The thirty-fourth year of the sexagenary cycle: yin fire above, dry late-summer earth below. Ten readings, one for each Day Master, on what the year asks of you and where it is likely to strain.
2027 is Ding Wei, a yin-fire year resting on dry late-summer earth. It favours finishing, documenting and consolidating over launching. Whether it feels expansive or heavy depends on which ten-god relationship your Day Master forms with the year stem Ding. The BaZi year begins at Lichun on 4 February 2027.
Ding is yin fire — a lamp, a candle, a hearth rather than the sun. Wei is the earth of late summer: dry, heavy, and still holding the wood that grew in spring. Read together, the year is warm above and solid below. Ideas are easy to voice in 2027; only the ones that can be built survive it.
Because the BaZi year turns at Lichun, the 2027 chart begins on 4 February 2027 at 09:46 Beijing time. January still belongs to Bing Wu. If you were born in the first days of February, check the exact time before reading this as your year.
If you do not know your Day Master, cast a free chart first — the Day Master is the heavenly stem of your day pillar and the reference point for everything else.

Read →A year is read against the whole chart, not the Day Master alone — the month branch and the balance of elements decide how much of it you actually feel. What follows describes only the relationship between the year stem Ding and your Day Master. If the vocabulary is new, read the ten gods guide or the ten Day Masters first.
