Your own year: come back to yourself
2027 is the Goat's own year, called ben ming nian, and traditionally it's said the Goat 'holds Tai Sui'. Folk tradition treats your own year as a twelve-year milestone, a time to look back and set out again. There's nothing to fear. Think of it as a promise to yourself: get clear on what you want, then go after it steadily.
A good time to review your direction and make clean choices. Start new things on solid ground; build the foundation first.
