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:

3rd → Ox · 12th → Dog · 13th → Pig · 22nd → Monkey · 23rd → Rooster

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 3rd (Sat). There's relatively more room this month, but booking early is still the safe bet.

Public holidays this month — the 17th, Constitution Day; the 19th, substitute public holiday (for Constitution Day). Holiday information is based on current regulations and public calendar data; for any temporary public holidays designated later, check the latest announcements.

July's solar terms

In Saju, months are divided not by the calendar but by solar terms. This month has two.

Soseo (小暑, Minor Heat)
July 7 · The solar term when the heat begins. In Saju, the Sheep month (Miwol 未月) begins
Daeseo (大暑, Major Heat)
July 23 · The hottest time of the year

If you're moving in July

Off-season · midsummer

It overlaps with the monsoon, so demand drops sharply. Quotes are cheap, but the risk of moving on a rainy day is high. When you sign the contract, be sure to check how rain will be handled. Damage from belongings getting wet is generally not covered.

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.

Why are there 5 Son-eomneun-nal in July?

It's off-season. Demand is low, so quotes are cheaper and dates are easier to book.

What if I can't move on a Son-eomneun-nal?

They come round 5–6 times each lunar month, but matching one with your final-payment day, a weekend and a moving company's availability can be hard. Options include avoiding only the days that directly clash with your zodiac animal, avoiding only the days tied to the direction you're moving in and splitting the day your belongings go in from the day you move in.
