2027 is the Jeongmi (丁未) year, when the heavenly stem 丁 (fire) meets the earthly branch 未 (goat): the Year of the Red Goat. In Korean saju the year turns not on January 1 but at Ipchun, the Start of Spring (10:46 a.m. KST, February 4, 2027), and many families count from Lunar New Year (February 7, 2027). If you were born in January or early February, your sign may be the previous one, so do check.
The flow of 2027
In the Jeongmi year (2027, the year of the Red Goat), the Goat and the Rat share a Wonjin relationship, a bond of quiet resentment where misunderstandings pile up easily. (Your tti, or zodiac animal, is the animal of your birth year in the Korean calendar.) Rather than great misfortune, it's a year when a single small remark can linger in your heart for a long time. The habit of asking once more instead of guessing what someone means will protect your year. The flow grows gentler toward the second half.
The homework the Jeongmi year gives the Rat
This year's homework for the Rat is a habit of checking what you heard. Wonjin is not a sign that bad people will appear; it means the same words are easily heard in different ways. Keep messages short and clear, and put the date and details of important promises in writing once more. For the Rat, born with winter water energy, a midsummer fire year is also a year when feelings heat up quickly. If something hurts, don't reply that night; simply waiting a day can spare you several big arguments. In the last lunar month the attracting Six Harmony energy arrives, so the year can end on a warm note.
♥ Love
Small hurt feelings can easily pile up between partners. Rather than holding them in and letting them all burst out at once, it's better to mention them lightly as they come. Don't rush new connections; get to know each other slowly.
✦ Money
Be careful not to fall out with people close to you over money. When lending or borrowing, keeping a record will put your mind at ease.
☾ Work
When roles blur in a collaboration, misunderstandings arise. Write down your tasks and deadlines, and it becomes a year when you earn recognition.
✧ Wellbeing
When your heart is hurt, your body tires easily too. Take care of your sleep and rest first. Cold drinks combined with late-night snacks easily throw your rhythm off. Start with the habit of keeping warm water nearby.
Condition notes are light advice about daily rhythm, not a diagnosis or treatment. If you feel unwell, please see a medical professional.

Frequently asked questions
Which years are the Year of the Rat?
People born in 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020 are the Rat. The sign changes not on January 1 but at the Start of Spring (around February 4) or Lunar New Year, so if you were born between January and early February, you may belong to the previous sign.
Is the Rat in Samjae in 2027?
The Rat is not in Samjae in 2027. The Rat's next Samjae runs 2034–2036. Samjae is a traditional idea of three years returning every nine, so for now you can plan the year with an easy mind.
Which months of 2027 are best for the Rat?
In 2027, lunar months 3, 7 and 12 carry a tailwind for the Rat, while lunar months 2, 5 and 6 call for extra care.
Why does luck differ among people of the same sign?
Your sign looks only at the birth year, a broad flow. Saju reads all four pillars of year, month, day and hour, and Tojeong Bigyeol assigns one of 144 hexagrams from your lunar birthday, so the same sign can read differently.
