IU's Four Pillars and signs
IU's date of birth, as published, is 5/16/1993. The birth time is not public.
There is still a great deal we can say. What follows is only what does not change whether or not we know the hour.
| Hour of birth | Day of birth | Month of birth | Year of birth | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Upper | (unknown) | Jeong (丁) | Jeong (丁) | Gye (癸) |
| Lower | (unknown) | Yu (酉) | Sa (巳) | Yu (酉) |
The chart reads right to left. Because the hour is not public, the left-most column is left empty. The other three are fixed by the date alone, so we write them as they are.
What you are made of — like a lamp
What stands for IU is a lamp.
A lamp that lights what is close by in the dark. It does not reach as far as the sun, but it warms whoever is beside it.
Fine-grained inside. It goes deep with a few people rather than wide with many.
The ground it stands on
The ground that a lamp stands on is tight, hard ground.
Ground it holds and drives. Rather than be pulled, it pulls, so work that gets handed to it is where the strength shows.
Parents
Parents who push from behind.
IU is not left to drive it all alone; there is support underneath. Basic stamina runs high and it holds out a long time alone. What that abundance asks in return is that you go out and find where you are needed yourself — that is when it goes best.
Partner
A partner who is someone I take the lead with. The one who steers, so the initiative sits here.
It is easy to end up the one steering. There is less friction with someone who moves with you.
Signs
Much of a chart changes with the hour of birth. For IU, seven of the seven stayed the same all day long. Those we can give you without knowing the hour.
IU holds on to what it has taken. Slow to change, and correspondingly hard to knock over.
has soft edges. Other people’s moods come straight across.
moves first. Rather than weigh things until the moment passes, steps out.
shows up large. Being in front of people feels like a role, not a burden.
tries not to tip to one side. Puts care into choosing and matching.
picks the side that is not the same as everyone else. Does not simply follow the set form.
⇒ Carries both holding on once taken and picking a different side at once.

What we do not do
- We write only what the engine returns from a published date of birth.
- We do not pretend to know the birth time. What changes with the hour, we say changes.
- We do not give the ascendant or the houses. They turn over completely every two hours, so without the hour all twelve are candidates — picking one would be making it up.
- The sky was swept on Korea Standard Time.
