Born on August 18? Here's your birth element
In the Korean birth chart, your birth element comes from the exact day you were born, not just the date on the calendar. That's why two people born on August 18 in different years can be completely different people. Find your year below.
Your birth month: the Monkey month
August 18 falls in the Monkey month (申), early autumn, when Metal is strongest. You were born as Metal arrives and the air turns crisp. Monkey-month people are clever and quick to change course. At work you solve the problem everyone else was stuck on.
