Three years, three moods
Korean tradition says that every 12 years, each trio of signs passes through three years to watch, when outside events tend to push harder than usual.
- 2025Snake year
The Year It Settles In
Year 1 of 3Change starts to stir. Things may feel unsettled before you can name why.
- 2026Horse year
The Year It Weighs Most
Year 2 of 3The middle stretch. Often read as the year to hold steady and not overreach.
- 2027Goat year
The Year It Lifts
Year 3 of 3This yearThings wind down. Loose ends surface so they can be tied off.
Four trios take turns
The 12 signs form four trios. Each trio's three years begin in the year of the sign opposite its lead sign. The Pig leads its trio and sits opposite the Snake, so the Pig trio's turn began in the Snake year, 2025.

Your three years began with the Snake year in 2025 and close at the Start of Spring in early February 2028.
Finish well, then begin
The last year often asks you to close things rather than open them. Here's how I'd lean into that.
Finish before you start
Wrap up what's been open since 2025 before taking on something big and new.
Read the fine print
Contracts, moves, and large purchases may deserve one more careful look.
Keep up the basics
Two demanding years can catch up with you. Sleep and regular checkups matter.
Some of these years turn out lucky
Korean saju even has a name for it: the lucky three years. When the year's elements suit your chart, the same three years that unsettle one person can bring someone else real growth.
So it's never a prophecy. It's a nudge to look at the rest of your chart, where the real answer lives.
