Born in 1994: the Wood Dog (甲戌) in Korean Saju
1994 is a Wood Dog year — 甲戌 in the 60-year cycle.
Dogs are loyal, honest and protective. They stand up for what is right and stay by their people.
Wood years shape people who grow and plan — idealistic, kind and focused on the future.
In Korean Saju the year starts at Ipchun (입춘), not on January 1. In 1994 Ipchun fell on February 4, 1994, 10:28 (Korea time, 01:28 UTC). Born before that? Your animal is the the Rooster.
