Everyone will see the same eclipses in 2027. No one will feel them the same way.
An eclipse in Leo might rewrite one person’s love life, another person’s career and someone else’s relationship with their own body. The difference isn’t the eclipse. It’s where the eclipse lands in your chart….
Here’s how to find the houses the 2027 eclipses will light up for you, and what each one is likely to open, close and ask of you.
The 2027 Eclipses at a Glance
- February 6: annular solar eclipse at about 17°38′ Aquarius, Solar Saros 131.
- February 20: penumbral lunar eclipse at about 2° Virgo.
- July 18: penumbral lunar eclipse at about 26° Capricorn.
- August 2: total solar eclipse at about 9°55′ Leo, Solar Saros 136, the longest totality of our lifetimes.
- August 17: penumbral lunar eclipse at about 24° Aquarius.
The two solar eclipses, the big ones, both fall on the Leo and Aquarius axis. That’s where most of the 2027 story lives. For the full guide to every eclipse, read 2027 Eclipses: Dates, Degrees, Saros Families and What They Mean for You.
Find Your Houses in 60 Seconds
The quickest way is to use your Rising sign. Using Whole Sign houses, here’s where Aquarius and Leo fall for you:
- Aries Rising: Aquarius in your 11th house, Leo in your 5th.
- Taurus Rising: Aquarius in your 10th, Leo in your 4th.
- Gemini Rising: Aquarius in your 9th, Leo in your 3rd.
- Cancer Rising: Aquarius in your 8th, Leo in your 2nd.
- Leo Rising: Aquarius in your 7th, Leo in your 1st.
- Virgo Rising: Aquarius in your 6th, Leo in your 12th.
- Libra Rising: Aquarius in your 5th, Leo in your 11th.
- Scorpio Rising: Aquarius in your 4th, Leo in your 10th.
- Sagittarius Rising: Aquarius in your 3rd, Leo in your 9th.
- Capricorn Rising: Aquarius in your 2nd, Leo in your 8th.
- Aquarius Rising: Aquarius in your 1st, Leo in your 7th.
- Pisces Rising: Aquarius in your 12th, Leo in your 6th.
If you use Placidus or another quadrant system, look up the exact degrees instead: 17° Aquarius for February 6 and 10° Leo for August 2. The houses can shift between systems, and that’s worth noticing. In my practice, Whole Sign shows the broader soul lesson, and Placidus shows how it plays out in daily life.
The Leo and Aquarius Eclipses, Axis by Axis
Eclipses always work across an axis. The February eclipse in Aquarius and the August eclipse in Leo light up two opposite houses at once, so read them as a pair.
1st and 7th Houses: Self and Partnership
For Leo and Aquarius Rising. This is the most personal eclipse year of all. Expect a new chapter in how you show up, how you look and how you’re seen, alongside real change in your closest one-on-one relationships. Some partnerships begin, some end and many are renegotiated.
2nd and 8th Houses: What’s Mine and What’s Ours
For Cancer and Capricorn Rising. Income, savings and self-worth meet debt, shared money, inheritance and intimacy. This is a year to restructure your finances and the deeper question underneath them: what you believe you’re worth, and what you’re willing to share.
3rd and 9th Houses: The Message and the Meaning
For Gemini and Sagittarius Rising. Learning, writing, teaching, siblings and your neighborhood on one side, and travel, higher education, publishing and faith on the other. A new voice, a new course of study or a move across distance is likely.
4th and 10th Houses: Home and Calling
For Taurus and Scorpio Rising. These are the angles of the chart, so this is a powerful year. Home, family and roots pull against career, reputation and public life. Moves, career turning points and shifts in family roles are all possible, often at the same time.
5th and 11th Houses: The Heart and the Circle
For Aries and Libra Rising. Romance, creativity, children and joy meet friendships, community and long-term dreams. A creative project could find its audience, a friendship could turn into something more, or a group you’ve outgrown could fall away.
6th and 12th Houses: The Body and the Soul
For Virgo and Pisces Rising. Work, routines and health meet rest, retreat and the unseen. This is a year to change the daily habits that wear you down and to make real room for healing, solitude and spiritual practice.
The Lunar Eclipses: Quieter, but Still Meaningful
All three lunar eclipses in 2027 are penumbral, the gentlest kind. They tend to work like a dimmer switch rather than a lightning bolt.
- February 20, about 2° Virgo: a soft release in the house that holds early Virgo, usually around work, health and daily life, mirrored by the opposite Pisces house.
- July 18, about 26° Capricorn: a quiet culmination in the house that holds late Capricorn, often around responsibility, structure and ambition, mirrored by Cancer and home.
- August 17, about 24° Aquarius: two weeks after the big Leo eclipse, a gentle completion in your Aquarius house, the same house the February eclipse opened.
How Hard Will It Hit?
The house tells you where. The orb tells you how strongly. Look for planets and points near 17° Aquarius, 10° Leo and the same degrees of Taurus and Scorpio.
- The epicenter, within about 2½°: where the eclipse lands hardest and feels most personal.
- Strong, within about 5°: clearly felt, especially on your Sun, Moon, Venus or chart ruler.
- Softer, out to about 10°: wider orbs are softer hits, more in the background.
Orbs are debated, and you’re welcome to use your own. And if an eclipse falls on your Ascendant, Descendant, Midheaven or IC, it’s powerful for you. Eclipses on the sacred angles tend to mark the turning points you talk about for years. Read more in The Sacred Angles of Your Birth Chart.
Look Back to Look Ahead
The 2027 eclipses echo the past. They land on nearly the same degrees as the eclipses of February and August 2008, and they belong to the same eclipse families as January and July 2009. Whatever those seasons stirred up in the same houses of your chart, 2027 is likely to bring the next chapter.

The Lower and Higher Octave of an Eclipse Year
Lower octave: Bracing against every change, or blaming the eclipses for choices you’re avoiding.
Higher octave: Knowing which doors are opening, walking through them on purpose and letting the rest close with grace.

Final Thoughts
The eclipses are the same for everyone. Your houses are what make them yours.
2027 brings two solar eclipses on the Leo and Aquarius axis, an annular eclipse at 17° Aquarius on February 6 and the long total eclipse at 10° Leo on August 2, plus three gentle penumbral lunar eclipses in Virgo, Capricorn and Aquarius. Use your Rising sign to find which pair of houses the solar eclipses activate, check the exact degrees in your own house system, and look for planets and angles within a tight orb. Then look back to 2008 and 2009 for clues to what’s coming next.
Not a storm to survive. Not a sentence. But a map of the doors that are about to open.
Find your houses. Check your orbs. And walk into 2027 knowing where to look.
