What is Tojeong Bigyeol?
Tojeong Bigyeol (토정비결) is a New Year fortune said to have been written by the Joseon scholar Tojeong Lee Ji-ham in the 1500s. Families in Korea have long gathered around Lunar New Year to look up their fortune for the year ahead. Your birth year, month and day and the year you're reading are turned into a three-digit code, one of 144 readings.
How is your reading found?
The upper digit (1 to 8) is your Korean age that year plus the year's number, divided by 8. The middle digit (1 to 6) is the length of your lunar birth month that year (30 or 29 days) plus the month's number, divided by 6. The lower digit (1 to 3) is your lunar birth day plus that day's number, divided by 3. A remainder of 0 counts as 8, 6 or 3. Open "How your reading was calculated" in your result to see every step.
FAQ
I only know my solar birthday.
That's fine. It is converted to the Korean lunar calendar automatically using Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute data.
What is Korean age?
Tojeong Bigyeol traditionally uses Korean age: the reading year minus your lunar birth year, plus one.
Are these the original texts?
No. The method follows tradition, but the 144 readings were newly written by Fortune Alley for people today. Enjoy them for fun.
