Monkey in 2027: the Fire Goat year for the Monkey
You are a Monkey if you were born in 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016 (counting from Lunar New Year). In 2027, the Year of the Fire Goat, the Monkey is no special relationship with the Goat in the traditional tables.
No conflict with the year in the traditional tables. The general 2027 rules still apply: don’t sit facing the South-West for long. The Monkey’s own direction, the South-West, holds the 6 White (Wu Qu) star this year, which tradition treats as supportive: a good area to use.
The Monkey and the Goat
The Monkey has no special relationship with the Goat in the classical tables: neither a conflict nor an alliance.
None of this is a forecast. In feng shui it becomes a set of practical choices about your home: where you sit, which way you face, and where you leave things undisturbed.
The Monkey’s direction in 2027: South-West
Each sign has a home position on the 24-mountain compass. The Monkey’s is SW3 (South-West). In the 2027 flying-star chart, that sector holds 6 White (Wu Qu): Traditionally linked with authority, support and steady progress.
- Suits: A home office or the desk where household decisions get made.
- Avoid: Nothing in particular.
- Colours there: Earth and Metal (yellow, ochre, terracotta, beige; white, grey, gold, brass).
- Tai Sui: the SW1 (South-West) position is in this sector too. Use it, but don’t renovate it, and don’t sit facing it.
At home in 2027
- Desk and favourite chair. Avoid sitting for long stretches facing the South-West (the Tai Sui sector) at a desk or dining table. Avoid sitting with your back to the West (the Three Killings).
- Bed. Headboard against a solid wall, with a diagonal view of the door. That command position matters more than any annual star.
- Works. Hold off on renovation, drilling and new building work in the North (5 Yellow), the West (2 Black and Three Killings), the South-West (Tai Sui) and the North-East (Year Breaker).
- Your Kua directions. Your zodiac sign is only part of the picture. Feng shui’s personal directions come from your Kua number, worked out from your birth year: see the Kua guides.

Colours of fire (red, purple, pink, orange) are traditionally used more sparingly, as fire controls metal. For the year as a whole, see lucky colours for 2027.
