FAQ
- Does Kui Gang (Gwaegang-sal) mean a harsh fate?
- Rather than calling it a harsh fate, we read it as the two sides of forceful drive. Kui Gang marks day pillars where will, competitiveness, and charisma stand out — an uncompromising temperament that splits toward big achievement or big frustration. Direction and restraint decide which.
- I heard Kui Gang is bad for women — is that true?
- That's an old convention; ARO doesn't sort fortune by gender. Strong will and drive are the same asset for anyone — only how an era reads that temperament has changed. Reading a spirit star through a gender lens is, to us, interpretation without grounds.
