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:
6th → Ox · 7th → Tiger · 16th → Pig · 17th → Rat · 26th → Rooster · 27th → Dog
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 26th (Sun). Things are relatively relaxed, but booking ahead is still the safe bet.
Public holidays this month — 25th Christmas Day, 27th substitute holiday (Christmas Day). Moving companies get booked up around long weekends, so it's best to avoid the days just before and after.
December's solar terms
In Saju, months are divided not by the calendar but by solar terms. This month has two.
- Daeseol (大雪, Major Snow)
- December 7 · The solar term of heavy snow. In Saju, the Rat month (Jawol 子月) begins
- Dongji (Winter Solstice)
- December 22 · The longest night of the year. From this day, the days start getting longer again
If you're moving in December
Off-season · Early winter
Demand is low at the end of the year. Quotes are cheaper and you can pick your date more freely. That said, if you want to take advantage of year-end tax settlement and moving-expense deductions, get your paperwork ready in advance. Moving companies run with fewer staff around Christmas.
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.
