The main themes of 2027
The eclipses of 2027 fall on the Leo–Aquarius axis: themes of personal expression, love and creativity on one side, and friends, communities and the future on the other. The highlight of the year is the total solar eclipse of August 2 at 9°55′ Leo, the longest of the century.
Jupiter, the planet of growth, spends the first half of the year in Leo and enters Virgo on July 26, where it stays for about a year. Saturn and Neptune remain in Aries all year — a long-term theme of new beginnings and personal responsibility. Uranus continues through Gemini, Pluto through Aquarius.
Mars spends a long time in Leo and Virgo: it is retrograde from January 10 to April 1, then moves through Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius in the second half of the year. Venus is not retrograde in 2027, which astrologers consider a calm sign for relationships.
