2027: Year of the Fire Goat in the Chinese zodiac

When does the Year of the Goat start and end?

Chinese New Year 2027 falls on 6 February, and the Year of the Fire Goat lasts until 25 January 2028. Before that, from 17 February 2026, it is the Year of the Fire Horse. So people born in January 2027 still belong to the Horse.

What will the Year of the Fire Goat be like?

In the Chinese zodiac the Goat is the sign of kindness, creativity and calm, and the Fire element adds warmth and passion. By tradition it is a good year for art, family, making a home and relationships built on trust. Aggressive competition and big risks suit its energy less.

Who will 2027 favour most?

By tradition the Rabbit, the Pig and the Horse are luckiest, as they are the Goat's natural allies. For the Ox it is a year of change, and for the Goat it is its own year, which asks for more care.

• Favoured: Rabbit, Pig, Horse
• Year of change: Ox
• Own year: Goat
