Born in 1951: the Metal Rabbit (辛卯) in Korean Saju
1951 is a Metal Rabbit year — 辛卯 in the 60-year cycle.
Rabbits are gentle, tasteful and diplomatic. They avoid conflict, make spaces beautiful and are often luckier than they think.
Metal years shape people with backbone — principled, determined and precise.
In Korean Saju the year starts at Ipchun (입춘), not on January 1. In 1951 Ipchun fell on February 5, 1951, 00:04 (Korea time, 15:04 UTC). Born before that? Your animal is the the Tiger.
- Sound element (納音)
- Pine and Cypress Wood — evergreen — strong in hard winters
In 2026 people born in 1951 turn 75.
Rabbit in 2026
Your animal has a calm relationship with this year's animal: no big storms. Results depend on your own plan — a good year to build steadily.
Samjae alert: this is your middle 'three calamities' year (눌삼재), traditionally the heaviest. Koreans keep plans simple, avoid big risks and look after their health.

Your animal is in the same triad as this year's animal. Your group's energy is strong — teamwork, popularity and good timing are on your side.
Samjae: this is your last 'three calamities' year (날삼재) — the cycle is ending. Finish things, let go of what didn't work, and get ready for a lighter year.
