Is 2027 a good year for Leo? Yes, it is your headline year. Jupiter stays in your sign until July 26, finishing a visit that comes about every twelve years, then moves into your second house of money to turn confidence into earnings. The August 2 total solar eclipse falls at 9°55' Leo, the most personal eclipse of 2027 for any sign. The two dates to circle are April 13 (Jupiter turns direct in your sign; the evening of April 12 in the Americas) and August 2 (the eclipse). Dates are computed from the ephemeris in Universal Time, with the tropical zodiac and whole-sign houses counted from Leo. Dates that fall the evening before in the Americas are flagged.

The big transits for Leo in 2027
Jupiter in your first house, then your second. Jupiter entered Leo on June 30, 2026 and turned retrograde at 27°01' Leo on December 13, 2026. It turns direct at 17°00' Leo on April 13 and enters Virgo on July 26 (the evening of July 25 on the Pacific coast). The first half is about presence: how you look and how you lead. Jupiter trines Saturn on April 3 and July 11, linking that confidence with your ninth house of travel, study and belief. The Sun opposes Jupiter on February 11 (February 10 in the Americas), a check on overpromising. From July 26 Jupiter in your second house supports a raise, a better rate or a smarter budget. The full story is in Jupiter in Leo 2026 to 2027.
Saturn and Neptune in your ninth house. Both stay in Aries all year, refining your beliefs and asking you to commit to a course, a move or a philosophy. Saturn turns retrograde on August 9 and direct on December 24 (December 23 in the Americas).
Uranus in your eleventh house. Uranus in Gemini keeps changing your friendships, groups and goals. It turns direct on February 8 and retrograde on September 15.
Pluto and the North Node in your seventh house. Pluto in Aquarius keeps intensifying your partnerships, and the North Node in Aquarius all year points your growth toward other people. The South Node sits in Leo, your first house, asking you to release an old self-image or a need for constant applause. With the nodes on the Leo and Aquarius axis, Leo and Aquarius are the two signs the 2027 eclipses hit hardest.
Leo eclipses 2027
| Date (UTC) | Eclipse | Degree | Your house | What it touches |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Feb 6 | Annular solar | 17°38' Aquarius | 7th | partnership |
| Feb 20 | Penumbral lunar | 2°06' Virgo | 2nd | money, values |
| Jul 18 | Penumbral lunar (faint) | 25°49' Capricorn | 6th | work, health |
| Aug 2 | Total solar | 9°55' Leo | 1st | you, your direction |
| Aug 17 | Penumbral lunar | 24°12' Aquarius | 7th | partnership |
This eclipse is yours. The total solar eclipse on August 2 falls in your first house with about 6 minutes 25 seconds of totality at Luxor, the longest total solar eclipse of any year from 2010 to 2100. It follows the total solar eclipse of August 12, 2026 at 20°02' Leo. Leos born on or near August 2 have it right on their Sun. Expect a reset of who you are and where you are going, such as a new title or the end of a role you have outgrown. It arrives a week after Jupiter leaves your sign, so it marks the handover from one chapter to the next. The Aquarius eclipses of February 6 and August 17 fall in your seventh house and bring a relationship to a turning point in either month. The faint July 18 eclipse, about 25 minutes of shallow shading, touches your work routines. Paths and local times are in the 2027 eclipse guide.
Mercury, Mars and Venus retrograde 2027 for Leo
| Retrograde | Dates (UTC) | Your houses |
|---|---|---|
| Mercury | Feb 9 to Mar 3 (shadow Jan 25 to Mar 23) | 8th, back into the 7th on Feb 18 |
| Mercury | Jun 10 to Jul 4 (shadow May 26 to Jul 19) | 12th, back into the 11th on Jun 26 |
| Mercury | Oct 7 to Oct 28 (shadow Sep 17 to Nov 13) | 4th, back into the 3rd on Oct 16 |
| Mars | Jan 10 to Apr 1 (shadow ends Jun 8) | 2nd, back into your sign on Feb 21 |
| Venus | none in 2027 | next one starts May 10, 2028 |
Mars stations in your second house on January 10, then retrogrades back into Leo on February 21 and turns direct in your sign at 20°56' Leo on April 1. Mars stays in Leo until May 14, so put spring's high energy into a project rather than an argument. The February Mercury retrograde backs into your seventh house on February 18, right after the eclipse there, so an old partner or an unfinished conversation can return. The October one runs through your fourth and third houses, the time to double-check home paperwork and family plans. Every station is in Mercury retrograde 2027.
Leo love and relationships 2027
Partnership intensifies under Pluto, and the Aquarius eclipses ask for honesty. February is the testing month: the eclipse in your seventh house on February 6, the Sun opposite Jupiter on February 11 and Mercury retrograde backing into your seventh on February 18 all put a relationship under a bright light. Say what you need. Venus crosses your seventh house from March 1 to 26 to help repair what February exposed, and again from December 19 to close the year warmly.
For romance, the best single date of 2027 comes early: on January 29 Venus in Sagittarius, your fifth house, trines Jupiter in your sign. Venus is in your fifth from January 7 to February 3 and again from November 1 to 25, and Mars joins it there from October 15 to November 25, so late autumn has real chemistry.
Venus enters Leo on July 27 and stays until August 20, your most magnetic weeks, framed by the eclipse in your sign on August 2. A new relationship that starts here tends to change you. The August 17 eclipse then lights your seventh house.
Leo career and money 2027
Your crowning year settles into quieter consolidation after July. With Jupiter in your sign until July 26, visibility comes easily, so ask for the role. The new moon in Taurus, your tenth house, on May 6 and Venus in your tenth from May 14 to June 8 are the year's best window for interviews, promotions and public work. The full moon in Taurus on November 14 (November 13 in the Americas) shows what that effort earned.
From July 26 Jupiter in your second house converts confidence into earnings. Venus joins it in Virgo on August 20 and meets Jupiter on August 26 (August 25 in the Americas), the best money date of the year. On August 31 the Sun meets Jupiter in the same house and the new moon follows hours later, a clean start for a savings plan, a price rise or a new income stream. Jupiter squares Uranus on September 10, from your money house to your eleventh house, so income can arrive suddenly through a network or a piece of technology. The February 20 eclipse in your second house is an early prompt to review your budget, and Mars retrograde begins there on January 10, so keep spending tight in the first quarter.
Leo health and wellbeing 2027
Mars in your sign from February 21 to May 14, retrograde until April 1, runs your energy hot. Watch for burnout and the strains that come from rushing, and build in recovery days while Mars is retrograde in your sign. Jupiter in your first house can also mean more of everything, so keep the indulgence in proportion.
Your sixth house of daily health is Capricorn. The new moons of January 7 and December 27 fall there, natural starting points for a routine. Venus passes through from February 3 to March 1 and from November 25 to December 19. The faint July 18 eclipse there nudges you to fix a habit. Mars enters Capricorn on November 25, the year's best stretch to train with discipline.
