The Secret Destiny of the Little Dragon: Revealed by Korean Astrology (Saju)
The Little Dragon, read through Korean Saju (Four Pillars)
The Chart
Bruce Lee at a Glance
Bruce Lee was born on 27 Nov 1940, in the Year of the Dragon. The stem of that birth day makes Bruce Lee a Yang Wood Day Master, the Great Tree. No reliable birth time is on public record, so the chart is read from three pillars, six characters; the Day Master does not depend on the hour.
Counted character by character, the chart contains 1 Wood, 1 Fire, 2 Earth, 1 Metal, 1 Water. Earth is the strongest element, which for a Wood Day Master plays the role of Wealth: results and resources. Every one of the five elements is present, which readers describe as a well-rounded, adaptable chart.
Weighing the season of birth and the support around the Day Master, the elements that help this chart most are Water and Wood. Decades that bring them tend to read as rising tides on the Life Flow curve, and decades that bring their opposites as low tides.
The Story
A Life in Elements
Bruce Lee was born a Yang Wood Great Tree in the Year of the Dragon. His chart carries the Seven Killings, saju's warrior star, and a Dragon that clashes with a Dog: a life built for motion, speed and breakthrough.
Earth decades (1944-1963) carried a child actor from Hong Kong through years of training and study. Then in 1964 a Tiger decade brought the Great Tree a root of pure Wood, and the world met him: The Green Hornet in 1966, The Big Boss in 1971 and Enter the Dragon in 1973.
The Day Master
A Great Tree Born in the Year of the Dragon
In Korean saju, your Day Master is your core self. His is Yang Wood, the Great Tree: upright, driven and always reaching higher, born in a Dragon year, fitting for the man the world called the Little Dragon.
The Five Elements
A Warrior's Star in a Balanced Chart
One Wood, one Fire, one Metal, one Water and two Earth: a rare, balanced chart. His Yang Metal is the Seven Killings, saju's warrior star, and his Dragon clashes with his Dog: power that never sat still.
The Elemental Key
Wood: The Root Beneath the Fighter
In the cycle of creation, Water feeds Wood and Wood feeds Fire. Pressed by Metal and heavy Earth, the Great Tree grew strongest when Wood arrived to root him: discipline turned into unstoppable speed.
Great Luck Cycles
From Child Star to the Tiger Decade
Great Luck Cycles are saju's 10-year seasons of life. Earth decades (1944-1963) carried a child actor through years of training, then a Tiger decade (1964-1973) brought a root of Wood at last.
The Defining Chapter
The Tiger Decade That Made a Legend
From 1964 his Great Luck ran Yang Metal over the Tiger: a warrior's Metal above a root of pure Wood. In this decade came The Green Hornet, The Big Boss and Enter the Dragon, and a global legend.

Decade by Decade
Each Great Luck Cycle adds a stem (top element) and a branch (bottom element) to the chart. The roles show what those elements mean for a Wood Day Master; the tide is the decade's overall direction on the Life Flow curve.
| Years | Pillar | Roles | Tide |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1944–1953 | Yang Earth Rat | Wealth over Resource | steady |
| 1954–1963 | Yin Earth Ox | Wealth over Wealth | low |
| 1964–1973 | Yang Metal Tiger | Power over Companion | steady |
