The five elements in Korean saju

- Dates follow the Korean manse-ryeok calendar, computed with the open-source lunar-javascript library.
- The month pillar changes at each solar term, and the year pillar changes at Ipchun (around 4 February), not on 1 January.
- If you were born between 11 pm and midnight, your day pillar stays on that calendar day.
- Your birth time is read as the local clock time you enter, with no longitude correction. Without a time, the chart uses noon and leaves out the hour pillar.
