The Secret Destiny of the King of Pop: Revealed by Korean Astrology (Saju)
The King of Pop, read through Korean Saju (Four Pillars)
The Chart
Michael Jackson at a Glance
Michael Jackson was born on 29 Aug 1958, in the Year of the Dog. The stem of that birth day makes Michael Jackson a Yang Earth Day Master, the Mountain. 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, 0 Fire, 3 Earth, 2 Metal, 0 Water. Earth is the strongest element, which for an Earth Day Master plays the role of Companion: self-reliance and peers. The chart holds no Fire or 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 Earth and Fire. 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
A Mountain of Earth pouring its strength into Metal, saju's Eating God of pure talent. His Great Luck Cycles moved from a childhood of Metal into two decades of Water, the wealth star that crowned the Thriller years.
The Day Master
A Mountain Born to Be Seen
In Korean saju, your Day Master is your core self. His is Yang Earth, the Mountain: steady, towering and impossible to ignore, standing on the Tiger, a root of Wood that kept pushing him upward.
The Five Elements
A Mountain Full of Metal
Three Earth, two Metal, one Wood, and no Fire or Water. Earth that creates Metal is saju's sign of a born performer: the Mountain pours its strength outward into sound, rhythm and movement.
The Elemental Key
Metal: The Eating God of Pure Talent
In the cycle of creation, Earth feeds Metal. His Yang Metal is the Eating God, saju's star of effortless talent and joy in creating. His Monkey clashes with his Tiger: a genius that never stood still.
Great Luck Cycles
A Childhood of Metal, a Prime of Water
Great Luck Cycles are saju's 10-year seasons of life. His opened in pure Metal (1961-1970): talent from the very start. Then Water arrived (1971-1990), the wealth star of an Earth Day Master.
The Defining Chapter
The Water Pig Decade of Thriller
From 1981 his Great Luck ran Yin Water over the Pig, double Water: the wealth star at full flow. In this decade Thriller became the best-selling album of all time and the moonwalk circled the globe.

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 an Earth Day Master; the tide is the decade's overall direction on the Life Flow curve.
| Years | Pillar | Roles | Tide |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1961–1970 | Yin Metal Rooster | Output over Output | low |
| 1971–1980 | Yang Water Dog | Wealth over Companion | steady |
| 1981–1990 | Yin Water Pig | Wealth over Wealth | low |
| 1991–2000 | Yang Wood Rat | Power over Wealth | low |
| 2001–2010 | Yin Wood Ox | Power over Companion | steady |
