The 2027 forecast for Libra speaks of partnerships. Saturn and Neptune spend the year in your 7th house, the house of relationships, marriage and business partners, and this can be read as the ideal of the other meeting the reality of commitment. Jupiter favours friends and group projects until July, and retreat afterwards.

Every relationship has a moment when the image we made of the other gives way to the real other. Sometimes this disappoints, sometimes it deepens. Neptune in the 7th house is usually read as the dream of the perfect partnership; Saturn beside it, as the invitation to build a real partnership, with agreements, limits and time. 2027 may be the year Libra discovers which of the two it wants to live.

In the first half of the year, Jupiter passes through your 11th house, the house of friends, groups and plans for the future. It is a good period to join a group, make contacts, create a group project or simply spend more time with people you like. The total eclipse of 2 August also takes place in that house, and may mark a turning point in friendships or in a long-term plan.

On 26 July Jupiter enters your 12th house, the house of what happens behind the scenes. The second half of the year asks for more pause: rest, therapy, spirituality, preparation. For a sign that likes being among people, it may seem strange, and that is exactly why it can do you good. It is the retreat that prepares Jupiter's arrival in your sign, in 2028.

In love, the year is one of definition: Saturn and Neptune in the 7th house ask for clarity about what you expect from the person beside you, and the solar eclipse of 6 February, in your 5th house, may mark the start of a romance or a turning point in one that already exists. In money, there is no major transit in your money houses, and the year favours stability. In work, partnerships and contracts are the point to take care of.

February calls for care with the heart and with agreements, because of the eclipse and Mercury retrograde. October brings the last Mercury retrograde of the year, which ends in your sign on 28 October: a good moment to review a personal decision before your birthday. May is the lightest month of the year.

This text speaks to everyone who has the Sun or the Ascendant in Libra. 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.

Erich Fromm wrote in The Art of Loving: “The ability to be alone is the condition for the ability to love.” Libra is associated with encounter, balance and beauty, and usually comes to know itself through the other. We can think of 2027 as the year in which that relationship is reversed: to choose well who is beside you, perhaps you first need to know how to be with yourself. The second half of the year, more withdrawn, helps with that. Who are you when there is no one to balance?

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

In short, 2027 is for Libra the year of defining partnerships: Saturn and Neptune in the 7th house ask for relationships with real agreements, Jupiter favours friends until July and retreat afterwards, February stirs the heart and May is the lightest month.
