Born in 2010: the Metal Tiger (庚寅) in Korean Saju
2010 is a Metal Tiger year — 庚寅 in the 60-year cycle.
Tigers are brave, independent and full of energy. They protect the underdog and hate being told what to do.
Metal years shape people with backbone — principled, determined and precise.
In Korean Saju the year starts at Ipchun (입춘), not on January 1. In 2010 Ipchun fell on February 4, 2010, 07:39 (Korea time, 22:39 UTC). Born before that? Your animal is the the Ox.
- Sound element (納音)
- Pine and Cypress Wood — evergreen — strong in hard winters
In 2026 people born in 2010 turn 16.
