What TOMORROW X TOGETHER Soobin's 丁酉 day pillar says about his ideal partner — read from his birth chart, not from an interview.
In Korean astrology, Soobin's ideal partner is bright and charming. His 丁酉 day pillar — the part of a Saju chart that describes what someone is drawn to — has a spouse palace made of a single stem, and that stem is 편재, the sparkling form of the partner star. He is drawn to someone sociable who lights up a room.
Soobin's day pillar is a warm candle standing beside polished metal. A small, steady flame next to something that catches every bit of light it is given.
He is soft-spoken, and people tend to read that as the whole story. It is not. Quiet is his register, not his preference in other people.
What the chart points to is sparkle. Not someone as measured as he is — that would be a very calm room with nothing happening in it, and he would be the one expected to start things.
He is drawn to someone bright and charming. Sociable, a little dazzling, the person who lights up a room without seeming to work at it. Warmth and charisma are what pull him in. But he keeps it tender rather than loud: he wants the glow, not the noise, and someone who performs at him rather than beside him would tire him out.
Soobin's 酉 holds one stem and nothing else: 辛 Metal. 子, 卯 and 酉 are the three pure branches, undiluted by anything.
Against his 丁 day master that single stem is 편재 — and 편재 is his partner star. That is the unusual part. A pure branch normally means the position says one simple thing; here the one thing it says is the partner indicator itself, in its bright, mobile, attention-catching form.
辛 is also the ornamental form of Metal — jewellery rather than a blade. So the entire content of the position that describes what he wants is something polished that reflects light. There is nothing else in there to complicate it.
Soobin was born on 5 December 2000, in the 亥 month — early winter, when Fire is at its weakest and water is rising.
《穷通宝鉴》 on 丁火 in this month asks for 甲 to feed the flame, and 甲 is sitting hidden inside that 亥 month branch. The chart has what it needs to keep burning, but only just.
There is a neat piece of structure underneath: his 辰 year branch combines with his 酉 day branch. The two ends of his chart are linked directly through the spouse palace, which is part of why this position carries so much weight in the reading.
A small flame in winter does not want more quiet around it. It wants something in the room that reflects the light back.

Both halves — 丁 and 壬 combine at the stem, 酉 and 辰 at the branch, the same combination his own year already makes with his day.
甲 is exactly what 《穷通宝鉴》 names for a winter 丁, over the same branch combination. Feeding rather than pairing — and it is Taehyun's day pillar.
His partner star out in the open, with 巳 and 酉 making half the Metal frame and 巳 supporting a day master in its weakest season.
卯 against 酉 is a direct clash on the spouse palace.
Another 酉 makes 자형. Two polished surfaces reflect at each other rather than at anything else.
甲辰 is listed above as one of Soobin's matches, and it is Taehyun's own day pillar. Their two spouse palaces combine directly. Taehyun's 甲辰 reading →
Two full charts read against each other is the actual method. Compare two birth dates and see where they support each other and where they push.
COMPARE TWO CHARTSSoobin was born on 5 December 2000, giving him a 丁酉 day pillar and a 丁亥 month. Idol birth times are not public, so this works from three pillars rather than four. How day pillars work, and how far this method goes →
Your day pillar comes from your birth date, not your birth month, which is why a star sign cannot give it to you. Free, and about a minute.
FIND MY DAY PILLARSomeone bright and charming. His 丁酉 day pillar has a spouse palace made of a single stem — 辛, his partner star in its most polished form — so he is drawn to a sociable, slightly dazzling partner who lights up a room, kept tender rather than loud.
Someone as measured as he is. That produces a very calm room with nothing happening in it, and he ends up being the one expected to start things.
丁酉, from his birth date of 5 December 2000. In Saju the day pillar is the relationship indicator: the stem is the person and the branch is the spouse palace, 배우자궁.
壬辰 combines at both the stem and the branch. 甲辰 brings what the classics ask for on a winter 丁 over the same branch pairing, and 辛巳 puts his partner star in the open. 卯 clashes with his spouse palace and another 酉 makes 자형.
His 酉 branch holds a single stem, 辛 Metal, which is 편재 against his day master — his own partner star, in its bright and ornamental form. 酉 is one of only three pure branches, so there is nothing else in the position at all.
