2027 Bazi Calendar: What It Is and When the Bazi Year Starts
The 2027 Bazi calendar (八字月曆, bāzì yuèlì) is the Chinese lunar calendar for 2027 read the way Bazi reads it: by solar terms rather than by moon phases. The Bazi year of 2027 is the Ding Wei (丁未) Fire Goat year, and it starts at Li Chun (立春, lì chūn) on 4 February 2027 at about 09:45 Beijing time, two days before Lunar New Year on 6 February 2027. Until that moment, a birth still belongs to the Bing Wu (丙午) Fire Horse year.
This page puts the 2027 Chinese calendar in one place: the twelve Bazi month pillars with their solar-term start dates, the twelve lunar month start dates, the main festival dates and the day pillar on the first of every month. To turn any of it into your own chart, enter your birth details in the free Bazi calculator and read the full-year picture in the 2027 Fire Goat year forecast. Bazi Fortune is an Android app on Google Play (no iPhone version yet).
What Are the Twelve Bazi Months of 2027?
A Bazi month pillar (月柱, yuè zhù) is the Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch that name one solar-term month. Each month begins at a jie (節), one of twelve solar terms, and runs until the next jie, so the Bazi month never lines up with the Gregorian month or the lunar month. In a Ding year the first month, Yin, takes the stem Ren, and the stems then advance one step per month.
| Bazi month | Pillar | Starts at the jie (節) | Approx. Beijing time | Month animal |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yin 寅 | 壬寅 | Li Chun 立春 | 4 Feb, about 09:45 | Tiger |
| Mao 卯 | 癸卯 | Jing Zhe 惊蛰 | 6 Mar, about 03:35 | Rabbit |
| Chen 辰 | 甲辰 | Qing Ming 清明 | 5 Apr, about 08:15 | Dragon |
| Si 巳 | 乙巳 | Li Xia 立夏 | 6 May, about 01:20 | Snake |
| Wu 午 | 丙午 | Mang Zhong 芒种 | 6 Jun, about 05:25 | Horse |
| Wei 未 | 丁未 | Xiao Shu 小暑 | 7 Jul, about 15:35 | Goat |
| Shen 申 | 戊申 | Li Qiu 立秋 | 8 Aug, about 01:25 | Monkey |
| You 酉 | 己酉 | Bai Lu 白露 | 8 Sep, about 04:30 | Rooster |
| Xu 戌 | 庚戌 | Han Lu 寒露 | 8 Oct, about 20:15 | Dog |
| Hai 亥 | 辛亥 | Li Dong 立冬 | 7 Nov, about 23:40 | Pig |
| Zi 子 | 壬子 | Da Xue 大雪 | 7 Dec, about 16:35 | Rat |
| Chou 丑 | 癸丑 | Xiao Han 小寒 | 6 Jan 2028, about 03:55 | Ox |
Times are Beijing time (UTC+8), accurate to roughly 15 minutes, and almanacs can differ by a few minutes. A birth within a day of a boundary needs an exact check: the month pillar and jieqi rule explains why, and the calculator does the arithmetic.
How Does Each 2027 Bazi Month Relate to the Goat Year?
Every month pillar is read against the year branch, Wei (未), the Goat. The table lists the relationship of each month's branch to Wei, which is the fastest way to see where a month supports, repeats or pushes against the year.
| Pillar | Element of the branch | How the month sits against the year branch Wei (未) |
|---|---|---|
| 壬寅 | Wood | No formal link to Wei; a Wood month feeding the Fire that Ding brings |
| 癸卯 | Wood | Half of the Hai-Mao-Wei Wood combination with the year |
| 甲辰 | Earth | Earth beside Earth: the year's Wei supports it |
| 乙巳 | Fire | Si and Wei sit in the same southern Fire group (Si-Wu-Wei) |
| 丙午 | Fire | Wu-Wei six combination with the year branch |
| 丁未 | Earth | The same branch as the year, Wei repeated |
| 戊申 | Metal | Shen Metal is generated by the year's Wei Earth |
| 己酉 | Metal | You Metal is generated by the year's Wei Earth; no formal link |
| 庚戌 | Earth | Xu and Wei belong to the Chou-Xu-Wei punishment group |
| 辛亥 | Water | Hai is the other half of the Hai-Mao-Wei Wood combination |
| 壬子 | Water | Zi-Wei harm with the year branch |
| 癸丑 | Earth | Chou-Wei clash with the year branch (the month sits in 2028) |
These are branch relationships only. How a month lands on you depends on your own chart, so use it as a map of the calendar, not a forecast of your life. For the year's overall tone, see the Year Pillar and Li Chun guide.
