2025 Three-Year Bad Luck Zodiac Signs and Things to Watch Out For

What zodiac sign is the "Samjae" (three calamities) for 2025? I also plan to organize information about those who should be particularly cautious due to their fortune. It occurs every nine years, and once it happens, caution is needed for three years. Since 2025 marks the beginning of a new Samjae, called "Deulsamjae," special attention should be paid.

 

Samjae refers to a period of misfortune that occurs every nine years when a person is born as a human. Once it occurs, it lasts for three years, during which one may experience various disasters, which is why it is also called Samjae Palnan (Three Calamities and Eight Difficulties). Many people pay attention to it, be cautious, and make various preparations to prevent or mitigate the effects.

- First year of the three-year cycle: Incoming three-year period
- Second year of the three-year cycle: Nul-sam-jae
- Three-year cycle for the Samsae sign: the year of the outgoing Samsae (the year leaving)

If you are in the Samsaek (three calamities) zodiac, it can cause problems with your own fortune, but in bad cases, it can also put your family at risk. For this reason, if you are in the Samsaek zodiac, you should be especially cautious. Conversely, if you are in the Bok-samjae (lucky three calamities), it can actually bring good luck, so it would be good to check whether you fall into the Bok-samjae category.

 

- Rabbit sign: born in 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011
- Sheep zodiac sign: born in 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003
- Pig zodiac: born in 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007

The year 2025 is considered a three-year period of bad luck (samjae) for those born in the Year of the Rabbit, Sheep, and Pig. It means they are entering the samjae period. Therefore, unlike before, it is especially important to be cautious in daily life. Economic difficulties, health issues, relationship problems, and other factors can negatively impact your life in all aspects, so it is advisable to be careful in everything.

 

- Do Byeong-jae: May be involved in or subjected to various incidents and accidents.
- Yeollyeojae: Disease issues, health problems
- Gigeunjae: Economic hardship issue
- Great calamity: disasters of fire, wind, and water

 

There is no perfect way to overcome the three calamities. Traditionally, there are various methods that many people use, but the most common are being cautious and using talismans. Please refer to the following information.

Be cautious in everything.
- Using talismans (carrying them on the body or attaching them above doorways)
- Yangbeop: The act of burning clothes to dispose of them
Insert a paper-made sock into a bamboo, then on the first full moon of the lunar new year, place it on the ridge of the roof, and bow seven times facing east.

Usually, people receive talismans from temples and carry them in their wallets or phones. If they have old, worn talismans, they burn them. Sometimes, during the beginning of spring, they bring their old underwear to the temple to burn it as well. At this time, they burn the old talismans together.

 

- Moving: There is a belief that moving during the three unlucky years is not advisable, but these days I don't pay much attention to it. I just make sure to choose an auspicious day.
- Marriage: Although I tend to hesitate about marriage during the three-year bad luck period, I prefer to get married on an auspicious day.

Rabbits, sheep, and pigs just entering the Samsaek should be cautious in their words and actions for now. Since misfortune may arise in various aspects of their lives, they should first be careful to protect themselves from bad luck and also safeguard their families. In reality, since this is close to superstition, there is no need to overdo it with talismans or similar measures.

 

-----------------------------------

 

I understand that "Samjae" means to be cautious in everything, but...
Honestly, I get tired of hearing every year that I should be careful of the three calamities.
I don't think there was ever a Boksamjae, even though some say there is one.

I really don't like superstitions..

 

It feels like people have their entire destiny within them...
