START HERE
Enter your solar-calendar birthday and the local time where you were born. Some products let you select an unknown birth time. In those forms, 13:00 in the Korean time zone is used as a placeholder, so the reading is less specific than one with a known birth time.
Solar or lunar calendar?
fateroom's saju date inputs use the solar calendar. If you know a lunar birthday, check the birth year and leap-month status, convert it to the corresponding solar date, and enter that date. Entering a lunar date directly can produce a chart for a different day.
Do not assume a recorded administrative birthday is the same as the actual birth date. The input form does not automatically convert lunar dates.
What happens if I do not know my birth time?
Lifetime, love, compatibility, Dark Love, Joseon Rebirth, and consultation forms support proceeding without a known birth time. These inputs use 13:00 and the Korean time zone as defaults. They do not omit the hour pillar.
Treat time-sensitive interpretations as provisional. If you were born outside Korea and do not know the time, be aware that the Korean time-zone default still applies. Input options vary by product, so also read the form's instructions.
If you later find an accurate record, you can use it for another reading. A reading with new information may be a separate purchase; check the price before opening it.
What if I was born abroad?
Enter the date and time recorded locally at your birthplace, then choose that location's time zone. Do not convert it to Korean time first and then select a foreign time zone.
Use 15:00 for 3 p.m. and 00:00 for midnight. Check the date carefully around midnight. Use your birthplace, not the place where you currently live.
Can I check compatibility without my partner's birth time?
Yes. You enter each person's information separately and can select an unknown time for either person. One person's time can be known while the other's is unknown.
The placeholder described above applies to the person with the unknown time. Read the result as a starting point for discussing differences, not a definitive verdict on the relationship.
Check these details before starting
Consistent input makes readings easier to compare.
- Use a solar date; include leap-month information when converting a lunar birthday.
- Check a.m./p.m. and 24-hour time.
- For an overseas birth, select the local birth date, time, and time zone.
- If you do not know the time, read the unknown-time option instead of inventing one.
Common questions
- Can a few minutes make a difference?
- A chart can change near time, date, or seasonal boundaries. Enter the recorded time as accurately as you know it, without inventing precision.
- What information should I prepare?
- Prepare your solar birth date, birth time, gender, and birthplace. Compatibility readings also need your partner’s information. If you do not know the time, check the unknown-time instructions in the form.
- How is my information managed?
- Read the privacy policy for storage and account-deletion practices. Storage can vary by feature; also check the notice on the relevant input screen.
