Actor · Born 1976-03-25 (public profile · birth time unknown)
Bing-Zi (丙子) day pillar · A competing combination where two Bing stems fight over one Xin mirrors a career spent switching between comedy and sincerity
The Four Pillars (Saju)
Five-Element Balance
Notable Stars (神煞)
Supreme Ultimate Noble — a foremost benefactor drawn by the heavens — a way opens where things were blocked
Canopy Star — a star of art and spirit that deepens in solitude — loneliness and creation paired
General Star — a commanding star that leads the group
Six Harms Star — a signal that senses small frictions in relationships keenly
Flying Blade — the shadow of Yang Blade — a signal to guard against hasty decisions
Branch punishment — 卯子 punishment — branch pressure that asks for discipline, repetition and self-control
Sukuyo — 27 and 28 Lunar Mansions
The 27-mansion value is the natal lodge; the 28-mansion value is the lodge assigned to the calendar day. Only the calculated mansions are shown here, without adding a personality claim.
Luck Timeline (Saju)
Ten-year major cycles and annual cycles computed from the public birth date (as of 2026).
Only degree-checked contacts between slow transiting planets and natal personal planets are shown for 2026.
- “Softening Outlines” — Transit Neptune crossing natal Sun — a long backdrop where identity meets the theme of dissolution (orb 0.7°)
- “Imagination Seeps In” — Transit Neptune crossing natal Mercury — a long backdrop where thought & voice meets the theme of dissolution (orb 6.8°)
The timeline shows calculated shifts and planetary contacts; it does not fix a specific event in advance.

Full interpretation
After debuting in 1995 with the Silver Prize at KBS Superstar Talent, Cha Tae-hyun broke through with the dramas "Haebaragi" (1998) and "Haetbit Sogeuro" (1999), then became the face of Korean romantic comedy in Kwak Jae-yong's "My Sassy Girl" (2001, opposite Jun Ji-hyun), winning Best New Actor at the Blue Dragon Film Awards. He went on to lead box-office hits including "Gwasok Seukaendeul" (2008, 8.2 million admissions) and "Hello Ghost" (2010, 3.01 million admissions). This trajectory sits on top of a Direct Seal pattern — a structure tied to cultivated taste and artistic sensitivity — with that groundwork showing up as warmth turned into expressiveness and charm.
Looking closer at the chart, a single stem of Xin is contested by two stems of Bing at once — a competing combination that never resolves cleanly in one direction, leaving a persistent duality rather than a single fixed outcome. Between the year branch Chen and month branch Mao sits a harm relationship, pointing to quiet friction and wear along the way. At the same time, the year branch Chen and day branch Zi form a half-combination pulling toward the Water direction, gathering momentum even as it scatters elsewhere. Between the month branch Mao and day branch Zi sits a punishment known as the "punishment of no propriety" — instinct and directness arriving before formality, colliding or connecting without waiting for procedure.
In the astrological chart, the Sun sits in Aries, Mercury and Venus both fall in Pisces, and Mars sits in Cancer. The tightest aspect, a 1.0° trine between Mercury and Saturn, lends structured discipline to how thought becomes speech. A 1.5° square between Venus and Neptune adds a layer of romantic idealization — and occasional blur — to how image and affection come across.
"A Direct Seal pattern's polish, sharpened by a competing combination and a punishment of no propriety, built the face of Korean romantic comedy."
Structure-by-structure reading
A Competing Combination and a Punishment of No Propriety
One Xin contested by two Bing stems never resolves cleanly, echoing a career that moves between different tones of role; a harm relationship between Chen and Mao marks quiet friction along the way, while a half-combination toward Water and a punishment of no propriety add both gathering momentum and instinctive directness.
Five Marked Stars
Peach Blossom Canopy, Leadership, Harm, and Hidden Blade stars combine artistic sensitivity, commanding presence, relational wear, and unconventional charm — a fitting mix for an actor who needs both craft and mass appeal.
Cap, Bath, and Embryo
The year pillar's Cap stage lines up with a formal 1995 debut, the month pillar's Bath stage with the late-1990s emergence of a new on-screen persona, and the day pillar's Embryo stage with an openness to whatever role comes next.
Tightest Aspects
A 1.0° Mercury-Saturn trine steadies how thought becomes speech; a 1.5° Venus-Neptune square adds romantic idealization; a Sun-Mars square and a Mars-Jupiter sextile add drive and expansion.
Planetary Placements
Aries Sun brings direct, immediate energy; Pisces Mercury and Venus soften expression with imagination well-suited to comic timing; Cancer Mars roots ambition in emotional loyalty.
This reading was built entirely from placements that don't depend on birth time — the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars — since no birth time is on record; Please read this as a reference interpretation only, not a prediction of real events or the future.

FAQ
Even without the hour pillar, the six known characters carry the main structure — the day master, day pillar and elemental balance. Areas governed by the hour pillar (such as late-life currents) are simply not read, and this page follows that rule.
No. It is a records-based reading from the publicly known birth date only, unrelated to the person's actual character or private life, and meant for entertainment. Saju never defines a person.
