Frequently asked

Q. Why are solar and lunar different?
A. Solar tracks Earth around the Sun (365.24 days); lunar tracks the Moon around Earth (29.5 days, ~354 days/year). Lunar inserts a leap month every 2–3 years to stay in sync. The tool uses the official KASI table.
Q. How is the Chinese zodiac determined?
A. Zodiac flips at Lunar New Year (or μž…μΆ˜), not Jan 1. People born in early January–early February often belong to the previous zodiac year β€” the tool gets this right.
Q. How are Korean ages defined?
A. The tool returns three: international (Western), counting (1 at birth, +1 every Jan 1), and legal (unified to international after the 2023.06.28 law).
Q. What are the 24 solar terms?
A. The 24 agricultural seasons divided by every 15Β° of true solar ecliptic. Famous ones include μž…μΆ˜ (315Β°), ν•˜μ§€ (90Β°), 동지 (270Β°). The tool auto-tags the term for your birth date.
