Days to avoid for your zodiac animal
Even on a Son-eomneun-nal, a day that clashes head-on with your zodiac animal is left out in date selection. That applies to the animal directly opposite the branch of that day's iljin. This month breaks down like this:
5th → Rooster · 6th → Dog · 15th → Sheep · 16th → Monkey · 25th → Snake · 26th → Horse
If your zodiac animal is listed above, just leave out that date and choose from the other Son-eomneun-nal. This relationship comes round once every 12 days, so the chance of it actually affecting you is low. More details are in What is date selection?
Days that fall on a weekend
Only one Son-eomneun-nal falls on a weekend: the 6th (Sat). Demand for moving piles up on that day, so booking early is the safe bet.
Public holidays this month — the 6th, Seollal holiday; the 7th, Seollal (Korean Lunar New Year); the 8th, Seollal holiday; the 9th, substitute public holiday (for Seollal). Moving companies get booked up around holidays, so it's best to avoid the days just before and after.
February's solar terms
In Saju, months are divided not by the calendar but by solar terms. This month has two.
- Ipchun
- February 4 · The point at which the year changes in Saju. The new stem-branch pair applies from this day
- Usu (雨水, Rain Water)
- February 19 · The solar term when snow is said to turn to rain. Frozen ground starts to thaw
If you're moving in February
Off-season · late winter
This month includes the Seollal holiday, so moving companies get busy before and after it. It's best to avoid the few days just before and after the holiday. From mid-February, bookings for the spring moving season begin, so if you plan to move in March, sign a contract this month.
What kind of year is 2027?
2027 is the Jeongmi (丁未) year, a Year of the Sheep. In Saju, the year changes not on January 1 but at Ipchun (立春, Start of Spring), so people born before early February 2027 use the previous year's stem-branch pair.
This year is leaving Samjae for Pig, Rabbit and Sheep — the last of the three Samjae years. More details are in our Samjae guide. But Samjae is judged from just one character — your zodiac animal — out of eight, so it isn't something to decide a moving date on by itself.
