Manseryeok Calculator
The Manseryeok (만세력) is the perpetual calendar Korean fortune tellers use to turn a birth date into the Four Pillars — the raw chart behind every Saju reading. Enter your birthday and read yours off the table.
What is a Manseryeok (만세력)?
The Manseryeok (萬歲曆, “ten-thousand-year calendar”) is the reference calendar of Korean Saju — the Four Pillars of Destiny. It maps every date onto the sexagenary cycle: sixty ganji (간지) pairs of a heavenly stem and an earthly branch, with month boundaries set by the 24 solar terms rather than the Western calendar. Read your chart off the table above — the year branch sets your Korean zodiac animal, the day stem is your day master, and the balance of Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water is the raw material of the reading. Traditionally you would look all this up in a thick printed Manseryeok book; this page computes it instantly.

Manseryeok — FAQ
It is the Korean perpetual calendar that converts any birth date and time into the eight characters of a Saju chart — a heavenly stem and an earthly branch for the year, month, day, and hour. Every Korean fortune teller starts by looking up your pillars in the Manseryeok; this calculator does that step for you.
Yes. The year and month pillars change at the solar terms (절기) — not on January 1 — and the hour pillar is computed from your birth time and country time zone. If you don’t know your birth time, the year, month, and day pillars are still exact.
Same engine, different focus. This page shows the raw Manseryeok table — stems, branches, and elements. The Saju calculator adds the interpretation layer: your day master profile and five-elements balance. Use this one for the chart, that one for the meaning.
