White Ox
The White Ox born in 1961: 2027

Questions
Is 2027 a samjae year for the Ox?
2027 is not one of your samjae years. The Ox's next three difficult years begin in 2031.
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 White Ox born in 1961?
Pressure makes you tougher, and a year of big changes. Smooth months: May, Sep, Nov, Dec. Months to be careful: Apr, Jun, Jul, Oct.
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.
