Taeyang's signs and Four Pillars
Taeyang's date of birth, as published, is 5/18/1988. 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) | Gye (癸) | Jeong (丁) | Mu (戊) |
| Lower | (unknown) | Yu (酉) | Sa (巳) | Jin (辰) |
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 dew and springwater
What stands for Taeyang is dew and springwater.
Dew and springwater that soak in without a sound. It does not show large, but it quietly wets whatever it reaches.
Deep and quick to notice. It understands without making a point of it.
The ground it stands on
The ground that dew and springwater stands on is tight, hard ground.
It means there is a root. However it looks from outside, there is holding power underneath, so what has been decided is not easily overturned. It is not the quick-to-heat kind but the kind that lasts.
Parents
Parents you take care of.
Giving more than receiving, it comes into its own part early. It learns to carry before it learns to lean.
Partner
A partner who is someone who supports. A tie that holds up rather than cuts down.
It is easiest together when the person beside you is steady and even rather than showy.
Signs
Much of a chart changes with the hour of birth. For Taeyang, six of the seven stayed the same all day long. Those we can give you without knowing the hour.
Taeyang holds on to what it has taken. Slow to change, and correspondingly hard to knock over.
runs several threads at once. Holding only one for long gets stifling.
keeps close people on the inside. The line between inside and outside is clear.
picks the side that is not the same as everyone else. Does not simply follow the set form.
stacks it up one layer at a time. Rather than go fast, goes all the way.
⇒ Carries both holding on once taken and stacking it up at once.
What knowing the hour would narrow
the inner mood and feeling changed within that day. Knowing the hour of birth settles it to one.

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.
