1 min read
Direct answer
They are different symbolic languages for the same birth information. Neither replaces the other.
The difference
Western astrology positions planets against the zodiac. Saju uses Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.
- Birth time matters in both, for different placements.
- Comparing them is reflection, not a contest.
