Born on January 2? 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 2 in different years can be completely different people. Find your year below.
Your birth month: the Rat month
January 2 falls in the Rat month (子), midwinter, when Water is strongest. You were born at the peak of Water, the longest nights of the year. Rat-month people are resourceful and see opportunities early. At work you plan three moves ahead.
January 2: 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.
