Saju-myeongri is a deduction system to predict and judge good or bad luck and fortune or misfortune in a person's fate with Saju-palja(四柱八字), which replaces time and date of birth with Ganji(干支). Koreans see Saju-palja as a compound word of Palja(八字) that is the innate fate of a person and Saju(四柱) that is the fortune-telling of the fate. Thus Saju-palja has a representative and symbolic meaning in fortune-telling faith, exercising enormous impacts on the lives and values of Korean as the basic system of thoughts.
Mokeunjip(牧隱集) by Lee Saek(李穡, 1328~1396) is the first record that saw the very first appearance of ‘Palja’ in Korea and provided more specific content about Saju-myeongri. The appearance of the ‘Saju’ term was much later than ‘Palja’, making its debut in Pilwonjapgi(筆苑雜記), an anthology by Seo Geo-jeong(徐居正, 1420~1488) published in 1487.
It was in the latter half of the 14th century that Saju and Palja that used to mean the same thing started to diverge in meanings; Saju came to refer to all the means and acts of fortune-telling themselves and Palja became a pronoun to refer to a person's innate fate. Saju-myeongri was imported to Goryeo in the middle period and widely spread and used among the learned men by the 14th century in late Goryeo. Entering Chosun Period in the 15th century, it settled down as a system through the Myeonggwahak(命課學) of Gwageo(科擧) and Chuijae(取才) exams.
Saju-myeongri evolved in three major frameworks until late Chosun: first, it was Myeonggwahak as a national study whose major duties were to choose an auspicious day(擇日) for the nation or the royal court before big and small events and to predict marital harmony(宮合) when choosing a royal spouse. Second, it was a discipline to be studied and inherited by blind fortune-tellers or Myeonggwamaeng(命課盲) at such organizations as Myeongtongsa(明通寺) and Maengcheong(盲廳) through oral statements and apprenticeship. Finally, it was a social evasive and anti-establishment system of ideas studied by small intellectuals who were critical of the royal court system, which started to reveal its problems in the 16th century, and anxious for social reform.
Saju-myeongri has various types of utilization according to the environments of the times and social demands in its transmission. Of its various utilization types, Japyeong-saju(子平四柱), Dang-saju(唐四柱), Tojeong-bigyeol(土亭秘訣), marital harmony(宮合), and choosing an auspicious day(擇日) still maintain their importance in Korean customs.
A more sophisticated form of Saju-myeongri, Japyeong-saju compares Saju to a scale. Saju thus pursues equilibrium on the scale, which is termed as neutralization. In such a state, the specific Saju brings riches and honors and longevity with no illness.
A popular form of Saju-myeongri among common people, Dang-saju evolves around Yeonji(年支), a zodiacal sign one was born under. It was affected by ancient Saju(古法四柱), which finds the principal factors of good or bad luck and fortune or misfortune in parents and families rather than individuals and their innate qualities.
Koreans' particular emphasis on the importance of fortune-telling at the beginning of a year created Tojeong-bigyeol, which is a culture of fortune-telling at the beginning of a year. Entering the 20th century, a person who was good at conjury made it and rode it on the reputation of Tojeong Lee Ji-ham(李之菡, 1517~1578).
Placing importance on human karma, marital harmony was originally intended to predict a spouse's luck and judge a marriage's luck with the Sajus of a couple before wedding. However, today its meanings and uses have widely extended compared to the past.
People usually choose an auspicious day in the expectation that an event held on an auspicious day will absorb its good energy and thus generate good results. They tend to change the complex principles of choosing an auspicious day easy for utilization through simplicity and rules rather than following them as they are.
There are two major perceptions implied in Saju-myeongri: one is the perception of organic bondage between nature and humanity, corresponding to the relationships between the universe and nature and human history, and the other is the perception of fundamental relationships between individuals and groups based on the idea that individuals come from their groups such as clans and families.
The concept of Five Blessings(五福), which have traditionally been pursued by Koreans, is reflected in the meanings of Six Gods(六神), which are the basis and core of Saju-myeongri. How to enjoy happiness is directly connected to the fate discourse. Koreans prefer free will in regard with fate but highly tend to incline toward determination by fate in practice. To them, Saju-palja is the object of ambivalent emotions for them to accept and follow as a framework of fate and to conquer and explore at the same time.
