Born in 1986: the Fire Tiger (丙寅) in Korean Saju
1986 is a Fire Tiger year — 丙寅 in the 60-year cycle.
Tigers are brave, independent and full of energy. They protect the underdog and hate being told what to do.
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 1986 Ipchun fell on February 4, 1986, 12:02 (Korea time, 03:02 UTC). Born before that? Your animal is the the Ox.
- Sound element (納音)
- Fire in the Furnace — talent shaped by hard work and heat
In 2026 people born in 1986 turn 40.
