Born on January 17? 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 January 17 in different years can be completely different people. Find your year below.
Your birth month: the Ox month
January 17 falls in the Ox month (丑), late winter, when Earth is strongest. You were born in cold late-winter Earth. Ox-month people are steady and hard to stop. At work you keep going long after others quit.
January 17: your character by birth year
Your day mark is the center of the chart: the element you were born as plus an animal, one of 60 characters. Born after 11 PM? Use the next day's date. Your year animal changes in early February, so check the year column carefully.
