Born in 1946: the Fire Dog (丙戌) in Korean Saju
1946 is a Fire Dog year — 丙戌 in the 60-year cycle.
Dogs are loyal, honest and protective. They stand up for what is right and stay by their people.
Fire years shape people who shine — passionate, expressive and quick to act.
In Korean Saju the year starts at Ipchun (입춘), not on January 1. In 1946 Ipchun fell on February 4, 1946, 19:05 (Korea time, 10:05 UTC). Born before that? Your animal is the the Rooster.
