Rooster in 2027: the Fire Goat year for the Rooster

The Rooster and the Goat

The Rooster 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 Rooster’s direction in 2027: West

Each sign has a home position on the 24-mountain compass. The Rooster’s is W2 (West). In the 2027 flying-star chart, that sector holds 2 Black (Ju Men): Traditionally the “illness star”. Practitioners keep this sector calm: no renovation, less red, and often a metal object (brass) as a traditional remedy.

• Suits: Quieter uses: a guest room, storage, a utility room or a hallway.
• Avoid: Renovation, and (in the tradition) the bed of anyone who is recovering from illness.
• Colours there: Metal (white, grey, gold, brass). Keep fire (red, purple, pink, orange) low.
• Three Killings: the West holds the Three Killings in 2027. Avoid sitting with your back to it, and avoid works there.

At home in 2027

1. 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).
2. Bed. Headboard against a solid wall, with a diagonal view of the door. That command position matters more than any annual star.
3. 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).
4. 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 for the Rooster

The Rooster is a metal sign. By the most common five-element method, its colours are those of metal and of earth, which feeds it: WhiteGreyBrassOchreTerracottaBeige

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.
