Chinese Zodiac 2027: the Year of the Fire Goat
2027 is 丁未 (Ding Wei), the Yin Fire Goat, with the Na Yin "Water of the Heavenly River" (天河水). Chinese New Year is 6 February 2027; the astrological year begins at Lichun, 4 Feb 2027, 09:46 (Beijing time, UTC+8). The last Fire Goat year was 1967; the next is 2087.
Every sign's 2027 reading here comes from one fixed set of rules: the branch relationship between the sign and the Tai Sui (the Goat, 未) and the five-element cycle against the year's stem 丁 and branch. The same tables give each sign twelve solar months rated favourable, steady or caution, so the dates below are calculated, not written to fit.
