2027 — the Year of the Fire Goat
2027 pairs the stem 丁 — yin fire, the fire of a candle or a lamp — with the branch 未, the Goat, the warm, dry earth of late summer. Fire feeds earth, so the top of the year nourishes the bottom: a gentle, cultivating year that favors care, creativity, home and slow building, with heat and short tempers as its weak spot.
When the Fire Goat year begins
Chinese New Year: Feb 6, 2027 — the Goat year runs to Jan 25, 2028. Korean Seollal: Feb 7, 2027, a day later, because the new moon arrives just before midnight in China and just after it in Korea. Korean saju: the year pillar turns at Ipchun, Feb 4, 2027 at 10:46 Korea time. Why Ipchun, not New Year → · All 24 solar terms of 2027

Samjae ends for the Pig, Rabbit and Goat
In Korean folk tradition, samjae (三災, “three calamities”) is a three-year stretch, once every twelve years, when a sign is advised to take extra care. For the Pig, Rabbit and Goat it runs from 2025 to 2027, and 2027 is the final, “leaving” year (nal-samjae) — traditionally a time to wrap up and consolidate rather than take big risks. It is a custom to be mindful of, not a reason for fear.

FAQ
What animal is 2027?
The Goat, sometimes translated as the Sheep or the Ram, with the Fire element: 丁未 (Ding Wei), a Yin Fire Goat year. In the Chinese calendar it runs from Feb 6, 2027 to Jan 25, 2028.
When does the Year of the Goat start?
Chinese New Year falls on Feb 6, 2027; Korea’s Seollal comes a day later, on Feb 7, 2027. In Korean saju the year pillar turns at Ipchun on Feb 4, 2027, which is why a baby born on February 5 can be a Goat in a saju chart and a Horse by Lunar New Year.
Which zodiac signs have the best 2027?
the Horse (95, secret friends with the Goat), the Pig (93, wood trine with the Goat) and the Rabbit (91, wood trine with the Goat). The scores weigh each sign’s branch against the Goat’s and how its element meets the year’s Fire and Earth.
Which signs need more care in 2027?
the Ox (60, opposite the Goat), the Dog (66, friction with the Goat) and the Rat (66, harm and wonjin with the Goat). A lower score marks more friction to manage — moves, misunderstandings, paperwork — not a bad year by fate, and every sign page lists its smoothest months.
Which signs have samjae in 2027?
The Pig, Rabbit and Goat. 2027 is the last of their three samjae years (2025–2027), the “leaving” year that Korean custom treats as a time to wrap things up rather than start big. It is folk tradition, not a forecast.
