Your 2027 sky
The big moments of 2027 that touch your own chart: eclipses, the slow planets, Venus and Mars over your Sun, your solar return, and the retrogrades that land on your placements. Everything is worked out in this browser.
The 2027 sky everyone shares
Five eclipses, the retrogrades, and where the slow planets spend the year. These dates are the same for everyone; what they touch depends on the chart.
Where the slow planets spend 2027
- Jupiter: Leo until July 26, then Virgo.
- Saturn: Aries all year.
- Uranus: Gemini all year.
- Neptune: Aries all year.
- Pluto: Aquarius all year.
January to March
Jupiter retrograde
Growth slows down to be checked. A season for finishing what the year started.
December 13, 2026 to April 13, in Leo. The shadow runs September 17, 2026 to July 11.
Uranus retrograde
The changes of recent years settle in, and you see which ones you meant.
September 10, 2026 to February 8, in Gemini. The shadow runs May 25, 2026 to May 26.
Mars retrograde
Energy turns inward. A long stretch for revising how you push, not for picking new fights.
January 10 to April 1, in Virgo and Leo. The shadow runs November 5, 2026 to June 8.
Annular solar eclipse
A new Moon with extra weight at 17° Aquarius. Astrologers read solar eclipses as beginnings that arrive sooner than planned.
February 6
Mercury retrograde
Plans, messages and travel want a second look. Finish, review and repair before you launch.
February 9 to March 3, in Pisces and Aquarius. The shadow runs January 25 to March 23.
Penumbral lunar eclipse
A full Moon with extra weight at 1° Virgo. Lunar eclipses are read as endings and clear-outs. This one is penumbral, faint to the eye.
February 20
April to June
Pluto retrograde
The deep work goes quiet and personal.
May 8 to October 18, in Aquarius. The shadow runs January 13 to February 9, 2028.
Mercury retrograde
Plans, messages and travel want a second look. Finish, review and repair before you launch.
June 10 to July 4, in Cancer and Gemini. The shadow runs May 26 to July 19.
July to September
Neptune retrograde
The fog lifts a little. Hopes get a gentle reality check.
July 9 to December 15, in Aries. The shadow runs March 18 to April 4, 2028.
Penumbral lunar eclipse
A full Moon with extra weight at 25° Capricorn. Lunar eclipses are read as endings and clear-outs. This one is penumbral and so slight that no eye or camera will see it: NASA gives it a penumbral magnitude of 0.0014.
July 18
Jupiter enters Virgo
Jupiter stays in Virgo until August 24, 2028: about a year of growth pointed at craft and useful work.
July 26
Total solar eclipse
A new Moon with extra weight at 9° Leo. Astrologers read solar eclipses as beginnings that arrive sooner than planned. This one is total: the Moon covers the whole Sun along its path.
August 2
Saturn retrograde
Commitments get reviewed from the inside. Quiet work on foundations pays off later.
August 9 to December 24, in Aries. The shadow runs May 4 to March 27, 2028.
Penumbral lunar eclipse
A full Moon with extra weight at 24° Aquarius. Lunar eclipses are read as endings and clear-outs. This one is penumbral, faint to the eye.
August 17
Uranus retrograde
The changes of recent years settle in, and you see which ones you meant.
September 15 to February 12, 2028, in Gemini. The shadow runs May 30 to May 29, 2028.
October to December
Mercury retrograde
Plans, messages and travel want a second look. Finish, review and repair before you launch.
