yeokmasal (驛馬煞, "Traveling Horse Star")

This star, as is widely known, means being unable to stay in one place and constantly moving around.

It indicates an active and energetic nature.

If auspicious, it brings early accumulation of wealth and adaptability, making careers in diplomacy or transportation ideal. If inauspicious, it can mean wandering far from home, leading to hardship and loneliness, making it a half-auspicious, half-inauspicious star.

Summary

- Lim Youngwoong's day stem is very robust, and he is destined for wealth due to a strong wealth star.

- With good wealth fortune, he will become wealthy someday.

- Due to the energy of fire, dryness, and strong Bigyeon, romantic fortune is not favorable.

- The composition of the saju means that annual luck (Sewoon) determines his life.
