The Secret Destiny of the People's Princess: Revealed by Korean Astrology (Saju)
The People's Princess, read through Korean Saju (Four Pillars)
The Chart
Diana, Princess of Wales at a Glance
Diana, Princess of Wales was born on 1 Jul 1961, in the Year of the Ox. The stem of that birth day makes Diana, Princess of Wales a Yin Wood Day Master, the Wild Flower. 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 2 Wood, 1 Fire, 2 Earth, 1 Metal, 0 Water. Wood is the strongest element, which for a Wood Day Master plays the role of Companion: self-reliance and peers. The chart holds no Water, and in Saju a missing element is often the quality a life has to build deliberately, or the one a later decade finally brings.
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
Diana was born a Yin Wood Wild Flower in the heat of midsummer, carrying the Eating God, saju's star of warmth and care. Her chart held no Water: a flower that gave its light away without ever stopping to rest.
From 1973 two Fire decades set that warmth ablaze. She became the Princess of Wales in 1981, broke the stigma around HIV with a single ungloved handshake in 1987, and in 1997 walked through a minefield in Angola to call for a global ban on landmines.
The Day Master
A Wild Flower Born in High Summer
In Korean saju, your Day Master is your core self. Hers is Yin Wood, the Wild Flower: gentle, adaptable and quietly resilient, born in the heat of midsummer and seated on the Goat, a field of Earth.
The Five Elements
A Summer Flower With No Rain
Two Wood, two Earth, one Fire, one Metal and no Water. Her summer Fire is the Eating God, saju's star of warmth and care: a flower that gave its light away to everyone who reached for it.
The Elemental Key
Fire: The Warmth She Gave the World
In the cycle of creation, Wood feeds Fire. Her Fire is how she gave of herself, and Water, the one element she lacked, is the rest that renews a flower. Her Ox clashes with her Goat: a life in motion.
Great Luck Cycles
Two Decades of Fire and Grace
Great Luck Cycles are saju's 10-year seasons of life. Fire over Metal ran from 1973 to 1992: two decades of the Eating God's warmth, the years she became a princess and the world's most photographed woman.
The Defining Chapter
The Fire Rooster Decade of Compassion
From 1983 her Great Luck ran Yin Fire over the Rooster: the Eating God at full flame. In 1987 she shook an HIV patient's hand without gloves and helped change how the world saw the illness.

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.

|---|---|---|---|
| 1963–1972 | Yin Wood Goat | Companion over Wealth | low |
| 1973–1982 | Yang Fire Monkey | Output over Power | low |
| 1983–1992 | Yin Fire Rooster | Output over Power | low |
| 1993–2002 | Yang Earth Dog | Wealth over Wealth | low |
