2027, the Year of the Fire Goat

The year 丁未: the stem 丁, Yin Fire, over the branch 未, Goat, Earth. Below: when the year starts, which signs offend Tai Sui and what 2027 holds for each of the twelve signs.

Chinese New Year 2027 falls on 6 February, and the zodiac sign changes with it. In BaZi the year starts earlier, at Lichun on 4 February at 09:46 Beijing time. People born between the two moments are Horses by the zodiac but already have the Goat year in a BaZi chart.

Tai Sui 2027: which signs the year touches

In Chinese tradition Tai Sui (太歲) is the guardian of the year, tied to its branch. In 2027 that is 未, the Goat. Signs whose branch repeats the year branch, stands opposite it or forms a punishment, harm or destruction with it are said to offend Tai Sui (犯太歲): the year brings them more change and friction.

Signs in harmony with 未 have an easier year. Still, the sign is only the branch of the year pillar. A BaZi chart has four branches, and only a full calculation shows how 未 meets each of them.

A BaZi chart takes the year, month, day and hour of birth. Its centre is not the sign of the year but the Day Master. The calculation is free.
