The 2027 horoscope is shaped by two steady forces: Saturn spending the whole year in Aries, asking for courage with responsibility, and Jupiter moving from Leo into Virgo in late July, shifting growth from self-expression to useful, practical work. Add three Mercury retrogrades, an early-year Mars retrograde and two solar eclipses, and 2027 becomes a year for building carefully.

The big movements of 2027

Saturn in Aries all year

Saturn entered Aries in 2026 and remains there throughout 2027, turning retrograde on 9 August and direct again on 24 December. Saturn in Aries asks us to act with integrity, take responsibility for our own direction and develop leadership that lasts rather than flares.

Jupiter from Leo to Virgo

Jupiter starts the year retrograde in Leo, turns direct on 13 April and moves into Virgo on 26 July 2027. The first half of the year favours confidence, creativity and generosity; the second half favours skill, service, improvement and well-organised routines.

What the change of sign means in practice

Opportunities that arrive in the first half of the year may feel expressive and visible. From late July, they are more likely to reward careful preparation and practical competence.

The slower outer planets

Uranus continues through Gemini, Neptune through Aries and Pluto through Aquarius. Together they keep the collective themes of new ideas, new beginnings and changing communities in the background all year.

Dates to note in 2027

10 January to 1 April – Mars retrograde, from Virgo back into Leo. A time to review plans rather than force them.
6 February – Annular solar eclipse in Aquarius.
9 February to 3 March – First Mercury retrograde, from Pisces back into Aquarius.
10 June to 4 July – Second Mercury retrograde, from Cancer back into Gemini.
26 July – Jupiter enters Virgo.
2 August – Total solar eclipse in Leo.
7 to 28 October – Third Mercury retrograde, from Scorpio back into Libra.

There is no Venus retrograde in 2027, after the Scorpio and Libra cycle of autumn 2026. That makes the year relatively steady for relationships and for choosing dates for weddings and celebrations.

Your 2027 horoscope, sign by sign

Aries

Saturn in your sign makes this a defining year for self-direction. Responsibilities may increase, but so does your authority. From late July, Jupiter supports better daily routines and more satisfying work.

Taurus

Saturn moves through a quiet, reflective part of your chart, asking you to rest and complete old cycles. Jupiter brightens home life early on, then creativity and romance from late July.

Gemini

Friendships and community ask for commitment. Jupiter supports communication and learning in the first half, then home and family from late July. With Uranus in your sign, expect fresh starts.

Cancer

Career and public responsibility become serious projects under Saturn. Jupiter focuses you on values and self-worth early in the year, then on learning and conversation from late July.

Leo

Jupiter in your sign until late July brings confidence and visibility; the total solar eclipse in Leo on 2 August marks a personal turning point. Saturn encourages disciplined study or travel plans.

Virgo

Mars retrograde in your sign early in the year asks for patience. From 26 July, Jupiter arrives in Virgo for the first time in about twelve years, opening a new chapter of personal growth.

Libra

Saturn in your opposite sign makes partnerships the central lesson of 2027. Commitments deepen or are renegotiated. Jupiter supports friendships early, then rest and reflection later in the year.

Scorpio

Work routines and responsibilities call for structure. Jupiter highlights career in the first half and friendships and future hopes from late July. The October Mercury retrograde begins in your sign.

Sagittarius

Saturn supports disciplined creativity and more mature ways of enjoying life. Jupiter, your ruler, favours travel and study early in the year and career direction from late July.

Capricorn

Home and family foundations need attention under Saturn. Jupiter highlights shared commitments and trust early on, then learning, travel and wider horizons from late July.

Aquarius

The February eclipse in your sign opens the year with a sense of reset. Saturn asks for careful communication; Jupiter emphasises partnerships first and deeper shared commitments later.

Pisces

Saturn asks you to clarify your values and how you use your energy. Jupiter supports daily routines early and partnerships from late July. The first Mercury retrograde begins in your sign.

Western and Vedic views of the same year

The positions above use the tropical zodiac, as most Sun-sign horoscopes do. Vedic astrology uses the sidereal zodiac, in which placements sit roughly 24 degrees earlier, so a planet may still be in the previous sign. That is one reason Vedic and Western yearly forecasts can read differently. In a personal reading I work with your Vedic birth chart, including your Moon sign and planetary periods, which often describe your year more precisely than any Sun-sign overview.
