Your year turns at Li Chun, not at Chinese New Year
Chinese New Year falls on 6 February 2027, two days after Li Chun. BaZi counts the Goat year from Li Chun. If you were born in January or early February, your animal may not be the one you were told.
Why the year starts at Li ChunThe twelve animals in 2027
Each standing comes from how the animal's branch meets 未, the branch of the year. Birth years count from Li Chun in early February, not from 1 January.

Tai Sui 2027: what the tradition saysQuestions about the year
When does the 2027 Goat year start?
At Li Chun, on 4 February 2027 at 09:46 UTC+8. Chinese New Year falls on 6 February 2027, two days after Li Chun. A BaZi chart counts the year from Li Chun.
What element is 2027?
Fire. The year pillar is 丁未: 丁 is yin Fire and 未 is the Goat, an Earth branch. The stem gives the year its element, so 2027 is the Fire Goat year.
Which animals meet Tai Sui in 2027?
The Goat is the year's own animal: 值太岁. The Ox meets it by clash and punishment: 冲太岁 and 刑太岁. The Dog meets it by punishment and destruction: 刑太岁 and 破太岁. The Rat meets it by harm: 害太岁.
Why do some sites give me a different animal?
Most sites count the animal from Chinese New Year. BaZi counts it from Li Chun. Anyone born between the two dates is given a different animal on each.
