NCT is built on an "infinite" concept — members rotate through units, but each person still carries a fixed birth chart. In Saju (사주, 四柱), that chart is the Four Pillars: year, month, day, and (when known) hour of birth, each with a Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch. Together they map personality, creative style, and how someone meets pressure — useful for fans who want a traditional Korean lens on the members they follow.
This is a complete NCT Saju guide for every currently active SM Entertainment NCT member as of 2026. We exclude members who have left the group (e.g. former promotional lineups no longer listed under NCT). Charts use solar calendar dates and our in-house Saju engine; birth time is not public for these idols, so the Hour Pillar is ?? for everyone — Year, Month, and Day still give a solid read of Day Master and Five Elements.
Members not included: 25 active NCT members only. Former or removed members (e.g. Taeil, Lucas, Sungchan, Shotaro, and others no longer promoted under NCT) are omitted so the charts match the current SM lineup.

How to read the pillars: The three visible columns are Year, Month, and Day (top character = Heavenly Stem, bottom = Earthly Branch in traditional notation). Your Day Master is the stem on the Day pillar — the core "you" in Saju.
What Stands Out Across NCT? — Collective Patterns
The 乙亥 (Wood Pig) year cluster
Johnny, Taeyong, Yuta, Kun, and Doyoung all share the same Year Pillar: 乙亥 — Yin Wood over the Pig. In the Chinese sexagenary cycle, babies born in early 1996 (before Lunar New Year) can still fall in the Pig year; our engine assigns 乙亥 to all five. That is a rare hyung-line signature: outwardly the Pig branch carries Water-rooted depth and social warmth; the 乙 stem adds flexible, artistic Wood. No wonder this cohort often reads as the group's emotional and visual backbone — same celestial "vintage," different Day Masters (Metal, Water, Earth, Fire) so they are not clones.
The 庚辰 (Metal Dragon) year wave
Renjun, Jeno, Haechan, Jaemin, and Yangyang share 庚辰 as the Year Pillar — Yang Metal Dragon. The Dragon is ambition, transformation, and stage presence; 庚 is raw Metal — discipline and edge. Five members born in the same year pillar is a massive harmonic in NCT's chart: the 2000 line carries a shared "forge" energy, while their Day Masters split across Metal, Wood, Water, and Yin Metal — so you get both unity and contrast (vocal power, dance line, visuals, each with a different inner element).
Fire-heavy vs Water-heavy charts
Ryo and Jaehee show strong Fire in visible pillars (Ryo especially: three Fire counts). Taeyong and Jaehyun lean Water- or Fire-rich depending on branch stacking. Xiaojun, Hendery, Jaemin skew Water Day Masters with Earth/Metal support — often strong in emotional delivery and timbre. Doyoung and Mark show heavy Earth — grounding, reliability, the member who holds the room.
No duplicate Day Masters — 10 stems well distributed
Across 25 people you see 甲, 乙, 丙, 丁, 戊, 己, 庚, 辛, 壬, 癸 all appear as Day Masters (some twice: e.g. 丁 for Kun, Jaehyun, Jungwoo; 癸 for Taeyong, Winwin, Hendery, Jaemin). NCT's "infinite" lineup is also elementally diverse — useful for sub-unit chemistry when compatibility is read pillar-by-pillar.
NCT 127 — Saju Snapshots
Johnny — 辛 (Sin) Yin Metal, Pig year. Polished Metal on 未 (Goat) day: aesthetic sense, precision, warmth beneath cool poise. No Fire in the count — charisma is forged, not flamboyant; fits a long-game idol career and MC calm.
Taeyong — 癸 (Gye) Yin Water, Pig year. Triple Water tendency with Fire in the month — depth plus performance heat. Water Day Masters read as intuitive and intense; the 巳 (Snake) day branch adds a spark of strategy and stage instinct.
Yuta — 庚 (Gyeong) Yang Metal, Pig year. Sword Metal on 寅 (Tiger): sharp, brave, direct. Wood in the chart feeds the Tiger branch — movement and growth — classic for a performer who hits hard visually.
Doyoung — 戊 (Mu) Yang Earth, Pig year. Four Earth in the pillar count — exceptional stability, backbone, "center" energy. Earth carries the group vocally and emotionally in Saju terms.
Jaehyun — 丁 (Jeong) Yin Fire, Ox year. Candle Fire on 亥 (Pig) day: warm, refined, romantic register. Water supports narrative depth — the ballad voice in elemental language.
Jungwoo — 丁 (Jeong) Yin Fire, Tiger year. Heavy Wood from Tiger month — growth, charm, flexibility wrapping a Fire core. Social ease with a bright inner flame.
