Welcome to your year
Welcome to your year ahead. This report reads the year's moving sky against your own birth chart, not just your Sun sign. As the slow movers, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, travel on, they meet the points of that chart: your planets and, when a birth time is known, your Ascendant and Midheaven. Each touch colors the themes, moods and choices that tend to come forward. Treat what follows as a forecast of seasons: useful for planning, open to your own judgment, and never a script.
How to read this
Headlines follow the year overview when your year has them: the biggest personal contacts, ranked by strength. "Also in play" gathers smaller ones. Each contact carries a chip naming the planet, a symbol for the kind of contact and its exact dates. Phases show where a theme stands: building as it approaches, exact at its peak, easing as it fades. Month cards walk through the year one month at a time. These themes unfold over weeks or months, not single days, so treat them as stretches rather than appointments.
Dates are given for the Europe/London time zone.
The sky in 2027
The sky everyone shares this year
2027 is a year of beginnings that ask for patience. Saturn spends all twelve months in Aries, the sign of first steps, and early Aries also holds Neptune, so fresh starts and long-held dreams tend to share a room with steady effort and honest limits. Uranus moves through early Gemini, stirring the way people learn, talk and connect, while Pluto works quietly in early Aquarius on how groups and friendships take shape. Jupiter opens the year retrograde in Leo, turns forward in April and crosses into Virgo in late July, a shift from bold self-expression toward craft, care and useful improvement. Mars runs retrograde from January to the start of April, backing out of Virgo into Leo, which favors finishing and revising over launching. Mercury retrogrades three times: February into March, June into July, and again in October. Five eclipses, most of them across Leo and Aquarius, keep returning to one question: how your own light fits inside the circle you belong to. Taken as a whole, the year favors small beginnings tended with patience over grand leaps.
Your headline transits
The biggest contacts the slow planets make with your chart this year
Pluto ☍ your Ascendant
exact Mar 31, Jun 16Three passes, two this year
The first impression you give the world
The way you come across can meet real pushback in this stretch.
Active Feb 2 to Aug 25 and Dec 8 to the year's end
With Pluto challenging your Ascendant, close partners, rivals or demanding situations can mirror back parts of yourself you would rather not see: a need to stay in control, a guardedness that reads as coldness, charm used as armor. You may notice who leads and who yields in one-to-one relationships. Picture a tree in a strong wind: it stays upright because its roots go down and its branches give a little. A good time to look at how you hold your ground, where you give it up too easily and where you push too hard. Let your stance be firm at the core and flexible at the edges.
Neptune □ your Moon
exact Mar 25, Nov 14Three passes, two this year
The emotional needs that help you feel safe
What you need can be oddly hard to pin down.
Active Feb 12 to May 6 and Sep 15 to the year's end
You might come home tired, open the fridge, close it again, and still not know whether you want company, quiet or comfort, while the people and places you count on for security feel a touch less solid. Old family stories sometimes come up for review, and you may see someone you idealized in a more human light. Guessing at your needs tends to leave you hungrier, so try naming them plainly, to yourself and to the people who share your life. Watch for the urge to escape discomfort through distraction. Simple structure is your friend: steady routines, direct conversations, and a home base that feels calm. Clarity tends to return in layers, each worth the patience it takes.
Saturn ☌ your Mars
exact May 20, Nov 8Three passes, two this year
The drive and nerve behind your actions
Drive meets resistance here, and the resistance is part of the training.
Active May 3 to Jun 8 and Oct 13 to the year's end
With Saturn sitting on your Mars, pushing harder does not always move things faster, and frustration can build when effort seems to outpace results. Energy is better spent in an even stream than in bursts. Anger may simmer more than it flares, which makes honest, controlled expression important. Physical routines, ambitious projects and anything that needs courage over the long haul are where this contact is most often felt. It can build real strength, the kind that comes from repetition and restraint. Train for distance rather than speed: break a big goal into firm steps and choose your battles with care. Impatience, handled this way, slowly turns into endurance.
Saturn ☌ your Midheaven
exact Mar 21
The public direction your life is taking
Your public life tends to step into a bright, exacting light as Saturn crosses the top of your chart, the Midheaven.
Active Mar 5 to Apr 5
You may notice that reputation and sense of direction take center stage, and that responsibility arrives along with recognition. Efforts made over many seasons come under review here, with solid work becoming more visible and weak foundations harder to ignore. Authority may be offered or expected, and people tend to watch what you do with it far more closely than what you say. Decide what you want to be known for, then take on the duties that build toward it and carry each one well enough that it speaks for you.
Neptune △ your Ascendant
in orb Apr 29 to Sep 24
The first impression you give the world
A quiet magnetism colors the way you show up.
Others may find you easier to approach and more comforting to be around, and your intuition about first impressions tends to be sharp. Put that to work by refreshing your personal style toward something more expressive, stepping into a creative or caring role, or beginning a practice such as dance, swimming or meditation that brings imagination and physical presence together. Let more of yourself be seen than usual, too: share the portfolio, take the stage, or bring a softer tone to a conversation that has been stuck. The ease is an invitation to be visible, and people tend to answer warmly when you lead with gentleness instead of polish.
Also in play
Smaller contacts worth knowing about
Uranus ☌ your Mercury
exact Jul 25, Nov 7
Active Jun 24 to Dec 13
Lightning tends to strike where Uranus lands, and now it lands on your Mercury, the way you think, learn and speak. The familiar way of doing things may start to sound like a song on repeat, and a bright idea or impulse may arrive before you have a plan for it. Experiment tends to work better than control here: try a new method, a new rhythm, a different approach to an old task. You may notice restlessness first and clarity later. Give the surprise some room, keep one steady anchor close, and let the change show you what it is for.
Pluto □ your Jupiter
in orb Mar 16 to Jul 3
Under Pluto's pressure, your Jupiter, the hopeful reach that helps you grow, can become a place where power struggles gather and old patterns that no longer serve you rise to the surface. None of this is a punishment. Strain of this depth tends to drag hidden motives and automatic reactions into the light, and seeing them clearly is half the work. When a struggle flares, ask what it is really about, then choose your battles: not every challenge needs an answer. Steady self-awareness usually serves you better than force here, and what it costs in ease it repays in self-respect.
Jupiter's house
Where growth and good luck tend to gather
Jupiter in your 2nd house
Jan 1 to Jan 28Jun 23 to Oct 7
What do you value, and what do you believe you are worth? With Jupiter moving through your second house, those questions come forward in a hopeful light. This part of the chart covers resources in the widest sense: skills, time, possessions and the quiet confidence that you have something to offer. A wish often surfaces to put a fairer price on your effort, to build steadier footing, or to spend your energy on what truly matters rather than what merely seems expected. Taking stock of your talents, and finding new ways to put them to work, suits this stretch well. Jupiter's openhandedness makes generosity easy and restraint a little harder, so a simple plan keeps the mood buoyant without letting it drift. Underneath it all, self-worth tends to grow from the inside, and that shapes every choice about how you earn, save and share.
Jupiter in your 1st house
Jan 28 to Jun 23
Jupiter crossing your first house tends to turn the spotlight toward you: your presence, your body, your energy and the impression you leave when you arrive somewhere new. There is often more room to be yourself, as if the world has widened its doorway just enough for you to walk through at full height. You may notice bolder first impressions, more appetite for fresh starts, and a readiness to try a new look, a new routine or a new way of introducing yourself. Begin things that carry your own name and reflect what you want next. If the generous mood starts tipping toward overdoing, let your body set the pace and keep promises to yourself realistic. Growth here is personal rather than borrowed: the more honestly you show up, the more this expansive season tends to meet you halfway.
The 5 eclipses
Resets and reveals, and where they land in your chart
Annular solar eclipse in Aquarius
Feb 6Your 7th house
The Moon leaves a bright ring of Sun around its edge in this annular solar eclipse in Aquarius. Friends, groups and shared hopes come to the fore, and plans made with others in mind may find quiet support.
Someone new may step into the frame, or someone familiar may show up in a different light. The seventh house holds your one-to-one bonds, from partners to close collaborators, and a solar eclipse here opens a fresh chapter in how you pair up. Often the draw is a person who reflects a quality you are ready to develop in yourself. Notice who that is, then picture what the two of you could start: a shared project, a new ritual, an adventure neither of you would try alone.
Penumbral lunar eclipse in Virgo
Feb 20Your 2nd house
Gentle sorting is the mood of this penumbral lunar eclipse in early Virgo, a faint shading on the Full Moon that is easy to miss. It suits tidying one routine and letting a small, tired habit go.
A lunar eclipse across your second house brings questions of worth to a head. Something you have been building, holding on to or quietly relying on comes into full view, and you get to decide whether it still belongs to you. This stretch tends to show whether your daily choices match what you truly value. A good time to release a possession kept only because it once defined you, or the habit of measuring your worth by someone else's yardstick, and to keep what genuinely feeds you.
Penumbral lunar eclipse in Capricorn
Jul 18Your 6th house
Quiet and subtle, the penumbral lunar eclipse in late Capricorn falls with the Sun in Cancer across the sky, bringing home and duty into one frame. You may notice which responsibilities still fit and which you have outgrown.
Your working week comes under a bright lamp when a lunar eclipse lands in your sixth house. Routines that once helped may now feel like a cage, and a pattern of overwork or self-neglect may become impossible to ignore. This stretch is a fitting time to close a chapter in how you work and look after yourself: the late nights, the lunch eaten standing up, the screen still glowing past bedtime. Ask what the old rhythm taught you. The answer tends to show what your days now need.
Total solar eclipse in Leo
Aug 2Your 1st house
For a few minutes, the Moon covers the Sun completely along a narrow track: the total solar eclipse in Leo. Its tone is bold and warm-hearted, a moment to start a creative project or let your playful side lead.
Picture a sunrise that begins exactly where you stand: a solar eclipse in your first house puts the starting point in your own hands. This house is about your body, your energy and the space you take up in the world. A new way of showing up may start to form: a different haircut, a stride that feels more like yours, a warmer hello for strangers. Let the change show before you explain it: in this house, presence tends to speak before words do.
Penumbral lunar eclipse in Aquarius
Aug 17Your 8th house
What you want for yourself and what the people around you need sit side by side at the penumbral lunar eclipse in late Aquarius. Generosity tends to help: sharing credit and listening first keep the balance kind.
Deep water clears when a lunar eclipse passes through your eighth house, the house of intimacy, trust and joint resources. A feeling held back, or a fear of being fully known, may surface now, often more gently than you braced for. Once it is in the open, shared ground tends to look less like a guarded border and more like common land. Trust that rests on what both people can see has room to deepen, and what you hold together can be tended in daylight.
Mercury retrograde
Times for second looks, and the part of life they touch
Mercury retrograde in your 8th house
Feb 9 to Mar 3
This retrograde falls in your eighth house, so the review turns toward trust and what you share. Joint paperwork, shared accounts and the unspoken rules of close bonds are worth a careful reread. What does trust actually rest on with the people closest to you? Saying plainly what each of you counts on, gently and without blame, tends to make a bond feel safer. Read everything before signing, and let a tender subject unfold over more than one conversation.
Mercury retrograde in your 12th house
Jun 10 to Jul 4
Dreams may feel vivid and thoughts may circle at night, and both belong to the quiet sorting that a Mercury retrograde in your twelfth house tends to bring. Stillness untangles what busy days keep knotted, so solitude may help more than conversation. Journal, rest and tie up loose ends behind the scenes. In the calm, a choice that seemed complicated can turn simple, and the next step tends to come from a clearer mind.
Mercury retrograde in your 4th house
Oct 7 to Oct 28
Family conversations, plans for the home and memories of where you come from tend to resurface for another look when Mercury turns retrograde in your fourth house. An old repair or paperwork for your living space may ask for attention. Listen more than you explain, and agree on who handles which household task before small frictions build. A family story you know by heart may show you something new when you hear it with fresh ears.

