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:

9th → Rooster · 10th → Dog · 19th → Sheep · 20th → Monkey · 29th → 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 19th (Sun). Competition is fierce, so book quickly.

Public holidays this month — the 14th, Chuseok holiday; the 15th, Chuseok (Korean harvest festival); the 16th, Chuseok holiday. Moving companies get booked up around holidays, so it's best to avoid the days just before and after.

September's solar terms

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

Baengno (白露, White Dew)
September 8 · The solar term when dew starts to form. In Saju, the Rooster month (Yuwol 酉月) begins
Chubun (秋分, Autumn Equinox)
September 23 · The day when day and night are the same length once again

If you're moving in September

Peak season · early autumn

It's the start of the autumn moving season. When Chuseok falls in the month, moving companies get busy before and after the holiday. The weather is settled, making it a good time to move, and with demand from people who want to finish before Chuseok, weekends early in the month are especially tight.

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.
