AUG 16

申 Monkey Month · Yang Metal

Born on August 16th

Your Day Pillar — the most personal element of your saju chart — changes every year. Find yours below.

In saju, your Day Pillar (일주/日柱) represents your core self — who you are at the deepest level. Unlike Western astrology's sun sign, which stays the same for everyone born in the same month, the Day Pillar changes every single day and cycles through 60 unique combinations. Two people born on August 16 in different years carry different Day Pillars, different energies, and different structural tendencies.

August falls under the Monkey branch (申/신) in saju, governed by Yang Metal energy. This month energy shapes your social instincts and career tendencies. But your Day Pillar shapes you.
