2087 Chinese zodiac: Year of the Fire Goat
The 2087 Chinese year will run from Monday 3 February 2087 to Friday 23 January 2088.
Its sign is the Yin Fire Goat: 丁未 (Dīng-wèi) in the 60-year cycle.
Born 1 January – 2 February 2087? Then you belong to the previous Chinese year: the Fire Horse of 2086.
Chinese New Year or Lichun?
Most calendars change the animal at Chinese New Year. Four Pillars (BaZi) astrology starts the year at Lichun, the Start of Spring, instead. For births around the turn of the year the two counts differ:
- 3 February 2087 (Lichun day): by Lichun, Fire Horse before 23:14 China time and Fire Goat from then on; by Chinese New Year, Fire Goat.
Dates and times in China time. The Chinese zodiac calculator converts them for your birthplace and shows both counts.
The Fire Goat in Chinese astrology
A Fire Goat is traditionally more confident and expressive than other Goats – warm, creative and quicker to take the lead.
The Goat, also called the Sheep or Ram, is the eighth Chinese zodiac animal, associated in tradition with gentleness, creativity and calm. Fire is the element of warmth and energy, linked in Chinese tradition with summer, passion and outward expression.
