2027 Chinese & Vietnamese Zodiac Forecast: Year of the Fire Goat
The Đinh Mùi year (Ding Wei, the Fire Goat) begins on Saturday, 6 February 2027. Here is how 2027 treats each of the twelve animals: clashes and harmonies with the year, the Three Disasters, and the Vietnamese ruling star for every birth year from 1940 to 2020.

The twelve animals in the Goat year
Red: clash, punishment, harm or own year. Green: harmony with the year. Select an animal to jump to its forecast and birth-year table.
How to read this forecast
Every lunar year is governed by a Tai Sui (Thái Tuế), the “Grand Duke” of the year. Your animal’s relationship with the year’s animal — the Goat in 2027 — is the first thing a Vietnamese astrologer checks. A clash means the two signs sit opposite each other on the zodiac wheel; punishment, harm and break are milder frictions; the Three Harmonies and Six Harmonies are supportive alliances. Your own animal year is treated with respect rather than fear: it is a year of turning points.
The Three Disasters (tam tai) are three consecutive years that tradition associates with obstacles for each trine of animals. For Pig, Cat and Goat they are the Snake (2025), Horse (2026) and Goat (2027) years, so 2027 closes the cycle.
The ruling star comes from the Nine Ruling Stars (Cửu Diệu), a uniquely popular Vietnamese practice. It depends on your lunar age (your age in 2027 plus one) and on whether you are a man or a woman, so siblings of the same animal can have different stars. Finally, the element column compares your nạp âm element with the year’s Water.
| Ruling star | Traditional meaning |
|---|---|
| Sun (Thái Dương) | A bright, favourable star, especially for men: work goes smoothly and efforts get noticed. |
| Moon (Thái Âm) | A favourable star, especially for women: good for love, family life and finances. |
| Jupiter (Mộc Đức) | A kind star: a harmonious household, steady health and happy news. |
| Mercury (Thủy Diệu) | Favourable for income and travel; take care around water and with what you say. |
| Saturn (Thổ Tú) | A middling star: small domestic hiccups; prepare trips thoroughly. |
| Mars (Vân Hán) | A middling star: quick tempers and disputes. Stay calm and avoid confrontations. |
| Venus (Thái Bạch) | Linked with money leaking away: budget carefully and avoid large loans to others. |
| Rahu (La Hầu) | Traditionally a difficult star, especially for men: gossip, legal or paperwork trouble. Speak carefully and keep documents in order. |
| Ketu (Kế Đô) | Traditionally a difficult star, especially for women: worries and unplanned expenses. Keep the peace at home. |
Rat in 2027 (tuổi Tý · Chuột)
Harm

Frequently asked questions
When does the Year of the Goat 2027 start?
The Đinh Mùi (Ding Wei) year begins on Lunar New Year, Saturday, 6 February 2027, and runs until Tuesday, 25 January 2028. The next year, Mậu Thân (Earth Monkey), starts on Wednesday, 26 January 2028.
What element is 2027?
The Heavenly Stem Đinh is Yin Fire, so Chinese horoscopes call 2027 the Year of the Fire Goat. In Vietnamese reckoning the year’s nạp âm element is Heavenly River Water (Thiên Hà Thủy).
Which zodiac signs clash with the Goat in 2027?
The Ox clashes directly with the Goat and also shares a punishment link, the Dog has punishment and break links, and the Rat has a harm link. The Goat itself is in its own year (bản mệnh).
Which signs are in Three Disasters (tam tai) in 2027?
Pig, Cat and Goat. For this trine the Three Disasters years are the Snake, Horse and Goat years, so 2027 is the third and final one (after 2025 and 2026).
Which signs are luckiest in 2027?
The Horse is the Goat’s Six Harmonies partner, and the Pig and Cat belong to the Goat’s Three Harmonies trine. Tiger, Dragon, Snake, Monkey and Rooster have neutral years.
How is the ruling star (sao chiếu mệnh) calculated?
It follows a nine-year cycle based on your Vietnamese “lunar age” (your age plus one, counted from Tết) and differs for men and women. For example, someone born in 1990 is 38 by lunar count in 2027: a man falls under Saturn (Thổ Tú), a woman under Mars (Vân Hán).
