Babies born in 2027: one sky for the whole class
In 2027 not one slow planet changes sign. Every baby shares the same back row, and the fun is all in the front: a long Mars retrograde, Jupiter into Virgo, a Fire Goat new moon eclipse.

Every baby born in 2027 has Saturn in Aries, Neptune in Aries, Uranus in Gemini, Pluto in Aquarius and the North Node in Aquarius. What changes is the Sun, Moon, Mars (retrograde Jan 10 to Apr 1) and Jupiter.

Neptune in Aries 2026 to 2039Saturn return: what age it happens
Here is something you rarely get to say about a birth year: in 2027, nobody's slow planets are up for debate.
Saturn spends the whole year in Aries, 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, its furthest point of the year, close to the end of the sign, and never crosses into Taurus.
Neptune stays in Aries (1°43′ Aries to 3°56′ Aries). Uranus stays in Gemini (2°18′ Gemini to 6°42′ Gemini). Pluto stays in Aquarius. The mean North Node stays in Aquarius too, so the nodal axis is Aquarius and Leo for everyone.
Compare that with 2026, when Neptune, Saturn, Uranus and the Node all changed sign. If your older child was born in early 2026 and the younger one in 2027, their back rows can look quite different. Two 2027 babies, though, will match there no matter which months they were born in.

Mars retrograde babies: Jan 10 to Apr 1, 2027

- Due between January and May 2027? Use the finder to see Mars's sign and direction for your date.
- Born near Feb 21 or May 14? Those are the days Mars changes sign; the hour matters.
If the slow planets are the same for everybody, Mars is where 2027 gets interesting.
Mars enters 2027 already in Virgo, where it arrived on Nov 25, 2026. It stations retrograde on Jan 10, 2027 at 10°26′ Virgo, slides back into Leo on Feb 21, 2027, stations direct on Apr 1, 2027 at 20°56′ Leo, and finally re-enters Virgo on May 14, 2027.
So a baby born in March 2027 has Mars in Leo, retrograde. A baby born in January has Mars in Virgo, and from the 10th, retrograde. A baby born in early May has Mars direct in Leo. That is a lot of variety for one planet in one spring.
Astrologers often describe a retrograde Mars as energy that turns inward before it goes out: a child who thinks before they push. It is a reading, not a rule, and about one baby in 5 born in 2027 will have it.
East meets West
Fire Horse until Feb 5, then the Fire Goat

- Due in early February 2027? Check which side of the new year the date lands on before you buy the horse-themed onesie.
- Note both the Chinese year and the Western big three in the baby book. Relatives will ask for one or the other.
The Chinese year turns at a new moon, not at midnight on January 1. In 2027 that new moon falls on Feb 6, 2027 in China, which opens the Fire Goat year (the same animal is often translated Sheep or Ram).
So babies born January 1 to Feb 5, 2027 finish off the Fire Horse year that began on Feb 17, 2026. Babies born from Feb 6 onward are Fire Goats, through Jan 25, 2028. For the second year running, the new moon that opens the Chinese year is also a solar eclipse, this time at 17°38′ Aquarius.
Western astrology does not use the goat, but it has its own: Capricorn, the sea-goat, which is the Sun sign of babies born from Dec 22 to the end of the year and in the first weeks of January. They are different symbols from different traditions, and it is fine to enjoy both.

Leo Jupiter or Virgo Jupiter: the July 26 switch
Try this today
- Born in late July 2027? Enter the time in the finder. Jupiter enters Virgo at 04:49 UTC.
Jupiter takes about a year in each sign, which puts it halfway between the personal planets and the generational ones. In 2027 it is the only planet beyond Mars that changes sign.
Babies born before Jul 26, 2027 have Jupiter in Leo (206 days of the year). Babies born on or after that date have Jupiter in Virgo (159 days). Jupiter is retrograde at the start of the year and stations direct on Apr 13, 2027.
Tradition reads Jupiter in Leo as generosity with a spotlight and Jupiter in Virgo as growth through skill and care. Neither is the lucky one.
The personal planets add the rest. Mercury turns retrograde 3 times: Feb 9 to Mar 3, Jun 10 to Jul 4, Oct 7 to Oct 28. Venus never turns retrograde in 2027. The Moon changes sign 160 times.

Retrograde that day: Mars, Jupiter. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto barely move in a year, which is why astrologers call them generational. The Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars are the personal part.

Eclipse babies
The August 2 total solar eclipse
The second solar eclipse of 2027 falls on Aug 2, 2027 · 10:05 UTC at 9°55′ Leo, and NASA lists it as total along its path. The first, on Feb 6, 2027 at 17°38′ Aquarius, is the Fire Goat new moon. All three 2027 lunar eclipses are penumbral, the faint kind.

A 2026 big sibling, a 2027 baby
If the older one arrived before Apr 26, 2026, they have Uranus in Taurus and the baby has Uranus in Gemini. If they arrived before Feb 14, 2026, their Saturn is in Pisces. Everything else in the back row will likely match.

Quick answers
What are the 2027 baby zodiac signs?
Every sign, by date. Capricorn runs Jan 1 to Jan 19, Aquarius starts Jan 20, Aries Mar 20, Leo Jul 23, Scorpio Oct 23 and the Sun returns to Capricorn on Dec 22. The full table with times is below.
What is unique about babies born in 2027 astrology?
It is a steady year. Saturn and Neptune stay in Aries, Uranus in Gemini, Pluto in Aquarius and the mean North Node in Aquarius from January 1 to December 31. Every 2027 baby shares the same five slow placements; only the fast planets set them apart.
Is a baby born in 2027 a Fire Horse or a Fire Goat?
It depends on the date. Babies born Jan 1 to Feb 5, 2027 are still in the Fire Horse year that began on Feb 17, 2026. From Feb 6, 2027 to Jan 25, 2028 it is the Fire Goat year (also called Sheep or Ram).
Is Mars retrograde in 2027?
Yes. Mars stations retrograde on Jan 10, 2027 · 12:59 UTC at 10°26′ Virgo and direct on Apr 1, 2027 · 14:08 UTC at 20°56′ Leo. A baby born in that window has retrograde Mars, which is common and not a bad omen.
Is Venus retrograde in 2027?
No. Venus has no retrograde station in 2027, so no 2027 baby is born with retrograde Venus.
When are the eclipses in 2027?
Solar eclipses on Feb 6, 2027 (17°38′ Aquarius) and Aug 2, 2027 (9°55′ Leo), and penumbral lunar eclipses on Feb 20, Jul 18, Aug 17. The August 2 solar eclipse is total along its path, per NASA.
How are 2026 and 2027 babies different astrologically?
Many 2026 babies have Saturn in Pisces, Neptune in Pisces, Uranus in Taurus or the North Node in Pisces, depending on the date, because those planets changed sign during 2026. In 2027 none of them move. 2027 babies also get a Mars retrograde and Jupiter moving from Leo to Virgo on Jul 26, 2027.
