2027 Chinese Zodiac Predictions: All 12 Animals and Tai Sui
Hongsimdang Editorial · Updated
2027 is a 丁未 year, the Year of the Goat. To tell which signs offend Tai Sui, look at how each animal's branch relates to the year branch Wei: the same character is a Benming year, the opposite one is a clash, and punishment, harm and break are also counted as offending Tai Sui in folk belief.
The table below sorts the twelve animals by branch relation; click through for the month-by-month table and the reading by area. There are two dates for the year change: BaZi uses Lichun (Feb 4, 2027 at 09:46 UTC+8 (Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Taiwan time; 10:46 in Japan and Korea, 01:46 UTC)) and the folk zodiac uses Lunar New Year (Feb 6, 2027 (Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Taiwan and mainland China; Korea's calendar puts it a day later, on Feb 7, 2027)).

Find your sign
To find a sign from a birth year, subtract 4, divide by 12 and read the remainder against the order Rat, Ox and so on. If you were born in January or early February, first check whether your birthday falls before or after Lunar New Year and Lichun. In 2027, Lichun is Feb 4, 2027 at 09:46 UTC+8 (Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Taiwan time; 10:46 in Japan and Korea, 01:46 UTC) and Lunar New Year is Feb 6, 2027 (Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Taiwan and mainland China; Korea's calendar puts it a day later, on Feb 7, 2027).

Frequently asked questions
Which zodiac signs offend Tai Sui in 2027?
The year is Ding-Wei, the Goat. The Goat has a Benming year; Ox clashes with Wei and also has a punishment; Dog has a punishment with a break; Rat is in a harm. This is a traditional classification and not a prediction of events.
Which zodiac signs harmonize with Tai Sui in 2027?
Wu and Wei form a Six Harmony, so the Horse harmonizes with Tai Sui; Hai-Mao-Wei is a Wood triangle, so the Rabbit and the Pig form a half trine; the Snake shares the Si-Wu-Wei summer group. None of these are offending types, but that does not mean everything goes smoothly.
