Chart Structure & Useful God (basic)

Day Master strength + favorable element

Chart Structure describes the overall framework of a Saju chart, while the Useful God refers to the Five Element that balances it. Both are core concepts in classical Myeongri. You can get a basic estimate by first checking the strength or weakness of the Day Master, then identifying a Useful God that supplements what's missing. Interpretations of Chart Structure and the Useful God vary even among practitioners, so treat this simplified estimate as a general direction rather than a final answer.
