The main theme: Saturn and Neptune in your 9th house
Saturn and Neptune both spend the whole of 2027 in Aries, your 9th house of travel, study, beliefs and publishing. Saturn is the planet of structure, effort and commitment; Neptune is the planet of ideals and of letting go.
Beliefs, study and travel take a serious turn. Saturn rewards formal training, a qualification or a long project; Neptune pulls you towards meaning and spirituality. Check the details of any course or trip, and follow the one that genuinely calls you.
Saturn turns retrograde on 9 August at 27° Aries and direct again on 24 December at 21° Aries, so late summer and autumn are for reviewing what you started in the spring. Neptune is retrograde from 10 July to 15 December, a quieter season for the same story.
Jupiter: growth in your 1st, then your 2nd house
Jupiter, the planet of growth and opportunity, starts 2027 in Leo, your 1st house. It is retrograde until 13 April, so the first months are for picking up what began in the second half of 2026. From April to late July, growth comes through confidence, a fresh start and opportunities that come to you personally.
On 26 July 2027 Jupiter enters Virgo, your 2nd house, for about a year. The focus moves to income, a raise or a new source of money, and a stronger sense of your worth. More on that move in Jupiter in Virgo 2027.
Eclipses: your 1st and 7th houses
The 2027 eclipses fall mainly on the Leo–Aquarius axis, your 1st and 7th houses. Eclipses are read as turning points that unfold over the following months.
| Date (UTC) | Eclipse | Position | Your house |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 February | Solar (annular) | 17°37′ Aquarius | 7th |
| 20 February | Lunar | 2° Virgo | 2nd |
| 18 July | Lunar (slight) | 25° Capricorn | 6th |
| 2 August | Total solar | 9°55′ Leo | 1st |
| 17 August | Lunar | 24° Aquarius | 7th |
For you, the axis runs between you: body, image and how you come across (1st house) and partnerships and close relationships (7th house). February opens the story on the Aquarius side; August, with the longest total eclipse seen from land until 2114, turns it towards the Leo side. More in the total solar eclipse of 2 August 2027.
Uranus and Pluto in the background
Uranus spends 2027 in Gemini, your 11th house: expect new friends, new groups and changed goals. Pluto is in Aquarius, your 7th house, slowly transforming partnerships and close relationships over many years. Pluto is retrograde from 8 May to 18 October.
Retrogrades to plan around
- Mars retrograde, 10 January to 1 April: Mars turns back at 10° Virgo, re-enters Leo on 21 February and turns direct at 20° Leo. For you that is your 2nd and 1st houses: money, income and self-worth, then you: body, image and how you come across. Finish rather than start; Mars moves forward into Virgo again on 14 May.
- Mercury retrograde, 9 February to 3 March (Pisces back into Aquarius, your 8th and 7th houses).
- Mercury retrograde, 10 June to 5 July (Cancer back into Gemini, your 12th and 11th houses).
- Mercury retrograde, 7 to 28 October (Scorpio back into Libra, your 4th and 3rd houses).
There is no Venus retrograde in 2027.

How to use 2027 as a Leo rising
- Build where Saturn is. Your 9th house is where steady effort pays most this year. Choose one commitment there and keep it.
- Grow where Jupiter is. Until July, say yes to openings in your 1st house; from late July, in your 2nd house.
- Treat the eclipses as turning points. Note what begins around 6 February and 2 August in your 7th and 1st houses, and look back six months later.
- Finish during retrogrades. January to March and the Mercury windows are better for review, repair and follow-up than for launches.

Should I read my Sun sign or my Rising sign horoscope?
Both say something, but the Rising sign places the planets in your houses, which is why this page is organised by Rising sign. If you know both, read both.
I don't know my birth time. Can I use this?
Use the page for your Sun sign instead; it is a rough guide. With a birth time, the rising sign calculator gives you the right page.
Where a personal reading goes further
A Rising-sign page puts the planets in the right houses. It cannot tell you which of your own planets the transits touch, in which months the contacts are exact, or how 2027 fits with your progressions and returns. That is what your own chart shows.
For the twelve months ahead, Mr. Tanker reads the slow transits, retrogrades and eclipses against your chart and signs the result. The free version is a short written outlook; the paid Annual Personal Algorithm maps every month, with when to act and when to wait.
