Saju seasonal fortune
Bailu (White Dew) is one of the 24 solar terms (jieqi) used in the Korean Saju and East Asian lunisolar calendar. This page explains its meaning, the dominant 5-element flow, and how to use it when reading your Korean four-pillar fortune.
Bailu (White Dew) brings cool dew at dawn. The You (酉) month begins — peak Yin-Metal, the cleanest cutting energy of the year. In Saju, this is exam season, contract season, and the sharpest time to edit.
Metal (金) represents structure, refinement, and harvest. Under a Metal-dominant solar term, the chi contracts inward — pruning, clarifying, and finishing are favored. In Saju, Metal controls Wood (officer), is controlled by Fire (officer-receiver), produces Water (output), is produced by Earth (resource). Practical use: finalize contracts, close loops, edit work, sharpen skills, audit finances. Avoid impulsive new expansions; restraint pays.
