01 · DATES
Why 2007 has two signs
The Chinese year does not start on 1 January. It starts at Chinese New Year, which was February 18, 2007 in 2007. So the people born in 2007 split across two animals.
| Born | Sign | Chinese year |
|---|---|---|
| January 1, 2007 to February 17, 2007 | Fire Dog | 2006 (丙戌) |
| February 18, 2007 to December 31, 2007 | Fire Pig | 2007 (丁亥) |
Dates follow the calendar in China. Five Elements (BaZi) charts change year at the start of spring, around 4 February, so a BaZi chart can give a different animal for an early-February birthday. See the Five Elements tool.
Chinese New Year 2007 is on a Sunday, February 18, 2007, and the Lantern Festival closes the celebration on March 4, 2007. The Fire Pig year lasts 354 days, until February 6, 2008. The same sign and element came round in 1947 and come round again in 2067. A 2007 birthday turns 19 in 2026 and 20 in 2027. Before it came the Fire Dog year, from January 29, 2006. After it comes the Earth Rat year, from February 7, 2008.

What sets 2007 apart
Chinese New Year came 20 days later on the calendar than in 2006. The Sun entered Aquarius on January 20, 2007, 29 days earlier, so the Fire Pig year opens in Aquarius season.
48 days of 2007, from January 1 to February 17, 2007, still belong to the Fire Dog year. The other 317 belong to the Fire Pig.
Chinese New Year came 14 days after 4 February, the usual start of spring. For those 14 days, from February 4, 2007 to February 17, 2007, the Chinese calendar still counts a Fire Dog where a Five Elements chart already counts a Fire Pig.

What the Fire adds to the Pig
The Fire Pig is the most outgoing. Fire adds heat and appetite, so this Pig is passionate, adventurous, and enjoys life at full volume. It is a Yin year (odd), the inward, quiet side.
The year's stem is Fire and the Pig's own branch is Water. Water controls Fire in the cycle, so the animal holds the element in check. Traditionally that reads as a Pig whose nature keeps the Fire in line.
Every Pig year has a different element, so a Fire Pig is not the same as the other Pigs. The cycle repeats every 60 years. Read the full Pig guide, or see all 12 signs and every year on the Chinese zodiac overview.
The Pig year before this one was 1995, a Wood Pig year that began on January 31, 1995. Chinese New Year was 18 days earlier then, and the element moved on from Wood to Fire. The Pig year after this one was 2019, an Earth Pig year that began on February 5, 2019. Chinese New Year was 13 days earlier then, and the element then moved on from Fire to Earth.
Your own year, the year your animal comes round again, repeats every 12 years: 2019 (Earth Pig), 2031 (Metal Pig), 2043 (Water Pig), 2055 (Wood Pig), 2067 (Fire Pig).

What 2026 and 2027 mean for a Fire Pig
Every year carries its own animal and element. Here is how each one sits next to a Fire Pig, read the traditional way. Treat it as something to think with, not a forecast.
2026
Fire Horse year
Animal. Pig and Horse have no special tie, but the Pig's Water meets the Horse's Fire head on. Tradition reads a year of tension between caution and pace: the world moves faster than the Pig likes. The Pig that keeps its own tempo and protects its rest finds the year easier than it looks.
Element. Both are Fire, so the year turns up the volume on what you already are.
2027
Fire Goat year
Animal. Pig and Goat form a triple harmony with the Rabbit, one of the best ties on the wheel. Tradition reads 2027 as the Pig's year of ease: generosity is returned, relationships warm, and work finds a rhythm. It is a good year to build something for the long term.
Element. Both are Fire, so the year turns up the volume on what you already are.
