The Pig in 2027: in harmony with the year (San He, 三合)

2027 is the Fire Goat year (Ding Wei, 丁未). Its Tai Sui (太岁) — the star said to rule the year — sits with the Goat. The Pig and the Goat: they are in the same trine, a group of three (Pig, Rabbit, Goat: 亥卯未). Folk lists count the signs in harmony with the year among its lucky ones.

Counted by sign, every Pig gets the same answer for the year — one person in twelve. Below they are split twice: by birth year, counting the element of the year as well as its animal, and then by the day pillar — the element and animal of the day you were born — which is what the classics actually read.

First, check your sign — and your day pillar

If you were born in January or February, check: some count the sign from Chinese New Year and some from the Start of Spring (Li Chun, 立春, around 4 February), and anyone born between the two gets a different sign from each. Settle it to the minute with your birth time and place

All twelve signs against 2027’s Tai Sui (太岁)

Red: on the folk lists of signs that “offend” the year, Fan Tai Sui (犯太岁) — the same sign, or a clash, punishment, harm or break. Green: in harmony with the year — a pair (six harmony, Liu He, 六合) or one of a group of three (trine, San He, 三合) — which folk lists count as lucky. Grey: neither. These are fixed relations between the animals, not ratings.

The Pig, birth year by birth year

The animal is the same in every row: the Pig against the Goat — trine (三合). What differs is the element: each birth year’s stem stands differently to 2027’s Yin Fire (丁), and the Stems column says how. The nayin is the birth year’s traditional image. Age is the age turned during 2027.

Born Pillar Nayin Age Stems Named
1935 乙亥Wood Pig 山头火Fire on the Mountain 92 Wood produces Fire
1947 丁亥Fire Pig 屋上土Earth on the Roof 80 the same stem
1959 己亥Earth Pig 平地木Wood of the Plain 68 Fire produces Earth
1971 辛亥Metal Pig 钗钏金Hairpin Metal 56 Fire controls Metal
1983 癸亥Water Pig 大海水Water of the Great Sea 44 Water controls Fire
1995 乙亥Wood Pig 山头火Fire on the Mountain 32 Wood produces Fire
2007 丁亥Fire Pig 屋上土Earth on the Roof 20 the same stem
2019 己亥Earth Pig 平地木Wood of the Plain 8 Fire produces Earth

Double clash (Tian Ke Di Chong, 天克地冲): the stems control each other and the animals clash. Double bond (Tian He Di He, 天合地合): the stems bind and the animals pair. Same pillar: the year’s pillar is the birth year’s, sixty years on. These three are the combinations folk readings mention most; they are marked here, not judged.

What the classics read: the day pillar, not the sign

The Song-dynasty manual Yuan Hai Zi Ping (淵海子平) judges Tai Sui by the day pillar — the element and animal of the day you were born — against the year’s, in three ways: offending the year’s lord (Fan Sui Jun, 犯岁君), war (Zheng, 征), gloom (Hui, 晦). In 2027, 20 of the sixty day pillars are marked. Of the days in Pig years from 1935 to 2019, about 34% fall on one of them — much the same as for every other sign. By the classical rule, your sign does not decide it.

The same work says to “look only at whether the chart holds help” (但看八字有无救助), so whether it matters is the whole chart’s question. Check your day pillar with the form above, or see the full list of marked day pillars for 2027.

The twelve months of 2027 against the Pig’s branch, Hai (亥)

How each month’s animal stands to the Pig (亥). Months run from one solar term (Jie, 节) to the next, UTC+8, not from new moon to new moon.

One sign, and a different day pillar each. Every page has that person’s pillars.

Does 2027 help you or not?

A sign is one character of the year pillar; a day pillar is two of the eight. What 2027 is to you means setting the Fire Goat (丁未) against all four pillars, which needs your birth time and place.

About this page

Same sign, clash, punishment, harm, break, six harmony and trine are fixed relations between branches; the year pillars, nayin, month pillars and solar-term moments are calendar arithmetic; the Tai Sui (太岁) section follows the Yuan Hai Zi Ping (淵海子平). There are no ratings here for money, love or career — a sign cannot give them.
