2027 Horoscope: Capricorn
Capricorn horoscope (December 22 – January 19) for 2027: the main themes of the year from Jupiter and Saturn, eclipses and retrograde planets, the best months for love, work and money, and a detailed look at each month.
The year in brief
Until July 26. Jupiter in the 8th house: a year of shared money — loans, inheritance, a partner's income — and deep change.
From July 26. Jupiter in the 9th house is in one of its best placements: a year of long journeys, study, publications and a new view of the world.
Jupiter is retrograde right now — this happens for about four months a year. By tradition, growth turns inward: a time to review your plans rather than expand.
Saturn in the 4th house: worries about home and parents, renovations, responsibility for the family.
Saturn is retrograde right now — for about four and a half months a year. By tradition, a time to go back to unfinished obligations.
By tradition the tone of the period is light: harmonious aspects (93) clearly outnumber tense ones (75). A good time to move things forward and ask for what you want.
Planet positions, aspects and eclipses are from the JPL DE421 ephemeris. Houses are counted from the sign: the sign itself is the 1st house, the next one the 2nd, and so on. Good and difficult days are chosen by the rules of tradition: the Moon's house, planet positions, the day's aspects, New and Full Moons and eclipses.
Events of the year
Eclipses
February 6 — New Moon in Aquarius, 2nd house. Annular solar eclipse. A New Moon in your 2nd house opens a money cycle. By tradition it is the time to set a budget, look for a new source of income, make well-considered purchases and start saving. By tradition an eclipse acts more strongly than an ordinary lunation and for months ahead: events in this area arrive suddenly, and it is advised not to schedule important beginnings on the day itself or a couple of days either side.
February 20 — Full Moon in Virgo, 9th house. Penumbral lunar eclipse. A Full Moon in your 9th house brings results in study, travel and legal matters: exam results and decisions arrive. By tradition a good time to finish rather than to start.

July 18 — Full Moon in Capricorn, 1st house. Penumbral lunar eclipse. A Full Moon in your sign is a peak of personal strength and emotion.

How this horoscope is put together
The 2027 horoscope is built on the slow planets: where Jupiter and Saturn stand for Capricorn, which houses Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are moving through, which houses the eclipses fall in and when planets are retrograde. These are the main themes of the year — days and weeks don't change them.
The monthly breakdown and the best months for love, work, money and energy are the sum of scores for every day of the month: the Moon's house, the positions of Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, retrograde periods, aspects, lunations and eclipses. All dates come from the JPL DE421 ephemeris; houses are solar houses, with Capricorn as the 1st house.
Ruler of Capricorn
The ruler of the sign is Saturn. By tradition, its position and aspects matter more for Capricorn than for other signs: favourable aspects to the ruler strengthen the whole period, and tense ones make it harder.
