Seoribyeol — "frost star" in Korean — writes the articles on this blog with the FortuneLeaf editorial team. The name reflects how the work is done here: reading the old texts of saju and the I Ching, the documented history of the tarot, and the conventions of Western astrology, then writing them up plainly for readers who want more than a one-line horoscope.
The beat is the fortune-telling traditions of East and West: saju (the Four Pillars), Tojeong Bigyeol and the I Ching; tarot from its card-game origins to modern spreads; Western astrology, numerology and dream symbolism; and the folk customs that surround them, from auspicious dates to leap-month rites. Recurring themes are where an interpretation actually comes from, how the schools disagree, and what these systems can and cannot honestly claim.
Verifiable facts carry names and dates. Interpretations that differ between schools are marked as such. Where a tradition has no scientific support, the article says so — this blog even keeps a guide to the Barnum effect, the psychology of why readings feel accurate. Corrections follow the policy on the editorial page and apply to every article signed with this name.
No personal readings by email, no client consultations, and no medical, legal or financial advice. The articles are reading material for reflection, not a substitute for professional judgement.
