Reading Myself:
First Steps into Saju



Did you feel lost because you couldn't understand the meaning of the characters even after opening a Saju app?


I also learned through over 20 years of handling servers and large-scale payment service infrastructure that complex structures can only be read when there is an order and a standard.
In this lecture, we will set up the four pillars using the Manseryeok, connect the Heavenly Stems, Earthly Branches, and the Ten Gods to

directly read your own Saju and organize it into an interpretation.

By following the flow of the Great Fortune (Daeun) and Annual Fortune (Seun), experience Saju not as a prediction, but as a map for understanding yourself.



What you can gain from this course

Read the flow of your life through twenty-two characters.

The roles of the four pillars and the heavenly stems/earthly branches can be learned so that you can explain the structure of your own Saju (Four Pillars of Destiny). Rather than vague interpretations, you will establish criteria for reading the relationships between the characters.

You will construct your own Saju chart using the Manseoryeok (Ten Thousand Year Calendar) and interpret the role of each character using the Ten Gods (Sipsin). By applying the Daewun (Great Fortune) and Sewun (Annual Fortune), you will organize the flow of each period and complete a full written interpretation.

Saju is not a book of prophecies, but a map for examining the flow of life. From the perspective of an engineer who has structurally analyzed complex servers and the causes of failures for over twenty years, I will break down difficult concepts according to order and standards.

After completing the course, you will be able to establish your own Saju and explain it through interpretation.
I will alleviate the points that felt overwhelming when first learning and provide a standard for you to continue your studies on your own.


An engineer who used to track down late-night system failures encountered Saju (Korean astrology).

I have operated Linux servers for over 20 years and migrated data centers to the cloud.

I monitored hundreds of instances in large-scale payment services and tracked down the causes of failures every dawn.

Even complex systems reveal answers when you break down their structures and roles. Similarly, in Saju, one must first examine the relationships between the four pillars and the twenty-two characters.

Even those who felt overwhelmed by the characters displayed on the app can complete their own interpretation by following the flow of the Manseryeok, Sipsin, and the major and yearly cycles.

Learn the meanings of the twenty-two characters and establish the structure of the four pillars. Instead of vague fortune-telling, you will gain a standard for reading the flow. Start by looking at the first character today.

Hello, I'm Frank.

I am an infrastructure engineer who has been wrestling with servers for over 20 years. Starting with Linux server operations, I am now in charge of the cloud infrastructure for a large-scale payment service. My daily life involves migrating from data centers to AWS, managing hundreds of instances, and tracing the causes of failures in the early hours of the morning.

The reason I created this course is simple.

I often received questions like these from those around me: "I managed to connect to the server, but I don't know what to do next." "There are so many instance types; which one should I choose?" These are the exact same points where I got stuck at first. However, when I looked for resources, I found that most of them were written for people who already knew what they were doing.

So I decided to create the course I wish I had when I first started learning.

My lectures are based on three principles.

First, I help you understand rather than memorize. Instead of just listing commands, I explain why we use them in the first place.

Second, I boldly omit unnecessary content. I do not increase the volume by including information that is useless to beginners right now.

Third, I also talk about what doesn't work. Instead of just listing the pros, I clearly point out cases where it might not be a good fit. For someone who has to make decisions in the field, that is more important.

If you feel a sense of "Ah, I should start from here" after listening to the lecture, then my goal has been achieved.

Please feel free to leave any questions you may have at any time.
