Born in 1960: the Metal Rat (庚子) in Korean Saju
1960 is a Metal Rat year — 庚子 in the 60-year cycle.
Rats are quick, clever and resourceful. They notice opportunities early and get along in almost any crowd. Their challenge is worry — the mind keeps counting.
Metal years shape people with backbone — principled, determined and precise.
In Korean Saju the year starts at Ipchun (입춘), not on January 1. In 1960 Ipchun fell on February 5, 1960, 04:31 (Korea time, 19:31 UTC). Born before that? Your animal is the the Pig.

- Earth on the Wall — structure and reliability
In 2026 people born in 1960 turn 66.
Rat in 2026
Your animal clashes with this year's animal. Expect movement: a new home, a new job, travel or breaking an old pattern. Move on purpose instead of by force.
Rat in 2027
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.
