Born in January or early February 2027?
The 2027 Goat year began at Chinese New Year on Feb 6, 2027. If you were born from January 1 to Feb 5, 2027, your sign is the Fire Horse of 2026. The year ended on Jan 25, 2028, so birthdays in early 2028 up to that date still count as Goats.
The Korean saju year starts at Ipchun
In Korean saju (the Four Pillars), the year pillar changes at Ipchun, the start of spring — Feb 4, 2027 at 10:46 Korea time — not at Lunar New Year. A birthday from Feb 4 to Feb 5, 2027 is already 丁未 (Fire Goat) in a saju chart but still a Horse by Lunar New Year. In Korea, Seollal (Lunar New Year) falls on Feb 7, 2027, one day after the Chinese date, because the new moon arrives just before midnight in China and just after it in Korea (why the dates differ).
