The sky in 2027
Jupiter spends the first seven months of 2027 in Leo and moves into Virgo in late July, so every sign feels a shift in the area of life where growth comes most easily. Saturn stays in Aries the whole year, a traditionally difficult sign for it, asking for patience in the area of life Aries rules for your sign. The eclipses fall mostly in Leo and Aquarius, with lunar eclipses in Virgo and Capricorn. Mars is retrograde from Virgo back into Leo early in the year, Mercury turns retrograde three times, and Venus has no retrograde at all in 2027.
