Chinese horoscope 2027: the Fire Goat year for all 12 animals

Chinese New Year: 6 February 2027 · Li Chun, the solar year: 4 February 2027 · The Goat year ends: 25 January 2028 Which animal were you born under? →
The Chinese year begins about five weeks after the calendar one, so January and the first days of February 2027 still belong to the Fire Horse. The Goat, also called the Sheep or the Ram, takes over on 6 February. Its Fire stem sits on an Earth branch and feeds it, which makes this a year of steady returns rather than sudden wins: trust built slowly, skills that deepen, money that grows with patience. It favors people who stay with a partner, a craft or a plan after the first excitement fades, and it is hard on anyone who tries to force results.

Chinese New Year 2027 falls on 6 February, the first day of the first lunar month. Li Chun, the solar start of spring, falls on 4 February. Four Pillars astrology counts the year from Li Chun; the zodiac animal is counted from New Year.
Which animals are at odds with Tai Sui in 2027?
Four: the Goat, in its own year; the Ox, which clashes with it; the Rat, in harm with it; and the Dog, in punishment with it. Tradition asks them for caution rather than ambition; it does not promise them a bad year.
Is 2027 a good year for my animal?
It depends on how your branch sits against the Goat. The Rabbit, Horse and Pig are bonded to it; the Rat, Ox, Goat and Dog are not. The rest have no strong tie either way.
Which Chinese zodiac animal am I?
Your animal comes from your birth year, with the boundary at Chinese New Year rather than 1 January. Enter your birth date in the Chinese zodiac calculator and it checks the exact date for your year.
