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 → Monkey · 6th → Rooster · 15th → Horse · 16th → Sheep · 25th → Dragon · 26th → Snake
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 25th (Sun). Competition is fierce, so book quickly.
April's solar terms
In Saju, months are divided not by the calendar but by solar terms. This month has two.
- Cheongmyeong (清明, Clear and Bright)
- April 5 · The solar term when the skies are said to clear. In Saju, the Dragon month (Jinwol 辰月) begins
- Gogu (穀雨, Grain Rain)
- April 20 · The solar term when rain is said to fall and soak the grain
If you're moving in April
Peak season · spring
There's a bit more room than in March, but it's still peak season. With the good weather, it's considered the most comfortable month to move. Spring showers are frequent, so use plastic boxes rather than cardboard and agree in advance with the moving company on what happens if it rains.
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.
