This is today read from your zodiac sign alone. If you also know your birth month, the section below narrows it further.
This page is generated afresh every day: the relation between today's day branch and each of the twelve branches (union, clash, punishment, harm, and the generating and controlling cycles) is judged by orthodox Myeongri.
The same date always returns the same result. Take it as a bearing to refer to; the choice and the outcome are always yours.

Iljin (日辰) is the pair of Ganji characters that belongs to a given day. Gapja, Eulchuk, Byungin and the rest come round one at a time, and after sixty days the same pair returns. Put in a date and this calendar shows you which pair that day carries.
Unlike the Saju you are born with, the Iljin is the same for everyone. What kind of day it is does not change from person to person; how that day meets you does.
The month-command (月令, wolryeong) is the energy that governs a month. A Gapja day in spring and a Gapja day in winter do not read alike. A month does not turn on the first of the month but on a solar term, so the month-command changes at the moment Ipchun, Gyeongchip or Cheongmyeong enters.
Your zodiac animal is the Earthly Branch of the year you were born. Looking at how that branch stands to the branch of the day gives you a sense of how the day falls for you.
If you have something that needs a date set — a move, a contract, an opening — you can lay the surrounding days side by side on this calendar. Seeing at a glance which day carries which Ganji makes it easier to narrow the candidates.
A single day does not decide a matter, though. Take it as a reference; the choosing is yours.
Saju is fixed at the moment you are born and does not change for the rest of your life. Iljin changes every day. So Saju speaks of you, and Iljin speaks of today.
Read together, they show how today falls for you in particular. That is why the same day reaches different people differently. There is no such thing as a day that is bad in itself — a day simply suits one person and suits another less.
Ten Heavenly Stems and twelve Earthly Branches pair off one by one, and sixty pairs come out of it. The cycle starts at Gapja, ends at Gyehae, and returns to Gapja. The sixtieth birthday is marked because the Ganji of the year you were born comes round again after sixty years.
So a day with the same Ganji fell about two months ago, and another comes about two months from now. Page through the months and you will see the same characters return every sixty squares.
Pick a date and that day’s Iljin appears at once. There is no charge. You may page through the months and print it to carry with you.
If you want the eight characters of your own Saju, put your date and time of birth into the Saju calendar. If it is something where the day really has to be chosen carefully, the date-selection page is where to look.
