How your 2027 Korean fortune is read

In Korea, the weeks around Seollal (Lunar New Year) are the season for sinnyeon unse — the New Year fortune. Families look up the year ahead in two classic ways: a Saju reading that compares your birth chart with the coming year, and the old almanac-style Tojeong Bigyeol. This page does both.

1. Your Saju birth chart

Your birth year, month, day and hour each become two characters — a Heavenly Stem and an Earthly Branch — for eight in total. The year and month change at Ipchun and each month's solar term, not on January 1, and the day and hour pillars use local solar time at your birthplace (time zones and historical daylight saving are applied with the IANA database). It is the same engine as our Korean Saju calculator and the Korean 2027 신년운세 page, so all three give identical charts.

2. Matching your chart with Jeongmi 2027 and its months

2027's stem and branch, 丁未 Jeong-mi, are checked against your Day Master: which of the Ten Gods they represent, whether the branch 未 forms a combination, clash, punishment, break, harm or resentment with the branches in your chart, and which life stage your Day Master reaches in 未. Then the page checks whether the year's Fire and Earth are elements your chart needs. Each area starts from 60 points and these factors add or subtract. The twelve months — Im-in month from Ipchun through Gye-chuk month ending at Ipchun 2028 — are scored with the same rules.

3. Tojeong Bigyeol (土亭秘訣)

Tojeong Bigyeol is a New Year fortune book attributed to the Joseon-dynasty scholar Yi Ji-ham (1517–1578), whose pen name was Tojeong. It became a household custom in the late Joseon period and is still checked by many Koreans each new year. It ignores the hour of birth and uses only your lunar birth date to build a three-digit reading:

  1. Upper number = (Korean age in 2027 + the year number of Jeongmi, 19) ÷ 8, remainder
  2. Middle number = (days in your lunar birth month in 2027 — 30 for a long month, 29 for a short one — + that month's number) ÷ 6, remainder
  3. Lower number = (your lunar birth day + the day number of that date in 2027) ÷ 3, remainder

A remainder of 0 counts as 8, 6 or 3, so there are 8 × 6 × 3 = 144 readings, from 111 to 863. The year, month and day numbers come from the traditional lookup table for the 60-term cycle. If you were born in a leap month, the regular month of the same number is used; if your birthday is the 30th and that month has only 29 days in 2027, the 29th is used. The reading texts here are Honglife's own modern summaries based on the character of each reading, not a translation of the original book.

Frequently asked questions

What year is 2027 in the Korean zodiac?
2027 is the Jeongmi (丁未) year of the 60-year cycle. The stem Jeong (丁) is yin Fire and the branch Mi (未) is Earth and the Goat or Sheep, so Koreans call it the Year of the Red Sheep. In Saju the year runs from Ipchun (around 10:46 a.m. Korea time on February 4, 2027) until Ipchun 2028, not from January 1 or Lunar New Year.
What is Tojeong Bigyeol and how is it calculated?
Tojeong Bigyeol is a Korean New Year fortune tradition attributed to the Joseon-era scholar Yi Ji-ham (pen name Tojeong). Three numbers are made from your lunar birth date: (Korean age in 2027 + the year number of Jeongmi, 19) mod 8, (days in your birth month in 2027 + that month's number) mod 6, and (your birth day + that day's number in 2027) mod 3, with 0 counted as 8, 6 or 3. Together they give one of 144 readings, from 111 to 863.
How is the Saju New Year fortune different from Tojeong Bigyeol?
The Saju fortune compares the eight characters of your birth year, month, day and hour with the 2027 Jeongmi year and its twelve months, using Ten Gods, combinations and clashes, and life stages. Tojeong Bigyeol ignores the birth time and uses only the lunar birth date to pick one of 144 readings for the whole year. Both are for entertainment.
