Romantic Saju: Five Signs of a Chart That Loves Easily
Are you the romantic type? In saju, five things are checked first: Peach Blossom, Output, Resource, a harmony on your Day Branch and a partner star. We counted them across 60,480 calculated charts, and about 8.5% have four or more. Enter a birth date below to see how many your chart has. It's meant as fun and a light reference, not a verdict.
The five signs
These are the same rules our 10-year love report uses to describe your love style and charm, so the article and the report always agree.
| Sign | How it is checked | What it suggests | Charts with it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Peach Blossom (桃花) | The Peach Blossom branch for your Day or Year Branch group (one of 子 午 卯 酉) appears among your branches | A charm that catches the eye without trying | 38.5% |
| Output (Eating God + Hurting Officer) | Output makes up 20% or more of your ten-god balance | Showing love in words and actions | 47.3% |
| Resource (Direct + Indirect Resource) | Resource makes up 25% or more | Deep listening and emotional empathy | 32.6% |
| Day Branch harmony | Your Day Branch forms a Six Harmony with your Year, Month or Hour Branch | Holding on to a bond once it is made | 23.2% |
| Partner star | At least one Wealth star (for men) or Officer star (for women) shows in a stem or a main branch stem | A relationship star is visible in the chart | 78.7% |
Percentages come from 60,480 charts: every other day from 1980 to 2009, six two-hour birth times, men and women. The partner star follows the traditional reading, Wealth for men and Officer for women.
How many does your chart have?
Everything is calculated in your browser and nothing is sent anywhere. If you leave the birth time out, only the year, month and day pillars are used, so signs that depend on the hour pillar are left out.
The five signs, one by one
Peach Blossom: charm that turns heads
Peach Blossom (桃花) is one of the symbolic stars. Four branches can carry it — 子, 午, 卯 and 酉 — and which one counts depends on your branch group: 申子辰 gives 酉, 寅午戌 gives 卯, 巳酉丑 gives 午 and 亥卯未 gives 子. Older books read it as a flirty or restless star. Today it is mostly read as charm, popularity and social ease. If you have it, be clear with people you are not interested in, so your warmth isn't misread.
Output: love shown in words and actions
Output is the energy you give out, so it shows up as speech, writing and expression. People with plenty of it say what they feel, plan the surprise and remember the details. The risk is a sharp tongue when you feel hurt, so pause before sending the message. See the ten gods for the difference between Eating God and Hurting Officer.
Resource: listening all the way through
Resource is the energy that supports and shelters you. In love it appears as patience, empathy and a deep reading of the other person's mood. You fall hardest for someone you connect with emotionally. Because you think a lot, you may be slow to say how you feel, so say it more often than seems necessary.
Day Branch harmony: holding on
The Day Branch is the "spouse palace." When it forms a Six Harmony (子丑, 寅亥, 卯戌, 辰酉, 巳申 or 午未) with another pillar's branch, the pull between them is strong, and the traditional reading is that you keep a bond once it has formed. A clash or punishment on the palace is read as a relationship with more change, not a bad one. More in combinations and clashes.
Partner star: the relationship star
Tradition treats Wealth as the partner star for men and Officer for women. Having at least one in the chart means a relationship star is already visible. Not having one doesn't mean no relationship; it simply becomes clear when luck brings it in. Three or more can mean many people approach you and your heart gets pulled in several directions.
What your count means
| Signs | Share of charts | In one line |
|---|---|---|
| Four or five | 8.5% | A strongly romantic chart. Set your standards early, since you have plenty of charm to choose from. |
| Three | 27.6% | Several strengths. Lean on the strongest one or two. |
| Two or fewer | 63.9% | The most common group. Slow-building, one-person-at-a-time love suits you. |
"Romantic" here is less about how many relationships you have and more about how much heart you put in. Someone with a single Day Branch harmony can be as devoted as anyone.
How this site calculates it
The checker calls the same function as our love report. Peach Blossom is looked up from the Day and Year Branch and searched for among all your branches (six characters if the birth time is unknown). Output and Resource use the ten-god balance, hidden stems included. The harmony check looks at your Day Branch against the Year, Month and Hour Branches. The partner star counts the Wealth or Officer gods on the stems and main branch stems. The percentages above were calculated with the same engine.
Frequently asked questions
Does Peach Blossom mean I will cheat? No. It is read as charm and popularity. How you act in a relationship is up to you.
What if none of the five signs show up? Energy missing from the birth chart can arrive through luck pillars and annual luck. The love report shows the years when connection tends to arrive.
Do I need my birth time? Not strictly. Without it the check uses three pillars, so the hour pillar's signs are not counted. A rough time still helps.
What about compatibility? One person's romantic style is not the same as how two people fit. See compatibility for pairing two charts.
