Born in 2004: the Wood Monkey (甲申) in Korean Saju
2004 is a Wood Monkey year — 甲申 in the 60-year cycle.
Monkeys are clever, funny and inventive. They solve problems fast and get bored with routine.
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 2004 Ipchun fell on February 4, 2004, 20:54 (Korea time, 11:54 UTC). Born before that? Your animal is the the Goat.
- Sound element (納音)
- Water in the Spring — a fresh source of ideas that never dries
In 2026 people born in 2004 turn 22.
