Born in January or early February 2007?

The saju year changes at Ipchun, February 4, 2007 at 14:18 Korea time. If you were born before that moment, your year pair is 丙戌: you belong to 2006, the year of the Fire Dog.

Many zodiac sites switch the animal at Lunar New Year instead, which fell on February 18 in 2007, after Ipchun. So for birthdays from Ipchun until the day before February 18, saju already says Pig while those sites still say Dog.

The Fire element of 2007

The top character decides the year’s element, so 2007 is a Fire year. When Fire energy is strong, it tends to feel like this: You feel bright, expressive, and ready to share your passion with others.

Color: Red
Food: Tomatoes, red berries, and warm spices
Direction: South
Activity: Getting some sunlight or dancing to your favorite song

This is your birth-year element. In saju, your core element comes from your birth day instead (the day master), and it can be different. A free saju card shows yours.

The Pig in zodiac compatibility

By the branch tables, the Pig’s closest match is the Tiger (six harmony). Its team of three adds the Rabbit and Goat. Its opposite sign, the Snake, is a clash pair, read as different rhythms rather than bad luck.

The Pig in 2027

Your Water controls Fire. The year reads like something to manage: money, tasks, results. Planning tends to beat grabbing.

Questions about 2007

What Chinese zodiac animal is 2007?

2007 is the year of the Pig, and more exactly the Fire Pig (丁亥). In saju the year runs from Ipchun on February 4, 2007 to February 4, 2008.

What element is 2007?

Fire. The top character 丁 is yin Fire, and that is the year’s element. The bottom character 亥 adds Water.

I was born in January 2007. What is my sign?

Before Ipchun (February 4, 2007, 14:18 Korea time) you belong to the year before: 丙戌, the Fire Dog of 2006. Check your exact time if you were born that day.

Is my birth-year element my saju element?

Not exactly. The year element describes your birth year. Saju reads your core self from your birth-day character (the day master), which needs your full birth date.