January
Capricorn season sets a sober, capable tone for the opening weeks, and a New Moon in Capricorn early on suits plans you mean to keep. Then Mars turns retrograde in Virgo, slowing the push behind work and routines, a good time to review before you rebuild. The Sun moves into Aquarius late in the month, and a Leo Full Moon asks for a little warmth and play.
Jupiter □ your Sun · exact Jan 31 · 3 passes
This month holds the peak: Jupiter makes its exact contact on Jan 31. The weeks around it often show the theme most vividly, so give it your attention.
Jupiter △ your MarsSaturn ✶ your MercuryJupiter ✶ your VenusSaturn △ your Ascendant
February
EclipseMercury retrograde
Eclipse season arrives early, and its annular solar eclipse in Aquarius is a good moment to notice whose company you want close. A soft penumbral lunar eclipse in Virgo follows a fortnight later. In between, Mercury turns retrograde in Pisces, so messages and plans may need a second look, while Uranus turns direct in Gemini. Mars, still retrograde, backs into Leo just as Pisces season begins.
Pluto ☍ your Ascendant · building to Mar 31 · 3 passes
Pluto is still approaching, with the exact contact around Mar 31. The theme tends to gather slowly, so early hints are worth noticing: a good time to prepare.
Neptune □ your MoonJupiter □ your SunJupiter △ your MarsSaturn ✶ your MercuryJupiter ✶ your Venus
March
Mercury retrograde
Early in March, Mercury turns direct in Aquarius, a good time to sort replies, forms and travel plans. A Pisces New Moon favors rest, music and the gentler kind of planning. At the equinox the Sun enters Aries, joining Saturn and Neptune, and a Libra Full Moon soon after puts the balance in your relationships on the table. Mars and Jupiter are still retrograde in Leo, so pace yourself.

