Sewoon
Year-by-year fortune — the annual climate of destiny
Sewoon (歲運, Annual Fortune) refers to the influence of each year's Stem and Branch on the natal BaZi chart. If Daeun is the 10-year season, Sewoon is the year's specific weather — both together reveal the full picture.
Sewoon is the influence of the current year's Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch on an individual's natal chart. For example, 2026 is Bing-Wu year (丙午), meaning Yang Fire (Bing) and Horse (Wu) energies affect all charts — but the specific impact differs by individual natal chart.
Daeun is the 10-year 'season'; Sewoon is the annual 'weather'. Even within a favorable Daeun, a challenging Sewoon year may bring difficulties. And within a challenging Daeun, a favorable Sewoon can bring temporary improvement. Both must be analyzed together.
Examine how the annual Stem and Branch interact with the natal Day Master, Month Branch, and Day Branch. Annual elements that support the useful element (Yongshin) = favorable year. Combinations (He) or Clashes (Chong) in that year's element signal changes in the corresponding life domain.
