The Snake in 2027: the Fire Goat year, season by season
巳 in 2025, 午 in 2026, 未 in 2027: three years running, the year branch has walked through the summer group, and 2027 closes it. For the Snake, whose own year opened the run, it reads as a year to bring that summer energy home.

Snake birth years and the start of spring
In the Korean saju calendar the year starts at Ipchun, the start of spring (around 4 February), not on January 1 or at the lunar new year. Someone born under the Snake sign was born between one year’s Ipchun and the day before the next.
So someone born between January 1 and February 3, 1989 counts as the previous year’s Dragon, while someone born between January 1 and February 3, 1990 still counts as Snake.
| Born in | Pillar | Ipchun that year | Sign ends on | Age in 2027 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1929 | 己巳 | February 4 | February 3, 1930 | 98 |
| 1941 | 辛巳 | February 4 | February 3, 1942 | 86 |
| 1953 | 癸巳 | February 4 | February 3, 1954 | 74 |
| 1965 | 乙巳 | February 4 | February 3, 1966 | 62 |
| 1977 | 丁巳 | February 4 | February 3, 1978 | 50 |
| 1989 | 己巳 | February 4 | February 3, 1990 | 38 |
| 2001 | 辛巳 | February 4 | February 3, 2002 | 26 |
| 2013 | 癸巳 | February 4 | February 3, 2014 | 14 |
| 2025 | 乙巳 | February 3 | February 3, 2026 | 2 |
Born on Ipchun day itself? The sign then depends on whether you were born before or after the exact time of Ipchun. Ages are after your 2027 birthday.
What tradition says about this sign and 未
巳 is early summer and the late morning, the point where fire catches. 巳, 午 and 未 form one season (方合), so tradition sees 巳 and 未 as members of the same household. The stems 乙, 丙 and 丁 add wood and fire over the same three years, which old texts paired with a warning against overheating; in today’s words, plan rest before ambition.
2027 season by season
The saju year is split into twelve months by the solar terms. For each season of three months, the chips show the traditional relation between that month’s branch and this sign, followed by a few questions for the season. The names are symbols; they do not say what will happen.
SpringFebruary 4, 2027 – May 5, 2027
- 壬寅 month (Tiger)Punishment (刑)Harm (害)
- 癸卯 month (Rabbit)No relation
- 甲辰 month (Dragon)No relation
寅 brings Punishment and Harm to 巳, often read as friction over order and authority early in the year; 卯 and 辰 are neutral. Settle who decides what in February, then choose one project from 2025 to carry on.
SummerMay 6, 2027 – August 7, 2027
- 乙巳 month (Snake)Same branch
- 丙午 month (Horse)Same season (方合)
- 丁未 month (Goat)Same season (方合)
Your own month and season: focus comes easily, so set an end to the working day, keep summer ideas on a list for autumn, and move outdoor plans to cooler hours.
AutumnAugust 8, 2027 – November 7, 2027
- 戊申 month (Monkey)Six Harmonies (六合)Punishment (刑)Break (破)
- 己酉 month (Rooster)Triangle of affinity (三合)
- 庚戌 month (Dog)Resentment (怨嗔)
申 is a Six Harmony with Punishment and Break attached, 酉 the triangle and 戌 Resentment. Put roles and costs in writing with any new partner, and voice small grievances before October ends.
WinterNovember 8, 2027 – February 3, 2028
- 辛亥 month (Pig)Clash (沖)
- 壬子 month (Rat)No relation
- 癸丑 month (Ox)Triangle of affinity (三合)
亥 clashes directly with 巳, 子 is neutral and 丑 returns to the triangle. Do your year-end review before any big November purchase, and move exercise indoors rather than stopping.
The Snake in 2027, by age
The same sign meets a different year at 15, 40 or 70. These short notes suggest what is worth looking after at each age, from school and first jobs to check-ups and life after work.
- Born 1953 · 74 in 2027
- Connection matters as much as check-ups now: keep one weekly group on a fixed day, and carry an up-to-date list of your medicines.
- Born 1965 · 62 in 2027
- If work ends before your pension starts, sketch how you will bridge the gap with part-time work and savings, and in what order.
- Born 1977 · 50 in 2027
- Fifty is when many health services add new screenings; book them when invited, and start one thing you want to learn for yourself.
- Born 1989 · 38 in 2027
- Life often reshapes in the late thirties; protect one kind of time first, whether family dinners, exercise or solitude, and recheck any loan rates.
- Born 2001 · 26 in 2027
- Early career or still job hunting: after each application note one thing you learned, and if you live alone, put rent and bills in a table first.
- Born 2013 · 14 in 2027
- The early teens bring fast changes; if anger or low moods last, tell an adult you trust, and agree on screen time together at home.

Is the Snake in samjae in 2027?
No. The 巳酉丑 group meets samjae in 亥, 子 and 丑 years; by the traditional count the Snake’s next run is 2031 to 2033.
2025 was the Snake’s year: how does it connect to 2027?
乙巳 (2025), 丙午 (2026) and 丁未 (2027) are the three summer branches in a row. Tradition sometimes reads 2027 as the Snake gathering in what it began in its own year, so decide whether to continue or close what you started then.
