The 2027 forecast for Aries speaks of a fresh start that is yours. Saturn and Neptune spend the whole year in your sign, and this can be read as the sky asking who you want to be from now on. Jupiter puts love and creativity in the spotlight until July, and then takes growth to work and health.

Imagine looking at an old photo and not recognising yourself in it. The clothes are the same, the way you smile is the same, and still something has changed inside. It is a good picture of what Saturn and Neptune tend to do when they pass through someone's sign: the dream of a new version of yourself (Neptune) meets the demand to actually build it (Saturn). In 2027 this conversation happens with you, all year long.

The first half of the year has a light side, and it comes from Jupiter in your 5th house, the house of love, pleasure, children and creativity. It may be the year of a romance that starts without hurry, of a creative project that finally leaves the drawer, or of more time with your children. On 2 August the total eclipse in Leo takes place exactly in that house, and tradition reads an eclipse as a turning point: what began in love and creation in 2027 tends to gain weight from there on.

On 26 July Jupiter enters Virgo, your 6th house, and growth changes address. Routine, your job and your body move to the centre. It is a good period to swap a tiring habit for one that works, look for work with a healthier day-to-day or finally take care of that postponed check-up. Mars, your ruler, moves backwards in Virgo at the start of the year, between January and February: it is as if the review of your routine began there and the growth came afterwards.

In love, the first half of the year is the most open, and August marks a turning point. In money, the year asks for fewer bets and more method: with Jupiter in the house of work from July, what comes in tends to come from well-organised effort. In work, the second half is the most promising, and it is worth reaching it with your routine already reviewed.

February is the month that calls for the most care: Mars is retrograde, Mercury goes retrograde from 9 February to 3 March and there are two eclipses in the same month. May is the lightest month of the year, with no Mercury, Venus or Mars retrograde and no eclipse. And your solar return, with the Sun in Aries next to Saturn and Neptune, arrives with special weight this year.

This text speaks to everyone who has the Sun or the Ascendant in Aries. What 2027 brings for you depends on your whole chart: the planets you have in each house and where the sky of the year passes over them. The Forecast for the next 12 months does this reading month by month: the month for money, the one for love, the one for work and the one that calls for caution, with the houses of the city where you will live. If you don't know your Ascendant yet, the free chart calculates it with your date, time and place of birth.

Epictetus, in the Discourses, left a sentence that seems written for an Aries in 2027: “First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.” The order matters. Aries is usually associated with the gesture that comes first, and the year seems to ask for a pause before it: the question of who you want to be. We can think of Saturn's passage through your sign as this invitation to choose before acting. What if the new version of you doesn't need to be born ready? What if it can be built a little each month, with the time that big things ask for?

And the questions that come up most on this subject, with the short answer:

In short, 2027 is the year for Aries to reinvent itself with patience: Saturn and Neptune in the sign ask for a new version of you, truly built, Jupiter favours love until July and work afterwards, February calls for care and May is the lightest month.
