The twelfth and final solar month (丑月, Ox Month) places the 3 Jade Wood in the centre — the conflict star — in the month that also stands in direct clash with the Sheep TaiSui. The year’s most communication-cautious window, and its peak pressure for Ox-born occupants.
About the Ox Month (丑月) in 2027
The Ox Month (丑月, Xiaohan 6 Jan 2028 to Lichun 4 Feb 2028) closes the 2027 solar year with the 3 Jade Wood Star in the centre — the conflict and lawsuit register — in the month standing opposite the year-branch (丑 Ox against 未 Sheep, the Year Breaker axis).
The two pressures compound. Defer contract signings, formal complaints, court appearances and difficult household negotiations out of this month where deferral is feasible, and keep sensitive conversations out of centre rooms. Year-end decisions that can wait are better held until after Lichun.
For Ox-born occupants the Ox Month inside the Ox-Sheep clash year is the year’s absolute peak pressure window. Defer major Ox decisions out of this month entirely where deferral is feasible; pair anything unavoidable with personalised consultation alongside traditional protective practice.
This is also the month leading into Lichun (4 Feb 2028, 15:31 UTC+8), when the annual chart resets: the Five Yellow leaves the North, the 8 White moves on, and the whole sector map changes. Work deferred through 2027 on account of afflicted-sector timing can be planned for execution after Lichun 2028.

Frequently asked questions
When does the Ox Month (丑月) start in 2027?
The Ox Month begins at Xiaohan (6 Jan 2028) — the solar term that opens the month in the Chinese solar calendar. Each feng shui month runs from one solar term to the next, with the chart shifting at the boundary.
What does Star 3 in the centre mean for this month?
The monthly central star sits in the home’s qi reservoir for the duration of the month, layering its register over the year-level chart. Star 3 concentrates that register household-wide, making the month most active in activities and orientations aligned with the star’s classical attributes.
