2027 for the Dog
Two marks in one year: arrangements come loose, and the year asks for decisions. Choosing early keeps it manageable.
Tai Sui and the Dog in 2027
Tai Sui sits in 未 for the whole year. The Dog meets it by punishment and destruction: 刑太岁 and 破太岁.
Tradition reads this as a watch-out, not a verdict. A punishment asks for decisions rather than endurance. Destruction shakes loose what was holding on out of habit.

Month pillars start on the solar term, not on the first of the month. Times are UTC+8, the clock in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

| 4 Feb, 09:46 | 立春 Start of Spring | 壬寅 | Harmony: good for people and partnerships |
| 6 Mar, 03:39 | 惊蛰 Awakening of Insects | 癸卯 | Combination: a warm month |
| 5 Apr, 08:17 | 清明 Pure Brightness | 甲辰 | Clash: the month to watch, fewer big moves |
| 6 May, 01:24 | 立夏 Start of Summer | 乙巳 | Quiet month, nothing marked |

| 8 Aug, 01:26 | 立秋 Start of Autumn | 戊 | Quiet month, nothing marked |
| 8 Sep, 04:28 | 白露 White Dew | 己 | Harm: keep it quiet, steady and small |
| 8 Oct, 20:16 | 寒露 Cold Dew | 戌 | Same animal: pace rather than push |
| 7 Nov, 23:38 | 立冬 Start of Winter | 亥 | Quiet month, nothing marked |
| 7 Dec, 16:37 | 大雪 Major Snow | 壬子 | Quiet month, nothing marked |
| 6 Jan, 03:54 | 小寒 Minor Cold | 癸丑 | Punishment: decide rather than drift |
Each month's mark comes from the branch interactions between that month and the Dog. A clash is a watch-out, not a verdict.
Born in January or early February?
Your animal is the branch of your year pillar, and the BaZi year turns at Li Chun, the start of spring. It does not turn on 1 January, and it does not turn at Chinese New Year.
So each Dog year below starts at Li Chun. Someone born between 1 January and Li Chun of one of these years is a Rooster, not a Dog. Someone born between 1 January and Li Chun of the year after is still a Dog.
Most popular sites count from Chinese New Year instead, so anyone born between the two dates is given a different animal there.
| Year | Pillar | Dog from | Chinese New Year |

Li Chun, year by year, with a worked exampleCheck 2027 against your own chart
Your animal is one pillar of four. Two Dogs can meet the same year differently, because the month, day and hour pillars meet it too.
The free chart shows all four pillars and needs no sign-up. The app reads 2027 for your animal, and Pro reads it against every pillar of your chart.
