Son-eomneun-nal in June 2028

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:
1st → Pig · 2nd → Rat · 11th → Rooster · 12th → Dog · 21st → Sheep · 22nd → Monkey
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 11th (Sun). Things are relatively relaxed, but booking ahead is still the safe bet.
Public holidays this month — the 6th, Memorial Day. Moving companies get booked up around holidays, so it's best to avoid the days just before and after.
June's solar terms
In Saju, months are divided not by the calendar but by solar terms. This month has two.
- Mangjong (芒種, Grain in Ear)
- June 5 · A good time for sowing seeds. In Saju, the Horse month (Owol 午月) begins
- Haji (夏至, Summer Solstice)
- June 21 · The longest day of the year
If you're moving in June
Quieter shoulder season · early summer
The stretch just before the monsoon is your last chance. The chance of rain rises toward late June. From this month on, be sure to check whether your contract has a clause for rainy weather.
What kind of year is 2028?
2028 is the Musin year (戊申年), the Year of the Monkey. In Saju, the year changes not on January 1 but at Ipchun (立春, Start of Spring), so anyone born before early February 2028 uses the previous year's stem-branch pair.
This is the year of entering Samjae for people born in the Years of the Tiger, Horse and Dog — the year a new three-year Samjae (a traditional caution period) begins. You'll find the details in the Samjae guide. Keep in mind, though, that Samjae is judged from just one character, the zodiac animal, out of the eight, so it isn't something to base a moving date on by itself.

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.
