Year of the Goat
Recent years: 2027, 2015, 2003, 1991, 1979
Personality
The Goat (未) is Yin Earth — the gentle warmth of afternoon (未时). Hidden stems 己, 丁, 乙 create a garden of Earth, Fire, and Wood — nurturing creativity, compassion, and aesthetic sensitivity. Goats are the poets and caretakers of the zodiac.
They feel deeply and express through art, kindness, and domestic harmony. They seek beauty and emotional connection. Unbalanced Goat energy may become dependency, moodiness, or escapism from harsh reality.

Health
Yin Earth governs Spleen and digestive harmony — Goats should eat regularly, warming meals and avoid excessive damp or cold. Hidden Fire (丁) links to heart; worry weakens Spleen and generates internal heat. Creative outlets and supportive community protect Goat mental health; isolation worsens their tendency toward melancholy.
