Chinese New Year 2027: welcome to the Year of the Fire Goat

Korea celebrates Seollal on February 7, 2027, and China and Taiwan celebrate Spring Festival on February 6, 2027. In saju the year changes a few days earlier, at Ipchun. Here is what 丁未 means, how your sign lines up with it, and small ways to start the year with the Moon Rabbit.

What 丁未 is like
丁 is the small, steady kind of fire: a candle or a lantern rather than a bonfire. 未 is warm, dry late-summer earth. Put together, the year is often read as a time for patient work and warm, practical care.
These are images, not predictions. How the year feels depends on how 丁 and 未 meet the eight characters of your own chart.
Your sign in 2027
Each of the 12 signs gets the same fixed rules: combinations and clashes with 未, and how the year’s elements meet the sign’s element.

Your sign is one of eight characters. The yearly reading lays 丁未 over your whole chart: the theme of your year, love, money, work and a line for every month. See the title, summary and first section free before you spend anything.

In Korea, New Year’s morning starts with tteokguk, a rice cake soup, and boxes of tteok (rice cakes) are a common holiday gift.
On SajuBunny, Tteok are the rice cakes you use to open readings. From My page you can send some to a friend or family member with a gift link, and they choose what to read.

Questions people ask
When does the 2027 Fire Goat year start in saju?
At Ipchun (start of spring), February 4, 2027, 10:46 Korea time. Anyone born before that moment still belongs to the 2026 saju year, even if it is already 2027 on the calendar.
Why is Seollal on a different day from Chinese New Year?
Both are the first day of the lunar year, but the new moon falls near midnight, so Korea time and China time land on different dates: February 7, 2027 in Korea and February 6, 2027 in China. Saju uses Ipchun, so this does not change anyone’s chart.
Is 2027 a good or bad year for my sign?
A sign alone can’t say that. The year characters meet your whole chart, not just your birth year animal. The sign pages show tendencies to notice, and a free saju card shows where your own chart starts from.
