How your year is formed

In Saju every year has a heavenly stem and an earthly branch. 1993 is 癸酉: the stem 癸 is Water Yin ("The Rain": the quiet water that reaches everywhere) and the branch 酉 is the Rooster. Together they make the year of the Water Rooster.

Your element and your animal

The animal's own element (Metal) nourishes that of the year (Water): it is described as a generous energy that gives a lot and also benefits from rest.

In Saju, the Water element is associated with depth, adaptability and intuition. It is an image to recognize yourself, not a fixed label: everyone lives it in their own way.

Born in January or February 1993?

Your Saju year starts on February 3, 1993 at 14:38 (UTC−5, approximate). If you were born before that moment, your sign is that of the previous year: 1992: Water Monkey. If you were born after, it is that of 1993. The free calculator resolves it with your exact date and time.
