The headline
Jupiter leaves Leo for Virgo on Jul 26
Try this today
- Before July, say yes to one thing that makes you visible: the open mic, the portfolio post, the toast at the wedding.
- After Jul 26, pick one skill and practice it on a schedule. Virgo Jupiter rewards reps.
- Use the sign picker below to see which house of your chart Jupiter crosses each half of the year.
You know that friend who spends six months saying yes to every party, and then one week in July buys a planner and color-codes it? That is Jupiter in 2027.
Jupiter opens the year at 26°27′ Leo, already moving backward. It stationed retrograde on Dec 13, 2026 at 27°01′ Leo and turns direct on Apr 13, 2027 at 17°00′ Leo, after 121 days. Then it walks forward through the back half of Leo and crosses into Virgo on Jul 26, 2027 · 04:49 UTC.
Astrologers read Jupiter as the planet of growth and generosity, and Leo as the sign of being seen: stage, heart, play, pride. Virgo is the craft sign: skill, service, health habits, the details that make something work. So the year has a clear hinge. The months in Leo favor showing up and taking up space. The months in Virgo favor practice and improvement.
That is the honest version of "lucky" in 2027. Jupiter does not hand out prizes. It points at the part of life where effort tends to feel like it is going somewhere.
The sky behind it
Jupiter spends about 206 days of 2027 in Leo and 159 days in Virgo (sampled every 6 hours). Position on Dec 31, 2027: 27°18′ Virgo.
The big aspect
Jupiter trine Saturn: the year's fire-sign handshake
Try this today
- Put a real deadline on a project between Apr 3 and Jul 11. The window is the point.
- Write the boring part of the plan first. Saturn in Aries likes a clear first step.
Jupiter in Leo and Saturn in Aries sit 120 degrees apart twice this year, exact on Apr 3, 2027 · 12:58 UTC at 17°08′ Leo and 17°08′ Aries, and again on Jul 11, 2027 · 23:16 UTC at 27°10′ Leo and 27°10′ Aries. Both are fire signs, so this is a trine in the same element.
In the tradition, Jupiter expands and Saturn holds the line. When they square or oppose, people talk about tension between risk and caution. When they trine, astrologers read it as the two pulling in the same direction: ambition with a plan behind it.
Saturn itself stays in Aries the whole year, from 8°20′ Aries on January 1 to 21°05′ Aries on December 31. It turns retrograde on Aug 9, 2027 at 27°53′ Aries and direct on Dec 24, 2027 at 21°01′ Aries. Aries is the sign of starting, and Saturn there is read as learning to start things properly: fewer launches, better ones.
The eclipses
Five eclipses, and a total one in Leo on Aug 2

- Look up whether you have planets in Leo, Aquarius, Virgo or Capricorn. Those are the 2027 eclipse signs.

Eclipses 2027Total solar eclipse August 2, 2027Which houses the eclipses hit
2027 has 5 eclipses: 2 solar and 3 lunar. The lunar ones are all penumbral, the subtle kind where the Moon only dims slightly.
The first is an annular solar eclipse on Feb 6, 2027 at 17°38′ Aquarius. The headliner is the total solar eclipse on Aug 2, 2027 at 9°55′ Leo, a long total eclipse that NASA's catalogue tracks over southern Spain, North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.
Astrologers tie eclipses to the Moon's nodes. The mean North Node sits in Aquarius through all of 2027 (22°50′ Aquarius on January 1), with the South Node in Leo, until it moves into Capricorn on Mar 7, 2028. That is why the eclipses cluster on the Leo-Aquarius axis: personal spotlight versus the group, your story versus the network you belong to.
If an eclipse lands near a planet in your birth chart, astrologers read that area of life as up for a reset over the following months. If it does not, it is mostly a beautiful thing in the sky.
The slowdowns
Mars backs up for 81 days, Venus not at all

