Big moves

Jupiter, traditionally the planet of growth, leaves Leo for Virgo on 26 July 2027 and stays there for the rest of the year. Saturn spends all of 2027 in Aries, alongside Neptune. Uranus is in Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius all year.

The tradition would read Jupiter in Virgo as growth through skill, health and useful work, and Saturn in Aries as learning to give new beginnings a lasting form.

Using a year ahead

General dates affect everyone's sky, but how they're read depends on your own chart: the houses these signs fall in, and planets near these degrees. Astrology describes themes for reflection, not events that are bound to happen.
