The Korean Saju system uses 10 Heavenly Stems (천간) and 12 Earthly Branches (지지). Their least common multiple is 60 years, called the sexagenary cycle. Byeong-o (丙午), the Red Horse year, returns once every 60 years. The previous Byeong-o was 1966.
"Byeong" (丙) is bright Yang Fire — the sun, a beacon. "O" (午) is the Earthly Branch of Yang Fire — noon at its peak. When these meet, 2026 carries the strongest Fire energy of any year in 60 cycles.

Anyone born in a Byeong-o year (1966) returns to their birth year sign in 2026 — this is called "Hwangap" (還甲) in Korean, the 60th-year return. Whether it's lucky depends on your specific Saju balance, especially your Day Master.
Cheonmyeongdang auto-converts both. Select "lunar" radio if you know your lunar date — the system shows the converted solar date for confirmation.
Yes. We auto-correct for birthplace timezone and apply true solar time correction (KST -32min, JST -19min, CST -16min, etc.).
They share roots but evolved differently. Korean Saju emphasizes Day Master + Ten Gods + Sinsal (auspicious stars). Chinese Bazi often integrates Zi Wei Dou Shu (紫微斗數). Cheonmyeongdang follows Korean myeongnihak tradition.
