Year of the Rat in 2027

Think of 2027 as a year where the timing isn’t yours. The decision you’re waiting on sits on someone else’s desk, the market moves when it moves, and the plan you had for March quietly turns into a plan for September. That isn’t bad luck; it’s the season. Use it to build the things nobody’s watching yet: the skill, the savings, the side project. And take your health seriously, because a run-down body is exactly where a year like this finds you.

The Rat and the Goat are a traditionally awkward pair. People irritate you without doing anything in particular, favours start to feel one-sided, and small slights get replayed at 2am. In 2027 that tends to show up close to home, with family, flatmates or the colleague at the next desk. Knowing it’s the pattern is most of the fix. Say small things early, keep money between friends clear, and protect your sleep.
