The Pig and the Sheep belong to the same triangle of signs (a three-way harmony) and pull in one direction. Work goes better with people beside you than on your own.
Yin Wood (乙), the stem of your birth year, feeds the Yin Fire of 2027. Effort shows up as visible results, and your energy drains at the same pace.
| Jan | 1/5 ~ 2/3 · 辛丑Smooth The Ox month shares a season with the Pig. Strength builds, and so does what you are asked to carry. It is still before the start of spring, so in saju this month belongs to the end of 2026. |
| Feb | 2/4 ~ 3/5 · 壬寅Mixed The Tiger month both helps and rubs against the Pig (six harmony and break). Strength builds, but check words and promises twice. |
| Mar | 3/6 ~ 4/4 · 癸卯Smooth The Rabbit month pulls the same way as the Pig. Good for starting things and finding partners. |
| Apr | 4/5 ~ 5/5 · 甲辰Careful The Dragon month holds a resentment toward the Pig. Hurt feelings pile up more than open fights. |
| May | 5/6 ~ 6/5 · 乙巳Careful The Snake month clashes head-on with the Pig. Change one big thing at a time. |
| Jun | 6/6 ~ 7/6 · 丙午Steady The Horse month has no special pull or friction with the Pig. A calm month. |
| Jul | 7/7 ~ 8/7 · 丁未Smooth The Sheep month pulls the same way as the Pig. Good for starting things and finding partners. |
| Aug | 8/8 ~ 9/7 · 戊申Careful The Monkey month harms the Pig. Words get misread, so say important things face to face. |
| Sep | 9/8 ~ 10/7 · 己酉Steady The Rooster month has no special pull or friction with the Pig. A calm month. |
| Oct | 10/8 ~ 11/7 · 庚戌Steady The Dog month has no special pull or friction with the Pig. A calm month. |
| Nov | 11/8 ~ 12/6 · 辛亥Careful Your own sign's month, but the Pig meeting itself counts as a self-punishment in saju. Strength builds, and so does the urge to push yourself too hard. Set your rest days first. |
| Dec | 12/7 ~ 1/5 · 壬子Smooth The Rat month shares a season with the Pig. Strength builds, and so does what you are asked to carry. |
A 乙亥 day pillar is grass and flowers (乙) sitting on the winter sea (亥). The energy below feeds the one above, giving a talent for taking things in and growing them.
2027 is the last of your three difficult years (samjae). The stretch that began in 2025 ends this year.
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.
Effort turns into results, and things move when you work together. Smooth months: Jan, Mar, Jul, Dec. Months to watch: Apr, May, Aug, Nov.
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.
