Taurus, 2027 has a clear turning point, and it falls on 26 July. Until then Jupiter is in Leo and your 4th house of home and family, so the first half of the year leans towards the domestic: where you live, who you share your life with, and what home actually means to you now. After 26 July Jupiter moves into Virgo and your 5th house of romance, fun, creativity and children, and the second half of the year has a lighter, more playful feel.
Alongside that, a string of eclipses falls across your career and home axis. The solar eclipse on 6 February and the lunar eclipse on 17 August are both in Aquarius, your 10th house of career and reputation, while the total solar eclipse on 2 August is in Leo, your 4th house. How you balance public ambition with private life is a question likely to come up more than once.
Uranus has also settled into Gemini and your 2nd house of money, so your finances, and your sense of your own worth, are in a longer period of change. None of this decides anything for you. Think of the dates below as prompts for reflection and planning, to be weighed against your own circumstances.
The big picture for Taurus in 2027
Jupiter spends the first seven months of the year in Leo, your 4th house of home, family and roots. It begins the year moving backwards and turns direct on 13 April, so the months between April and July are the most productive for anything that makes home life bigger or more comfortable: moving, extending, having people to stay, or simply spending more time with the people you consider family. On 26 July Jupiter moves into Virgo and your 5th house, where it stays for the rest of the year. This is the part of your chart to do with pleasure, romance, creative work and children, and Jupiter here tends to bring more of all of it. If you have been heads down for a while, the second half of 2027 is your invitation to enjoy yourself a bit more.
Saturn is in Aries and your 12th house of rest, retreat and the inner life all year. This is the quiet house, the one just before your own sign, and Saturn here asks you to tidy up loose ends and let go of what has run its course before a new cycle begins. That is not always comfortable, and there may be stretches where you feel more tired or more private than usual. Saturn turns retrograde on 9 August and direct again on 24 December, so the autumn is better for reviewing what you have already started to release than for taking on anything new.
Uranus is in Gemini and your 2nd house of money, possessions and self worth. It turns direct on 8 February and retrograde again on 15 September. Uranus brings change, sometimes sudden, so income may arrive from unexpected directions and your attitude to spending and saving may shift. The theme is flexibility. The more adaptable your finances are, the easier this transit tends to feel, and a rigid budget may need loosening more than once.
Neptune is also in Aries and your 12th house, sitting alongside Saturn. It turns retrograde on 9 July and direct on 15 December. Neptune here heightens intuition and the need for downtime, and it pairs well with Saturn's call to simplify. Pluto remains in Aquarius and your 10th house of career and public life, retrograde from 8 May to 18 October. This is a slow, deep shift in what you want your work to stand for, and the eclipses in Aquarius this year bring that process into sharper focus.
Love and relationships in 2027
The year opens with Venus in Scorpio, your 7th house of partnerships, which favours couples in the first week of January. Venus moves on into Sagittarius on 7 January, and three days later Mars turns retrograde in Virgo, your 5th house of romance. Mars stays retrograde until 1 April, slipping back into Leo and your 4th house on 21 February, so the early months lend themselves to thinking about what you actually want from love and fun rather than chasing it. The lunar eclipse on 20 February, also in Virgo, may bring a feeling or a decision about romance, creativity or a child to a head.
Your birthday season is framed by two Full Moons in Scorpio and your 7th house, on 20 April and 20 May, and both put relationships in the spotlight. Venus is in Taurus from 14 May to 8 June, one of the most attractive stretches of the year for you, when people tend to respond to you more easily and you feel more like yourself.
The second half is where love really opens up. Jupiter enters Virgo on 26 July, Venus follows on 20 August and the New Moon on 31 August is in Virgo too. Late August and early September suit beginning a romance or a creative project, or simply saying yes to more fun. Then the autumn belongs to partnership. Mars is in Scorpio from 2 September to 16 October, Venus from 8 October to 1 November, the Sun from 23 October, and the New Moon on 29 October is in Scorpio as well. Mercury turns retrograde in Scorpio on 7 October, so some of that conversation may involve going back over old ground before the New Moon offers a fresh start.
Work and money in 2027
The solar eclipse on 6 February in Aquarius, your 10th house, is the first big career marker of the year. Eclipses tend to open doors that were not obviously there before, but Mercury turns retrograde on 9 February and moves back into Aquarius on 18 February, turning direct there on 3 March. That means any new direction suggested by the eclipse is likely to be revised or renegotiated over the following weeks, so it is wise to let things settle before you commit. Venus moves through your 10th house from 1 to 26 March, which helps with goodwill at work and with how you are seen.
Money is a theme all year because of Uranus in Gemini. The New Moon in Gemini on 4 June suits setting a financial intention, and Venus is in Gemini from 8 June to 3 July, which can help with earning. Mercury's retrograde from 10 June to 4 July ends in Gemini, so double check figures and paperwork in late June. Uranus turns retrograde on 15 September, and the Full Moon in Gemini on 13 December is a natural point for a year end look at what came in and what went out.
Your 6th house of work routines gets attention from Mars between 15 July and 2 September, a useful window for sorting out systems, schedules and health habits. Venus is in Libra from 14 September to 8 October, and the New Moon there on 30 September suits starting a healthier routine. The lunar eclipse on 17 August in your 10th house is the second half of February's story, and with Pluto turning direct in the same house on 18 October, the autumn is when your longer term career direction tends to become clearer.

Taurus 2027 month by month
January
The Sun is in Capricorn and your 9th house, and the New Moon there on 7 January suits planning travel or study. Venus moves into Sagittarius the same day, turning your attention to shared finances and what you owe or are owed. Mars turns retrograde on 10 January in Virgo, your 5th house, so romance and creative projects slow down for a while. Rather than pushing, use the time to work out what you want. The Sun enters Aquarius and your career house on 20 January, and the Full Moon in Leo on 22 January brings a home or family matter into view.
February

April
Mars turns direct on 1 April, so energy returns at home and in family matters. The New Moon on 7 April in Aries suits rest and reflection more than launching anything. Jupiter turns direct on 13 April, and home plans that stalled over the winter can move forward. Your birthday season begins when the Sun enters Taurus on 20 April, the same day as a Full Moon in Scorpio and your 7th house, so relationships are part of the picture from the first day. Mercury joins the Sun in Taurus on 24 April, sharpening your thinking about what you want for yourself this year.
May
The New Moon in Taurus on 6 May is your personal new year, the best moment of 2027 to set an intention for yourself.

June
The New Moon on 4 June in Gemini suits setting a financial goal. Venus enters Gemini on 8 June, which helps with earning but can also encourage spending. Mercury turns retrograde on 10 June in Cancer, your 3rd house, so expect delays with messages and short trips. The Full Moon on 19 June in Sagittarius touches shared money and intimacy. The Sun enters Cancer on 21 June, and Mercury retrogrades back into Gemini on 26 June, which is the point to double check anything financial.
