2027: the Rabbit
2027 is 丁未 dīng wèi, the Fire Goat. If you were born in a rabbit year, here is the traditional reading — and the part that is not folklore at all, the character itself.
| Lunar new year begins | February 6, 2027 |
| Year name | 丁未 dīng wèi — the Fire Goat |
| Runs until | January 26, 2028 |
| Your animal | 兔 Rabbit — Supports you · 三合 |
The character 兔
The oracle-bone 兔 is a rabbit drawn side-on — long ears, a short tail, and hind legs noticeably longer than the front ones. Those proportions are still readable in the modern character.
That is the honest core of this page. Whatever you decide about the astrology, 兔 is a real object with a real history, and it has been drawn more or less the same way for three thousand years.
Rabbit and Goat in 2027
三合 — Three Harmony
三合 (Three Harmony) — Rabbit, pig and goat form a 三合 triangle: three signs that traditionally support one another.
What this page is: 合冲害 is a traditional Chinese way of talking about relationships between the twelve signs. It is folklore, not prediction — treat it the way you would treat a horoscope column. The part of this page you can actually learn something from is the character.
Years of the Rabbit
The rabbit returns every twelve years. Recent ones:
2023 · 2011 · 1999 · 1987 · 1975 · 1963 · 1951 · 1939
Every one of these is a lunar year, beginning at Chinese New Year rather than January 1. If you were born in January or early February, your animal is usually the previous year's — the zodiac finder handles those edge cases.
