Saju seasonal fortune
Xiaohan (Minor 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.
Xiaohan (Minor Cold) starts the Chou (丑) month — Yin-Earth holds winter's storage. Cold sharpens. Saju: review the full year, settle accounts, and quietly draft January launches.
Water (水) represents storage, wisdom, and deep flow. Under a Water-dominant solar term, the chi sinks and conserves — study, planning, and recovery are favored. In Saju, Water controls Fire (officer), is controlled by Earth (officer-receiver), produces Wood (output), is produced by Metal (resource). Practical use: research, deep work, write strategy, sleep more, save cash, and prepare seeds for the next spring.
