Questions and answers
What are the most important astrology dates in 2027?
Three stand out: the total solar eclipse on August 2 at 9° Leo, Jupiter's move from Leo into Virgo on July 26, and the Mars retrograde from January 10 to April 1. Add four more eclipses, on February 6, February 20, July 18 and August 17, and three Mercury retrograde periods. Saturn and Neptune stay in Aries all year.
Is 2027 a good year?
Astrology does not sort years into good and bad. It describes themes, not outcomes. The sky of 2027 is the same for everyone, and a calendar like this one cannot say how your year will go. Astrologers use the dates as prompts for reflection: what to review, what to begin, and what has become clear.
When is Mercury retrograde in 2027?
Three times: from February 9 to March 3, from June 10 to July 4, and from October 7 to October 28. Each period lasts about three weeks. Mercury does not really move backward. It only appears to, seen from Earth. Astrologers read these weeks as a time to review, re-check and slow down. Nothing has to wait.
Are Venus or Mars retrograde in 2027?
Venus is not retrograde in 2027. It is retrograde only about every 18 months. Mars is retrograde from January 10 to April 1, moving from 10° Virgo back to 20° Leo, which happens only about every two years. Astrologers read a Mars retrograde as a time to pace yourself, not as a ban on starting things.
When are the eclipses in 2027, and can the total solar eclipse be seen from the United States?
The solar eclipses fall on February 6 (annular) and August 2 (total). The three lunar eclipses, all penumbral, fall on February 20, July 18 and August 17. The path of the total eclipse of August 2 crosses southern Spain, North Africa and Egypt. It is not visible as a total eclipse from the United States.
What does the sky of 2027 mean for my zodiac sign?
A horoscope by zodiac sign looks only at your Sun sign, which about one person in twelve shares. What 2027 suggests for you depends on where the moving sky touches your whole birth chart: which house a planet moves through, and which of your own planets it meets. That depends on your Rising sign, and so on your birth time.
The calendar shows the sky for everyone. Your birth chart shows where it touches you.
