Golden Dog
The Golden Dog born in 1958: 2027
The Dog and the Sheep lock together in a punishment and a break. Nothing collides head-on, but promises slip and the work you carry quietly grows heavier.
The Yin Fire of 2027 warms Yang Earth (戊), the stem of your birth year. Help from the people around you arrives without being asked for.

If your day pillar is 戊戌
A 戊戌 day pillar is a great mountain (戊) sitting on dry autumn earth (戌). The same energy supports it from below, so the roots are firm and the will does not bend easily.
Questions
Is 2027 a samjae year for the Dog?
2027 is not one of your samjae years. The Dog's next three difficult years begin in 2028.
Born in January or early February? Which year counts?
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.
What does 2027 hold for the Golden Dog born in 1958?
Help arrives, and promises and duties grow heavier. Smooth months: Feb, Mar, Jun, Aug. Months to be careful: Jan, Apr, May, Jul.
How is the sign different from the day pillar?
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.
