Black Tiger
2027 for the Black Tiger born in 1962
The Tiger and the Sheep are linked by what saju calls a ghost gate. Thoughts multiply and your senses run sharp this year.
The stem of your birth year, Yang Water (壬), forms a combination with the Yin Fire of 2027. New people, offers and contracts come your way this year, and since that fire is wealth for Yang Water, money and deals move more often too.

Questions
Is 2027 a samjae year for the Tiger?
2027 is not a samjae year for you. Samjae is the three-year stretch of caution that comes round every twelve years in Korean saju, and the Tiger's next one begins in 2028.
Born in January or early February? Which year counts?
In saju the year does not change on January 1. It changes at Ipchun, the start of spring, around February 4 each year. So anyone born between January 1 and that day takes the previous year's pillar and animal sign.
What does 2027 hold for the Black Tiger born in 1962?
New ties and contracts arrive, and your senses run sharp. Smooth months: Mar, Apr, Jun, Oct. Months to watch: May, Aug, Sep.
How is the sign different from the day pillar?
Your sign is set by the year you were born, your day pillar by the day. Everyone born in the same year shares a sign, but the day pillar changes daily, so it differs even among people born the same year. That is why the sign is used for the flow of a year and the day pillar for your nature.
