Zodiac forecast guide: the twelve year stars, offending the Grand Duke, 2026 and 2027 forecasts →
Zodiac forecasts are general conventions drawn from the traditional year stars and branch relations. Many people share a sign, and individual circumstances depend on a full BaZi or Zi Wei chart. This is not a prediction, and we do not recommend buying any remedy items because of it.
How to use it, and common questions
How to look up a sign
- Enter your birth date, or simply pick your sign. With a date, the site changes years at the Start of Spring (Li Chun).
- Choose a year to see its twelve annual spirits, whether you clash with the Tai Sui, the year's favourable and challenging stars, notes for work, money and relationships, and month-by-month reminders.
- The table below compares all twelve signs for the year at a glance.
What "offending the Tai Sui" means
The Tai Sui is the year's earthly branch. If your sign's branch is the same, you "meet" the Tai Sui; if it is opposite, you "clash" with it; there are also punishment, harm and break relations. Traditionally this marks a year with more change that calls for care. It does not mean the year will go badly, and there is no need to buy remedies because of it.
Common questions
- Which sign am I if I was born in January or February?
- Chinese metaphysics changes years at the Start of Spring (around 4 February); folk custom often uses Chinese New Year. If you were born between late January and mid-February the two may differ by one sign; the site uses the Start of Spring.
- Does everyone with the same sign have the same year?
- No. A zodiac forecast looks only at the branch of the birth year, so it is a very broad generalisation; a full BaZi or Zi Wei chart says much more about an individual.
- What are the annual stars?
- Symbolic stars derived from the year's stem and branch and your sign, such as the Nobleman, Literary Star, Red Phoenix, Travelling Horse and Robbery Star. Each is explained in the guide pages.
