Goat Birth Years
Common Gregorian year labels for Goat years include 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015, 2027. The label alone is not enough for someone born near the beginning of a Gregorian year because the Chinese zodiac year does not begin on January 1.
Chinese New Year Boundary
SAGE determines an ordinary zodiac birth sign using the Chinese New Year / Spring Festival boundary. Someone born in January or early February may therefore belong to the previous animal year. This is intentionally different from BaZi's Li Chun year boundary.
Verified Correspondences
Older SAGE data may contain fixed lucky numbers, colors, flowers, or directions for the Goat. Those claims are not promoted here as classical facts unless an individual association has trustworthy provenance.
