1967 Fire Goat and the Milky Way
The year name 丁未 has the sound element 天河水, “water of the Milky Way.” The Milky Way is the river in the legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, who can cross it only once a year.
The 1967 year began on Feb 9, 1967 and ended on Jan 29, 1968. 1967 Goats turn 59 in 2026, and 2027 brings 丁未 back again, the year they turn 60.
Born in January or Early February 1967?
The Chinese year does not start on January 1. Lunar New Year 1967 was on Thursday, Feb 9, 1967, so births before that date belong to the year before.
| Born | Sign | Year name |
|---|---|---|
| Jan 1 to Feb 8, 1967 | Fire Horse | 丙午 |
| Feb 9, 1967 to Jan 29, 1968 | Fire Goat | 丁未 |
So someone born on Feb 8, 1967 is a Fire Horse, and someone born on Feb 9, 1967 is a Fire Goat. Dates are in China Standard Time.
What Is a Fire Goat?
A Fire Goat combines the Goat with the element of the birth year. 1967 ends in 7, which gives Fire. The element repeats every 60 years, so other Fire Goat years include 1907 and 2027.
