⚡Sal (afflictions)

The peach-blossom energy said to draw people to you effortlessly. Tradition holds that popularity and gossip arrive together with it.

The energy of the relay-station horse that never stands still. Once read as a wanderer's fate, today it is read as the luck of expansion and travel.

A folk cycle in which misfortune is said to visit each zodiac sign for three years out of every nine — a period for caution rather than fear.

The two 'unpaired' slots in the sixty-year cycle. Tradition reads them as zones of hollowness and scattered rewards — and also of spiritual depth.

A warmth that seeps out rather than shines out. Where dohwasal is a flower in full bloom, hongyeomsal is an ember glowing under ash.

The sal of an 'open ghost gate' — read in folklore as spirit-sensitivity, and in modern terms as deep intuition and a finely tuned nervous system.
