Saju seasonal fortune
Dahan (Major Cold) 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.
Dahan (Major Cold) is the coldest term — the last solar term of the cycle before Lichun restarts. Earth chi consolidates the year. In Saju, this is the closing chapter — finish gracefully, then watch for the new Year branch at Lichun.
Earth (土) represents centering, stability, and transition between seasons. Under an Earth-dominant solar term, the chi grounds — consolidation, contracts, and real-estate-type stability moves are favored. In Saju, Earth controls Water (officer), is controlled by Wood (officer-receiver), produces Metal (output), is produced by Fire (resource). Practical use: integrate scattered work, close inventory, sign property/long-term contracts, stabilize routines.
