2027 Horoscope: Leo
Leo horoscope (July 23 – August 22) 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 your sign — this happens once every 12 years and lasts about a year. By tradition, it is a year of growth: new opportunities, confidence, big plans; the flip side is overestimating your own strength.
From July 26. Jupiter in the 2nd house: by tradition, a year that favors money and acquisitions — income grows, but so do appetites.
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 9th house: serious study and a rethinking of beliefs; by tradition, long trips are for business, not leisure.
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, 7th house. Annular solar eclipse. A New Moon in your 7th house is a time for new alliances. By tradition it favors meeting people, making peace, signing contracts and starting joint ventures. 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, 2nd house. Penumbral lunar eclipse. A Full Moon in your 2nd house brings money to a head: income arrives or expenses come to light. By tradition it is the time to take financial stock and avoid impulse purchases. 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.
July 18 — Full Moon in Capricorn, 6th house. Penumbral lunar eclipse. A Full Moon in your 6th house sums up your workload: by tradition it shows where you have overworked. Time to tie up loose ends and listen to your body. 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.
August 2 — New Moon in Leo, 1st house. Total solar eclipse. A New Moon in your sign is a personal New Year in miniature. By tradition it is the best moment of the month to start something for yourself: a routine, a new look, a sport, a project where you are in charge. 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.
August 17 — Full Moon in Aquarius, 7th house. Penumbral lunar eclipse. A Full Moon in your 7th house is by tradition a moment of truth in relationships and partnerships: something is finalized — or ends. Not a time for ultimatums. 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.
Retrograde periods
- Mercury: February 9 – March 3, in Pisces, 8th house → in Aquarius, 7th house
- Mercury: June 10 – July 4, in Cancer, 12th house → in Gemini, 11th house

- Jupiter: start of the year – April 12, in Leo, 1st house
- Saturn: August 9 – December 23, in Aries, 9th house
By tradition a retrograde planet is weakened in its themes: Mercury — contracts, technology, travel; Venus — love and major purchases; Mars — new starts and disputes; Jupiter and Saturn — long-term plans. New things in these areas are best started outside such periods.

How this horoscope is put together
The 2027 horoscope is built on the slow planets: where Jupiter and Saturn stand for Leo, 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 Leo as the 1st house.
Ruler of Leo
The ruler of the sign is the Sun. By tradition, its position and aspects matter more for Leo than for other signs: favourable aspects to the ruler strengthen the whole period, and tense ones make it harder.
