The major sky trends of 2027

2027 opens under a sky that is already on the move. In 2025 and 2026, three slow-moving planets changed sign: Saturn and Neptune entered Aries, and Uranus entered Gemini. 2027 is the first full year in which they are all settled in their new sign, which gives the year a flavour of renewal: new foundations, new ideas, new momentum.

Jupiter, from Leo to Virgo

Jupiter, the planet of expansion and confidence, moves through Leo until 26 July 2027, then enters Virgo. The first half of the year invites creativity, generosity and pleasure; the second, organisation, care and practical matters. The fire signs make the most of the first part of the year, the earth signs of the second.

Saturn and Neptune in Aries

Saturn gives structure, Neptune inspires. Together in the first sign of the zodiac, they invite us to give real shape to our ideals: to build something new without losing a sense of meaning. Saturn stays in Aries until 13 April 2028.

Uranus in Gemini, Pluto in Aquarius

Uranus, in Gemini all year, speeds up communication, technology and the ways we learn. Pluto continues a deep transformation in Aquarius, focused on the collective. Two planets in air signs, in harmonious dialogue.

Eclipses on the Leo-Aquarius axis

The eclipses of 2027 are concentrated on the Leo-Aquarius axis, the axis of the personal heart and the collective. The highlight: the total solar eclipse of 2 August 2027, at 9°55' Leo, partially visible from the United Kingdom and Ireland, and total in the far south of Spain. Find the timings city by city in our article on the total eclipse of 2 August 2027.

Mercury, Venus and Mars

Mercury will be retrograde three times, each time from a water sign back into an air sign. Mars begins the year retrograde, between Virgo and Leo, until 1 April. Venus, for her part, will not be retrograde at all this year: a rather smooth sky for relationships.

These broad trends apply to everyone; how they affect you depends on your sign, and even more on your birth chart. Choose your sign below, and remember to read your rising sign's forecast too, which you can find out with our free birth chart.
