Signs that clash with 2027
Tradition calls it "offending Tai Sui" (犯太歲) when your year branch clashes with the year's branch. In 2027 (branch 未):
| Relation | Sign |
|---|---|
| Your own year | Goat |
| Direct clash | Ox |
| Punishment | Ox and Dog |
| Harm | Rat |
| Break | Dog |
This is folklore based on birth year only: everyone born in the same year gets the same reading.
2027 in your own chart
Your zodiac animal uses one number: the year. In Zi Wei Dou Shu, 2027 switches on four transformations (丁 year): Tai Yin as Lu (prosperity), Tian Tong as Quan (power), Tian Ji as Ke (fame) and Ju Men as Ji (obstacle). What they mean for you depends on which palaces of your chart they fall in, worked out from your birth date, time and place.
