Born on May 1? 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 May 1 in different years can be completely different people. Find your year below.
Your birth month: the Dragon month
May 1 falls in the Dragon month (辰), late spring, when Earth is strongest. You were born as spring turns to summer, in a month of Earth holding Water. Dragon-month people carry more than they show. At work you're the one who quietly keeps big things together.
May 1: 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.
