Born in 1958: the Earth Dog (戊戌) in Korean Saju
1958 is a Earth Dog year — 戊戌 in the 60-year cycle.
Dogs are loyal, honest and protective. They stand up for what is right and stay by their people.
Earth years shape people who hold things together — stable, practical and loyal.
In Korean Saju the year starts at Ipchun (입춘), not on January 1. In 1958 Ipchun fell on February 4, 1958, 16:48 (Korea time, 07:48 UTC). Born before that? Your animal is the the Rooster.
