1. Nature of Saju (Four Pillars of Destiny)
Saju (四柱) is a traditional East Asian fortune-telling system rooted in Korean and broader East Asian cultural heritage. It interprets personality and tendencies based on eight characters (Palza, 八字) derived from one's date and time of birth, expressed in Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches. While it represents a long-standing cultural tradition, it is not a theory verified by modern scientific standards. Academic research (including KCI-indexed papers) reports Saju-personality correlations as "exploratory results," and major encyclopedias classify Saju under divination.
2. Purpose of the Service
This Service presents Saju interpretations as entertainment content for fun and self-understanding. All outputs — including type classification, Five Elements distribution analysis, and compatibility analyses — are entertainment features utilizing traditional interpretive principles. They do not scientifically predict or guarantee users' personalities or futures.
3. Not a Substitute for Professional Advice
No content provided by the Service can or should replace professional medical diagnosis or treatment, legal advice, financial investment guidance, psychological counseling, or any other professional service. For important decisions regarding health, law, finance, or mental well-being, always consult a qualified professional in the relevant field.
4. Interpreting Results
Saju analysis results are designed to be deterministic — the same input always produces the same output. However, this consistency of computation does not imply scientific validity of the results. The type classification (25 types), element scoring, and body strength assessments used by the Service are based on the adopted conventions of a particular school of Myeongni (Korean fortune-telling). Different schools may yield different results. The Service transparently discloses the interpretive conventions it has adopted.
5. No Hierarchy Among Types
The Service does not imply that any Saju type or element composition is superior or inferior to another. Distributions with less or more of a particular element are not framed pathologically. Every type is interpreted as having its own unique characteristics and potential.
6. Third-Party Content
External links and advertising content within the Service do not represent the opinions or endorsements of the Service provider. The Service provider is not responsible for issues arising on websites accessed through external links.
