What the Fire Goat means

In the Chinese calendar every year has an animal and an element. 2027 is the Year of the Goat, also called the Sheep. The element of the year is Fire, while the year’s earthly branch belongs to Earth. The Fire Goat comes round once every 60 years: the previous one was 1967.

Hence “Red”: by tradition fire is linked with red and warm shades. The character of the symbol is usually described like this:

  • Creativity
  • Peacefulness
  • Emotion
  • Intuition
  • Harmony

This describes a tradition, not a forecast: there are no horoscopes or predictions here.

For women

A red, terracotta or emerald dress, or a milky white suit with gold jewellery.

For men

An emerald, terracotta or beige sweater. One item is enough to add the color of the year – a tie or a pocket square.

For children

An orange or red sweater, a bow or a headband – and comfortable enough to run around the tree.

The 2027 tree

How to decorate the tree in 2027

By tradition the tree is decorated in the same warm colors. Three combinations made of ordinary ornaments:

Red and gold

Red baubles, golden bows and warm string lights – the most festive option.

Terracotta, milky white and wood

Ceramic and wooden ornaments with linen ribbons – calm and homely.

Emerald and gold

Green baubles and golden stars – smart without being busy.

Take a photo of a corner of your room – the AI puts a tree there in the colors you chose and leaves the rest unchanged. It makes it easier to decide which ornaments to buy.

New Year wallpaper and snow on your photo are on the wallpaper and backgrounds page.

The Goat year table

What to put on the table

By tradition, a Goat year table has more plant food: vegetables, greens, cheese and homemade baking. It is a hint, not a ban on your favorite dishes.
