Best Dzi Beads by Chinese Zodiac Sign 2027: Your Lucky Dzi for the Year of the Fire Goat

We never retouch our photos. What you see is exactly what you will receive.

The Year of the Fire Goat begins on 6 February 2027. After the bold, fast pace of the Fire Horse, the Goat brings a gentler year: warmer, more creative, and centred on relationships and steady building. Each zodiac sign meets that energy differently, and tradition links each sign's year with a dzi motif that suits it well.

Below is the traditional lucky dzi for every sign in 2027, with a companion bead where one helps and a link to each full forecast. Remember that every dzi protects and blesses its owner, and none brings bad fortune, so these are suggestions rather than rules. If you were born in January or early February, check the Chinese New Year date for your birth year first: you may belong to the previous year's sign.

The lucky dzi for each sign at a glance

The nine eye appears as a companion for many signs because it is traditionally understood to cover all nine areas of life, and it is especially associated with Feng Shui Period 9 (2024 to 2043). It suits any sign in any year.

Rat: five eye dzi

An active, sociable year in which your connections are your greatest asset. The five eye dzi, linked to Kubera and wealth from all five directions, helps turn relationships into steady prosperity. Avoid speculation. Rat 2027 forecast

Ox: nine eye dzi, with the four eye

The Ox clashes directly with the Goat year's Tai Sui, making 2027 its most demanding year of the cycle. Protection comes first: the nine eye for all-round support and the four eye for clearing obstacles. Move carefully and protect what you have built. Ox 2027 forecast

Tiger: seven eye dzi, or tiger tooth

A strong year for creative leadership and recognition. The seven eye, the bead of the universal monarch, supports the authority you are growing into, while the tiger tooth adds courage and protection. Tiger 2027 forecast

Rabbit: two eye dzi, with the six eye

One of the best years of the cycle: Rabbit, Goat and Pig form 2027's Wood trine. The two eye, the bead of harmony and partnership, suits a year of deepening bonds, and the six eye supports your creative wisdom. Rabbit 2027 forecast

Dragon: twelve eye dzi

A year to consolidate rather than expand. The twelve eye, associated with supreme authority and complete wisdom, steadies the Dragon's natural leadership while it builds patiently for the long term. Dragon 2027 forecast

Snake: six eye dzi

A good year for intuition, new ideas and travel. The six eye, linked to Om Mani Padme Hum and protection in all six directions, gives clarity and steady protection through a year of movement. Snake 2027 forecast

Horse: two eye dzi, with the three eye

The Horse and Goat form a natural pairing, so relationships shine in 2027. The two eye supports love and partnership, and the three eye supports the steady prosperity you are building. Horse 2027 forecast

Goat: nine eye dzi, with the two eye

2027 is your Ben Ming Nian, your own year: creatively powerful, but emotionally demanding. Tradition often recommends the nine eye, with its all-round blessing, paired with the two eye for harmony. Goat 2027 forecast

Monkey: five eye dzi

A year for alliances rather than solo ventures. The five eye, with its wealth from every direction, supports the network of allies and resources you are building. Monkey 2027 forecast

Rooster: six eye dzi

A year of refinement and skilled work, steady rather than spectacular. The six eye, linked to the six perfections of patience, wisdom and diligence, suits your pursuit of excellence. Rooster 2027 forecast

Dog: four eye dzi, with the nine eye

A stable working year with some Earth friction shared with the Ox and Goat. The four eye protects in all four directions and clears obstacles; add the nine eye for extra support. Dog 2027 forecast

Pig: two eye dzi, with the three eye

An excellent year: the Pig shares the Wood trine with Rabbit and Goat, and social life and romance flourish. The two eye amplifies connection, and the three eye supports relationship-driven prosperity. Pig 2027 forecast

Choosing your bead

The zodiac recommendations are a helpful starting point, not a rule. Every dzi protects and blesses, whatever your sign, and no dzi was ever made to bring bad fortune. If another motif speaks to you more, wear that one. The most important thing is to choose the bead that pleases your eye.

Every motif is available in all four of our age categories: ancient (500+ years), antique (100 to 500 years), vintage (under 100 years but not new, including 1980s Taiwan dzi) and new (made within roughly the last 20 years). Vintage and new beads are made using the traditional dzi crafting technique and carry the same meanings, so choose the age that suits your budget. To wear more than one bead, see how to combine dzi motifs.

When your bead arrives, wash it once in mild soap and water and dry it in the sun. Introduce yourself to it aloud, pass it over temple incense if you can, and breathe in positive energy with it. If something is impractical, skip it; the Buddha will not punish you. See our wear and care guide.
