The Horse and the Sheep form a pairing. People and work fall into place naturally, and of the twelve signs this is the gentlest year.
Yang Wood (甲), the stem of your birth year, feeds the Yin Fire of 2027. Effort shows up as visible results, and your energy drains at the same pace.
| Jan | 1/5 ~ 2/3 · 辛丑Careful The Ox month harms the Horse. Words get misread, so say important things face to face. It is still before the start of spring, so in saju this month belongs to the end of 2026. |
| Feb | 2/4 ~ 3/5 · 壬寅Smooth The Tiger month pulls the same way as the Horse. Good for starting things and finding partners. |
| Mar | 3/6 ~ 4/4 · 癸卯Careful The Rabbit month breaks with the Horse. Plans and promises change easily. |
| Apr | 4/5 ~ 5/5 · 甲辰Steady The Dragon month has no special pull or friction with the Horse. A calm month. |
| May | 5/6 ~ 6/5 · 乙巳Smooth The Snake month shares a season with the Horse. Strength builds, and so does what you are asked to carry. |
| Jun | 6/6 ~ 7/6 · 丙午Careful The Horse month grinds against the Horse. Things do not mesh as planned, so check once more. |
| Jul | 7/7 ~ 8/7 · 丁未Smooth The Sheep month pairs with the Horse. Things between people soften, so meetings and negotiations go well. |
| Aug | 8/8 ~ 9/7 · 戊申Steady The Monkey month has no special pull or friction with the Horse. A calm month. |
| Sep | 9/8 ~ 10/7 · 己酉Steady The Rooster month has no special pull or friction with the Horse. A calm month. |
| Oct | 10/8 ~ 11/7 · 庚戌Smooth The Dog month pulls the same way as the Horse. Good for starting things and finding partners. |
| Nov | 11/8 ~ 12/6 · 辛亥Steady The Pig month has no special pull or friction with the Horse. A calm month. |
| Dec | 12/7 ~ 1/5 · 壬子Careful The Rat month clashes head-on with the Horse. Change one big thing at a time. |
A 甲午 day pillar is a tall tree (甲) sitting on the midsummer sun (午). The energy above flows down and shows itself, a nature that brings what it holds out into words and craft.
2027 is not one of your samjae years. The Horse's next three difficult years begin in 2028.
In saju the year does not change on January 1. It changes at Ipchun, the start of spring, around February 4 each year. So anyone born between January 1 and that day takes the previous year's pillar and animal sign.
Effort turns into results, and people and work fall into place. Smooth months: Feb, May, Jul, Oct. Months to be careful: Jan, Mar, Jun, Dec.
Your sign is the two characters of your birth year, and your day pillar is the two characters of your birth day. A chart has eight characters, so both are part of it, and the day pillar is the one that stands for you.
