2027 Horoscope

What makes 2027 different from 2026

2026 was a year of arrivals: Saturn and Neptune entered Aries, Uranus entered Gemini and Jupiter entered Leo. 2027 is the year that follows an arrival. None of the slow planets changes sign, so the questions each sign met last year are not replaced by new ones; they deepen. Saturn moves on from 8° to 28° of Aries, Uranus from 2° to 10° of Gemini, and Pluto stays between 4° and 7° of Aquarius.

The planet that does move is Jupiter. It finishes its stay in Leo, forming exact trines to Saturn on 3 April and 11 July, and enters Virgo on 26 July. For every sign, the house Jupiter leaves and the house it enters describe where the first and second halves of the year feel most generous, and that is why each forecast below is divided at that date.

The dates worth putting in a calendar

Five eclipses fall in 2027. The one everyone will talk about is the total solar eclipse of 2 August at 9°55' Leo: its totality, about six minutes and twenty seconds near Luxor, is the longest of any eclipse between 2009 and 2114. The annular solar eclipse of 6 February falls in Aquarius, and three faint penumbral lunar eclipses follow on 20 February, 18 July and 17 August.

Mars is retrograde from 10 January to 1 April. Mercury is retrograde from 9 February to 3 March, from 10 June to 4 July and from 7 to 28 October. Venus is not retrograde at all this year. In June the three slowest planets form a rare harmonious triangle, and on 16 November Pluto meets the North Node in Aquarius.

How these forecasts are written, and how to read them

Each page is written for one sign, from that sign's own solar houses: the sign itself is counted as the 1st house, the next sign as the 2nd, and so on. That is why Jupiter in Leo is a career transit for Scorpio and a travel transit for Sagittarius. No page is a copy of another with the names changed.

Every date was calculated with the Swiss Ephemeris and is given in Universal Time, so in the Americas an event may fall on the evening before, and in Asia and Australia on the following day. If you know your Rising sign, read that page as well: houses counted from the Ascendant are the ones astrologers use for timing. Each forecast ends with the birthdays that the slow planets touch directly this year, because a transit to your own Sun says more than a general forecast for the sign. A yearly horoscope describes the climate of a year, not a fixed outcome.
