January 2027 horoscope for every sign
The sky of January 2027 — the moons, Mars turning retrograde, the Sun entering Aquarius — and what the tradition reads in it for each of the twelve signs.
January 2027 opens the year in Capricorn and turns toward Aquarius on January 20. Its new moon falls on January 7 at 17° Capricorn, a classic moment in the tradition for setting the year's intentions; its full moon on January 22 is in Leo, the sign of joy, pride and the heart. On January 10 Mars turns retrograde in Virgo and stays retrograde until April 1, which the tradition reads as the start of a long season of reworking rather than racing. Jupiter, retrograde in Leo since December 13, adds a mood of revisiting old joys; Venus moves into Sagittarius on January 7, and Mercury into Aquarius on January 13. From January 25, Mercury is in the shadow of its February retrograde.
