Questions
Open this site to see the Chinese date for your day, what the almanac lists as good for it, what it says to avoid, and which zodiac animal the day clashes with. You can also pick a plan, such as a move, a wedding or a grand opening, to get a short list of the best days with a reason for each.
When is Chinese New Year 2027?
Chinese New Year 2027 is on Feb 6 (Sat), the start of the Year of the Fire Goat. New Year's Eve is Feb 5 (Fri) and the Lantern Festival is Feb 20 (Sat). The Fire Goat year runs 354 days, until January 25, 2028.
When is Chinese New Year 2026?
Chinese New Year 2026 is on Feb 17 (Tue), the start of the Year of the Fire Horse. That year runs 354 days, until February 5, 2027.
Does the Chinese calendar have a leap month in 2026 or 2027?
Neither year has a leap month. In 2026, 12 lunar months begin and 6 of them are 30 days long. In 2027, 13 lunar months begin and 6 of them are 30 days long.
Which time zone is the Chinese calendar date in?
The calendar is calculated in China Standard Time (UTC+8). This site picks the date from your own time zone, then looks up the lunar date for it. A new Moon close to midnight can shift a lunar month by a day elsewhere.
How do I find a lucky day to move, marry or open a business?
Pick your plan and this site shows the 10 best days in the next 60, with the reason for each. A day must be marked good for that activity in the almanac and must not be a major unlucky day. Days with more favorable stars or day officers for that activity rank first.
Can I skip days that clash with my zodiac animal?
Yes. Open the activity page and add a birthday, and days that clash with that zodiac animal drop out. For people born in January or early February, the zodiac year may be the previous one, since the Chinese year starts at Chinese New Year.
How many lucky days are there in 2027?
The almanac marks 110 days in 2027 as good for a wedding and 79 for moving house. It lists 69 for opening a business, 83 for signing a contract and 83 for picking up a new car. Another 76 major unlucky days are removed from every list.
What is the Year of the Goat in 2027?
2027 is mostly the Year of the Fire Goat. It starts on Feb 6 (Sat). People born from that date belong to the Goat, and earlier in January and February counts as the year before.
