2027 for the Ox
The year sits opposite your animal and adds a punishment. Expect it to ask for decisions rather than endurance, which is the harder ask for an Ox.
Tai Sui and the Ox in 2027
Tai Sui sits in 未 for the whole year. The Ox meets it by clash and punishment: 冲太岁 and 刑太岁.
Tradition reads this as a watch-out, not a verdict. A clash is a year of movement, better chosen than waited for. A punishment asks for decisions rather than endurance.

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.

| 7 Dec, 16:37 | 大雪 Major Snow | 壬子 | Combination: a warm month |

Each month's mark comes from the branch interactions between that month and the Ox. 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 Ox year below starts at Li Chun. Someone born between 1 January and Li Chun of one of these years is a Rat, not a Ox. Someone born between 1 January and Li Chun of the year after is still a Ox.
Most popular sites count from Chinese New Year instead, so anyone born between the two dates is given a different animal there.
| Year | Pillar | Ox from | Chinese New Year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1937 | 丁丑 | 4 Feb, 13:25 | 11 Feb |
| 1949 | 己丑 | 4 Feb, 11:23 | 29 Jan |
| 1961 | 丑 | 4 Feb, 09:22 | 15 Feb |
| 1973 | 癸丑 | 4 Feb, 07:04 | 3 Feb |
| 1985 | 乙丑 | 4 Feb, 05:12 | 20 Feb |
| 1997 | 丁丑 | 4 Feb, 03:02 | 7 Feb |
| 2009 | 己丑 | 4 Feb, 00:50 | 26 Jan |

Li Chun, year by year, with a worked exampleCheck 2027 against your own chart
Your animal is one pillar of four. Two Oxs 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.