Every retrograde of 2027Mars retrograde 2027Mercury retrograde 2027
Ten days into the year, Mars turns retrograde. It stations on Jan 10, 2027 · 12:59 UTC at 10°26′ Virgo, slips back into Leo, and turns direct on Apr 1, 2027 at 20°56′ Leo. Counting the shadow, Mars is retracing ground from Nov 5, 2026 to Jun 8, 2027. Astrologers read Mars retrograde as a time to fix the engine rather than floor it: revisit fitness plans, old arguments, half-built projects.
Mercury goes retrograde 3 times, each one starting in a water sign and backing into an air sign: Feb 9 to Mar 3, Jun 10 to Jul 4, Oct 7 to Oct 28.
Venus does not go retrograde in 2027. After the long autumn 2026 retrograde, that is a calm year for the planet of love and money in the tradition.
The outer planets keep their annual habits: Pluto retrograde May 8 to Oct 18, Neptune Jul 9 to Dec 15, Saturn Aug 9 to Dec 24, and Uranus turning direct on Feb 8.
The slow planets
Uranus, Neptune and Pluto line up in friendly angles
Try this today
- Check your chart for anything near 2°18′-6°42′ Gemini, Aries or Aquarius. Those degrees are where the slow planets work in 2027.
- Leave a little slack in September. A square is easier when you have room to move.
Neptune in Aries 2026-2039Pluto in Aquarius 2024-2044North Node in Aquarius
The three outer planets stay put all year: Uranus in Gemini, Neptune in Aries, Pluto in Aquarius. What changes is the geometry between them.
Uranus and Neptune are exactly sextile (60 degrees) on Jan 15, 2027 and Jun 6, 2027. Uranus trines Pluto on Jun 15, 2027, and Neptune sextiles Pluto on Jun 28, 2027 and Oct 16, 2027. Astrologers write about these long, cooperative angles as background conditions for a generation: new ideas (Uranus in an air sign), new ideals (Neptune in a fire sign) and shifting power structures (Pluto in Aquarius), in step rather than at war.
We stop there on purpose. Plenty of sites will tell you what these angles "mean" for elections, markets or wars. Those are guesses wearing a costume. What we can give you is the date each angle is exact and where it falls in your own chart.
The one sharp contact is Jupiter square Uranus on Sep 10, 2027, at 9°57′ Virgo and 9°57′ Gemini. In the tradition it is the urge to break routine, the sudden opportunity, the plan you abandon in a day.

Quick answers
What are the biggest astrology predictions for 2027?
Measured by what the planets actually do: Jupiter moves from Leo into Virgo on Jul 26, 2027; Jupiter and Saturn make an exact fire trine on Apr 3, 2027 and Jul 11, 2027; 2 solar and 3 lunar eclipses fall across the Leo-Aquarius axis and its neighbors; and Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto stay in one sign all year. Astrologers read those as the year's themes. Nobody can tell you what will happen in the news.
What is the luckiest zodiac sign in 2027?
In tradition, the "lucky" signs are the ones Jupiter visits. Jupiter spends about 206 days of 2027 in Leo and about 159 days in Virgo, so Leo and Virgo Suns and risings get the classic Jupiter year. Fire signs (Aries, Sagittarius) feel the Jupiter-Saturn trine; earth signs (Taurus, Capricorn) pick up Jupiter's trine once it reaches Virgo. Luck here means a theme to lean into, not a guarantee.
When does Jupiter enter Virgo in 2027?
Jul 26, 2027 · 04:49 UTC. It stays in Virgo through the end of 2027, sitting at 27°18′ Virgo on December 31.
Are there eclipses in 2027?
Yes, five: annular solar eclipse on Feb 6 at 17°38′ Aquarius; penumbral lunar eclipse on Feb 20 at 1°59′ Virgo; penumbral lunar eclipse on Jul 18 at 25°58′ Capricorn; total solar eclipse on Aug 2 at 9°55′ Leo; penumbral lunar eclipse on Aug 17 at 24°04′ Aquarius. The August 2 total solar eclipse is the long one NASA describes crossing southern Spain, North Africa and the Middle East.
Is Venus retrograde in 2027?
No. Venus does not station retrograde at any point in 2027. Its last retrograde ended in November 2026, and the next one begins in 2028.
How many times is Mercury retrograde in 2027?
3 times: Feb 9 to Mar 3 (Pisces back into Aquarius); Jun 10 to Jul 4 (Cancer back into Gemini); Oct 7 to Oct 28 (Scorpio back into Libra).
What are the USA astrology predictions for 2027?
Astrologers usually read the country's chart from July 4, 1776, but the birth time is disputed and several versions exist. We do not forecast world or national events. What we can tell you is where the 2027 transits fall against each version of that chart, which our USA birth chart pages lay out side by side.
Is 2027 a good year according to astrology?
Astrology does not grade years. It describes weather. 2027 has more flowing contacts than tense ones among the slow planets: an exact Jupiter-Saturn trine, a Uranus-Pluto trine on Jun 15, 2027, and Neptune-Pluto sextiles. The one hard outer contact is Jupiter square Uranus on Sep 10, 2027. Read it as a year that rewards building, with one jolt in early September.