Neptune □ your MoonSaturn ☌ your MidheavenPluto □ your JupiterJupiter △ your Midheaven
April
Two planets turn forward in April, and you may notice the shift. Mars goes direct in Leo at the start, and Jupiter follows mid-month, so stalled efforts and generous ideas tend to regain their momentum. An Aries New Moon early on is a good time to begin something small and real. Taurus season arrives late in the month alongside a Scorpio Full Moon, a moment for steadiness and honest feeling.
Pluto ☍ your Ascendant · returning, exact Mar 31 · 3 passes
A retrograde loop carries Pluto back over this contact, so the theme returns in waves. The nearest exact hit falls around Mar 31, and each pass tends to deepen it.
Neptune □ your MoonSaturn ☌ your MidheavenNeptune △ your AscendantSaturn ✶ your VenusPluto □ your JupiterJupiter △ your Midheaven
May
Under a Taurus sky, May favors patience, comfort and things built by hand. Early on, a New Moon in Taurus suits slow, sensible beginnings, and Pluto turns retrograde in Aquarius, inviting a quieter look at the groups you belong to. Mars returns to Virgo mid-month, putting energy back into routines and craft. After a second Scorpio Full Moon in a row, Gemini season brings livelier talk and a lighter step.
Pluto ☍ your Ascendant · returning, exact Jun 16 · 3 passes