Mark — 丙 (Byeong) Yang Fire, Rabbit year. Sun Fire on 戌 (Dog): loyalty, hustle, visible drive. Earth-heavy chart — practical, relentless work ethic beneath the rapper-idol flash.
Haechan — 乙 (Eul) Yin Wood, Dragon year. Flexible Wood on 未 (Goat): adaptable, melodic, resilient. Balanced elements — the "all-rounder" signature in Wood form.
NCT Dream — Saju Snapshots
(Mark and Haechan appear in 127 as well; charts above are the same person, same pillars.)
Renjun — 庚 (Gyeong) Yang Metal, Dragon year. Double 辰 (Dragon) in year and day stems/branches context — Metal on Earth Dragon: clarity, spine, vocal steel. Strong Earth/Metal — discipline and shine.
Jeno — 辛 (Sin) Yin Metal, Dragon year. Jewel Metal on 亥 (Pig): refined edge, softer finish than raw 庚. Triple Metal visible — precision, visual line, controlled power.
Jaemin — 癸 (Gye) Yin Water, Dragon year. Water on 卯 (Rabbit): quick mind, fluid charm, "slippery" grace in the best sense — hard to pin down, easy to watch.
Chenle — 己 (Gi) Yin Earth, Snake year. Earth on 丑 (Ox) day: steady, stubborn in a good way, comedic and musical grounding.
Jisung — 甲 (Gap) Yang Wood, Horse year. Big Wood on 辰 (Dragon): upward drive, leadership potential, youthful yang growth — the maknae who still reads as "next branch" energy.
WayV — Saju Snapshots
Kun — 丁 (Jeong) Yin Fire, Pig year. Fire on 酉 (Rooster): performance polish, leadership warmth, late-night leader vibe in Fire-on-Metal terms.
Ten — 甲 (Gap) Yang Wood, Rat year. Yang Wood on 午 (Horse): explosive creativity, dance as growth — Wood feeds Fire in the cycle; chart carries both — stage fire backed by Wood drive.
Winwin — 癸 (Gye) Yin Water, Ox year. Yin Water on 卯 (Rabbit) day: soft clarity, artistic instinct, Earth–Metal support — dance discipline with a fluid surface.
Xiaojun — 壬 (Im) Yang Water, Rabbit year. Ocean Water on 辰 (Dragon): huge voice, huge feeling — Water meets Earth reservoir; emotional delivery is the chart's headline.
Hendery — 癸 (Gye) Yin Water, Rabbit year. Yin Water on 未 (Goat) day: wit, adaptability, charm — a chart that flows like variety chemistry and stage ease.
Yangyang — 辛 (Sin) Yin Metal, Dragon year. Yin Metal on 丑 (Ox): cool surface, dry humor, Metal-Earth craft — rap and variety energy with structure.
NCT Wish — Saju Snapshots
Sion — 己 (Gi) Yin Earth, Horse year. Earth on 卯 (Rabbit): gentle authority, growth-oriented leadership for a young unit.
Riku — 壬 (Im) Yang Water, Goat year. Big Water on 申 (Monkey): quick, clever, resourceful — variety and performance agility.
Yushi — 甲 (Gap) Yang Wood, Monkey year. Triple Wood in the count — pure growth, visual "tree" energy, ideal for front-line performance presence.
Jaehee — 丙 (Byeong) Yang Fire, Rooster year. Sun Fire on 子 (Rat): brightness, tension, potential — young Fire over Water day branch creates dynamic, watchable friction.
Ryo — 庚 (Gyeong) Yang Metal, Pig year. Sword on 午 (Horse): speed, heat, triple Fire in elements — explosive stage growth; needs grounding years to balance.
Sakuya — 丙 (Byeong) Yang Fire, Pig year. Sun Fire on 辰 (Dragon): charisma + transformation arc — classic "dragon's child" mix for a rookie with long runway.
2026 — Year of the Fire Horse (丙午) and NCT
2026 is 丙午 — Yang Fire stem, Fire Horse branch. Fire years energize visibility, debate, and bold moves. For NCT:
- Metal Day Masters (Yuta, Renjun, Jeno, Yangyang, Ryo) often feel pressure and opportunity together — Fire "forges" Metal; schedules and scrutiny intensify but so does polish.
- Water Day Masters (Taeyong, Winwin, Hendery, Jaemin, Riku) meet Fire as challenge and color — emotional range and narrative (dramas, OSTs, solo colors) can spike.
- Wood Day Masters (Ten, Haechan, Jisung, Yushi) use Fire as output — creativity, releases, fan-facing wins.
This is collective weather, not individual fortune — use it as mood, not prediction.
