Martin Scorsese Saju Reading

Day pillar 甲戌
Birth details
1942-11-17
Birth city
Queens

Born in Queens, Martin Scorsese has a 甲戌 day pillar. Read the 甲 Day Master alongside the 辛亥 month pillar for a Korean astrology perspective on the craft of a film director.

CHAPTER 01

The reading

01

A closer look at 甲戌

Yang Wood is likened to a tree trunk: a direction established early can support many branches later.

The second character in 甲戌, 戌, sits directly beneath 甲. Read that pairing before comparing the day with 壬午, the year pillar shared by many people born in the same period.

02

The working rhythm of 辛亥

Martin Scorsese has been a member of American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

In the month branch, Indirect Resource describes learning through an unexpected connection between ideas. For Martin Scorsese, try reading that theme through the cut that shifts the viewer’s attention. It is a detail the audience can notice directly, without having to guess what the artist intended.

03

Cooperation through Indirect Wealth

The branch beneath the Day Master gives a second relationship, Indirect Wealth. Its theme is noticing an opportunity beyond a familiar audience. Compare it with the month’s Indirect Resource: do the two positions call for a similar response, or do they put the emphasis somewhere else?

04

Counting the visible elements

Across 壬午, 辛亥 and 甲戌, Water has the highest visible count (2 out of six for each leading element). These are counts of characters. The season represented by 亥 also matters when judging how those elements function.

A zero means that element is absent from these six characters. It does not mean someone lacks a talent or quality.

CHAPTER 04

A little Saju lesson
