Your 2027 at a glance
Jupiter entered your sign on 30 June 2026, a transit that only comes round roughly every twelve years. It stays there until 26 July 2027: confidence, opportunities, a desire to grow and to show yourself. Retrograde until 13 April, it first invites you to let your plans mature, then turns direct again for a particularly supportive spring and early summer.
On 2 August, the total solar eclipse forms at 9°55' of your sign, shortly after the birthday of many of you. In astrology, an eclipse in your own sign marks a personal turning point: a new image, a new role, a decision that suits you better. It takes place near the Moon's South Node, a symbol of letting go: whatever no longer fits you can gently fall away. Afterwards, Jupiter in Virgo helps you turn this momentum into concrete resources. To find out everything about this key event, read our article on the total eclipse of 2 August 2027.
Love
Your magnetism is at its height, especially when Venus moves through your sign, from 27 July to 20 August, right in the middle of eclipse season. If you are single, you turn heads; if you are in a relationship, you feel like celebrating, surprising each other, reconnecting.
The eclipses in Aquarius, on 6 February and 17 August, touch your sector of relationships and partnerships, where Pluto continues its deep work. A relationship may become more committed, be redefined or make way for a significant encounter. The Leo-Aquarius axis of the 2027 eclipses invites you to balance your need to shine with your attention to others.
Work and money
Jupiter in your sign favours visibility, speaking up and personal projects. Dare to put ideas forward, apply, launch: your enthusiasm is infectious. Saturn and Neptune in Aries, in your sector of study and far horizons, support serious training, a project abroad or a meaningful commitment.
From 26 July, Jupiter in Virgo moves into your money sector: the time to make the most of your skills and strengthen your income. Mars, in your sign from 21 February to 14 May, is retrograde until 1 April: move forward methodically in early spring, then speed up.
Energy and well-being
The energy is there, but it needs managing. With Mars retrograde in your sign until 1 April, avoid wearing yourself out by carrying everything on your own: delegate, rest and save your fire for what matters most. From spring onwards, your vitality clearly picks up.
Jupiter can also push you towards excess: a little too much of everything, too fast. A simple, healthy lifestyle, plenty of sleep and moments of play will keep you at the top of your form all year.