June
Mercury retrograde
June begins curious and talkative with a Gemini New Moon, a good time to start a course or reopen a conversation. Mercury turns retrograde in Cancer before mid-month, so family plans and old feelings may come back for review. A Sagittarius Full Moon widens the view, and the solstice brings the Sun into Cancer, where home and belonging take the lead. Mercury backs into Gemini near the end.

July
EclipseMercury retrograde
A busy month with a turning point near the end. Mercury goes direct as a Cancer New Moon opens July, and Neptune turns retrograde in Aries, softening the urge to rush. Mars moves into Libra mid-month, then a penumbral lunar eclipse in Capricorn opens the second eclipse season. Late in the month Leo season starts and Jupiter enters Virgo, where its generosity turns toward health, habits and helping out.

August
Eclipse
The headline of the year's sky lands early in August: a total solar eclipse in Leo, the most dramatic of the five. Saturn turns retrograde in late Aries soon after, asking you to review what you started earlier in the year. Mid-month, a penumbral lunar eclipse in Aquarius closes the season gently, and Virgo season follows, with Mercury and Venus already there.

September
With the Sun and Jupiter sharing Virgo for most of September, practical improvements tend to go further than grand gestures. Mars enters Scorpio at the start, lending focus and depth. Uranus turns retrograde in Gemini mid-month, around the time of a Pisces Full Moon, so ideas may circle back for a rethink. The equinox opens Libra season, and a Libra New Moon at the close favors fair, kind agreements.

October
Mercury retrograde
Mercury spends most of October retrograde, starting in Scorpio and slipping back into Libra, which makes this a month for rereading, revisiting and repairing rather than signing in haste. An Aries Full Moon mid-month falls close to Saturn, as Mars heads into Sagittarius and Pluto turns direct. Scorpio season deepens the mood late on, and Mercury goes direct just before a Scorpio New Moon.

November
After October's back-and-forth, the sky settles into a calmer rhythm, and that calm is useful. Mercury returns to Scorpio for a deeper second pass at whatever it reviewed, and comfort, values and a sense of security are the themes of the Taurus Full Moon. Within days of the Sun's move into Sagittarius, Venus and Mars enter Capricorn together, favoring commitments made with care.
Neptune □ your Moon · exact Nov 14 · 3 passes
This month holds the peak: Neptune makes its exact contact on Nov 14. The weeks around it often show the theme most vividly, so give it your attention.

December
Hopes that felt hazy may come into clearer focus in December, as Neptune turns direct in Aries mid-month, near a sociable Gemini Full Moon. A few days after the solstice, with the Sun newly in Capricorn, Saturn ends its Aries retrograde, a good time to build on promises made this year. The year's last New Moon, also in Capricorn, suits quiet intentions set as the calendar turns.
Neptune □ your Moon · returning, exact Jan 14, 2028 · 3 passes

Before you go
That is your year, read through the planets. What you hold here are patterns, not prophecy: tendencies in the sky that meet the choices you make on the ground. The same transit can feel like pressure or like momentum depending on how you work with it, and that part is always yours. The sky describes the season; you decide what to plant in it. Come back to these pages as the months turn, notice what rings true, and let the rest go.
Your whole chart
Every contact in this report touches a point in your birth chart, and each of those points has its own story: your Sun, Moon, Venus, Saturn and the rest, placed by sign and house at the moment you arrived. The Cosmic Portrait is the CuteHoroscopes reading of that whole chart. If you would like to understand what these transits are waking up in you, it is the natural next read, a companion to this report rather than a replacement for it.
Astrology is offered here for reflection and entertainment. It describes moods and tendencies, not certainties, and nothing in this report is a substitute for advice from a qualified medical, legal or financial professional. If you face a decision in any of those areas, please talk to someone trained to help. In the end, your own choices and effort, along with the people around you, shape how your year goes.