What Does the 2027 Chinese Lunar Calendar Look Like?
The Chinese lunar calendar (農曆, nónglì) counts months from new moon to new moon. The 2027 lunar year has twelve months and no leap month, and lunar month 1 begins on 6 February 2027. The table gives the Gregorian date on which each lunar month starts.
| Lunar month | Day 1 falls on (Gregorian) |
|---|---|
| Month 1 | 6 Feb 2027 |
| Month 2 | 8 Mar 2027 |
| Month 3 | 7 Apr 2027 |
| Month 4 | 6 May 2027 |
| Month 5 | 5 Jun 2027 |
| Month 6 | 4 Jul 2027 |
| Month 7 | 2 Aug 2027 |
| Month 8 | 1 Sep 2027 |
| Month 9 | 30 Sep 2027 |
| Month 10 | 29 Oct 2027 |
| Month 11 | 28 Nov 2027 |
| Month 12 | 28 Dec 2027 |
The main festivals follow from those start dates. For example, Mid-Autumn is the fifteenth day of lunar month 8.
| Festival | Gregorian date |
|---|---|
| Lunar New Year (春節) | 6 Feb 2027 |
| Lantern Festival (元宵) | 20 Feb 2027 |
| Dragon Boat Festival (端午) | 9 Jun 2027 |
| Qixi (七夕) | 8 Aug 2027 |
| Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋) | 15 Sep 2027 |
| Double Ninth (重陽) | 8 Oct 2027 |
| Lunar New Year's Eve (除夕) | 25 Jan 2028 |
What Is the Tong Shu, and How Do You Read a Day Pillar?
The Tong Shu (通勝, tōng shèng) is the traditional Chinese almanac, called the Nongmin Li (農民曆) in Taiwan and the Huang Li (黃曆) elsewhere. It lists, for each day, the lunar date, the solar term, the day pillar and short notes on what suits or avoids the day. The day pillar (日柱, rì zhù) is a stem-branch pair from a continuous 60-day cycle that ignores months and years, so one anchor fixes it forever: 1 January 2000 was a Wu Wu (戊午) day.
| Date in 2027 | Day pillar |
|---|---|
| 1 Jan | 庚辰 (Geng Chen) |
| 1 Feb | 辛亥 (Xin Hai) |
| 1 Mar | 己卯 (Ji Mao) |
| 1 Apr | 庚戌 (Geng Xu) |
| 1 May | 庚辰 (Geng Chen) |
| 1 Jun | 辛亥 (Xin Hai) |
| 1 Jul | 辛巳 (Xin Si) |
| 1 Aug | 壬子 (Ren Zi) |
| 1 Sep | 癸未 (Gui Wei) |
| 1 Oct | 癸丑 (Gui Chou) |
| 1 Nov | 甲申 (Jia Shen) |
| 1 Dec | 甲寅 (Jia Yin) |
Counting forward from any row gives the next days: after Geng Chen (庚辰) comes Xin Si (辛巳), then Ren Wu (壬午). For the idea behind date picking, read how to choose auspicious dates with Bazi; it was written for 2026 and the method is unchanged.
How Do You Use the 2027 Bazi Calendar Step by Step?
Using the 2027 Bazi calendar takes three steps, and each answers a different question.
- Find the month pillar for a date: take the latest jie on or before it in the first table. 12 July 2027 falls after Xiao Shu on 7 July, so its month is Ding Wei (丁未).
- Find the day pillar: count forward or back from the nearest row of the day pillar table.
- Compare with your own chart: your Day Master (the element of your day stem, see the Day Master guide) decides whether a month helps or strains you, which is why the same month reads differently for two people.
For a chart that accounts for true solar time, the calculator guide walks through the inputs.
Key Takeaways: The 2027 Bazi Calendar
- The Bazi year 2027 (Ding Wei, Fire Goat) begins at Li Chun on 4 February 2027, about 09:45 Beijing time, not at Lunar New Year on 6 February.
- The twelve month pillars run Ren Yin (壬寅) to Gui Chou (癸丑), each starting at a jie solar term.
- The 2027 lunar year has twelve months with no leap month; lunar month 1 starts on 6 February 2027.
- A day pillar comes from a continuous 60-day cycle; 1 January 2027 is Geng Chen (庚辰).
- Births within a day of a jie need an exact calculation rather than a calendar lookup.
