The direct answer: Leo (Simha) 2027 Horoscope — Month by Month: From June Saturn costs you faith in a teacher, a doctrine or a plan, then retreats to the 8th before the year ends — while Jupiter protects the retreat, the foreign move and the thing you give away. Ashtama Shani (8th-house Saturn) is the year's organising pressure for Leo, and it runs January–June, AskSoma publishes this at asksoma.ai/2027-horoscope/leo as a free Vedic astrology resource using Swiss Ephemeris calculations and classical Jyotish interpretation — not generic sun-sign copy.

From June Saturn costs you faith in a teacher, a doctrine or a plan, then retreats to the 8th before the year ends — while Jupiter protects the retreat, the foreign move and the thing you give away.
Saturn moves 8th → 9th → back to the 8th houses — where it draws out anything you were hoping would resolve quickly, then costs you faith in a teacher, a doctrine or a plan. Jupiter takes 1st → 12th → back to the 1st → 2nd houses, and in the one it holds longest it protects the retreat, the foreign move and the thing you give away. Rahu is genuinely useful here: it eats rivals and debt for you from your 6th while Ketu is where it belongs: it releases, and that is the whole point from your 12th, both unchanged all year. Ashtama Shani (8th-house Saturn) runs January–June, October–December.
Ashtama Shani (8th-house Saturn) is the year's organising pressure for Leo, and it runs January–June, October–December — plan around those months rather than around the whole of 2027.
Born Jul 23 – Aug 22? In 2027 the Sun is in Leo from Jul 22, 9:05 p.m. EDT to Aug 23, 4:14 a.m. EDT. Your three computed 2027 facts: Jupiter works through your 1st house of image, body and personal direction until July 26, then your 2nd house of income, possessions and sense of worth; Saturn holds your 9th house all year; and the August 2 total solar eclipse lands in your 1st house.
This section reads Leo as your Sun sign on the Western (tropical) zodiac US horoscopes use. Further down, Leo is read as a Moon sign on the sidereal zodiac: a second layer, not a correction. How the two zodiacs differ.

For Leo, love reads your 5th house (Sagittarius) and your 7th house (Aquarius). Your 7th is the busier of the two. Commitment, engagement and "where is this going" talks are favored. No slow planet visits these Leo houses, so 4 Venus visits and the eclipses set the love timing. Dated: Venus in Sagittarius, your 5th, Jan 7 – Feb 3; annular solar eclipse in Aquarius, your 7th, Feb 6; Mercury retrograde, partly in Aquarius (your 7th), Feb 9 – Mar 3.
For Leo, career reads your 10th house (Taurus) and your 6th house (Capricorn). Your 6th is the busier of the two. Day-to-day work, coworkers and systems need tuning; fix the process. No slow planet visits these Leo houses, so 3 Venus visits and the eclipses set the career timing. Dated: Venus in Capricorn, your 6th, Feb 3 – Mar 1; Venus in Taurus, your 10th, May 14 – Jun 8; Venus in Capricorn, your 6th, Nov 25 – Dec 19.
For Leo, money reads your 2nd house (Virgo) and your 8th house (Pisces). Your 2nd is the busier of the two. Budgets, raises and savings plans get traction; build the boring habit. The biggest Leo money boost is Jupiter in Virgo, your 2nd, Jul 26 – Dec 31. Dated: Mars in Virgo, your 2nd, Jan 1 – Feb 21; Mercury retrograde, partly in Pisces (your 8th), Feb 9 – Mar 3; penumbral lunar eclipse in Virgo, your 2nd, Feb 20.
Greatest eclipse: Aug 2, 6:07 a.m. EDT, at 9°55′ Leo. For Leo it falls in your 1st house (self). You are the project: how you present, what you start and where you point yourself. In practice for Leo: for love, you are easier to notice; say plainly what you want instead of waiting to be asked. For work, personal initiative counts for more than titles; pitch yourself. For money, spend on what changes how you show up, not on impulse.
It pairs with the Feb 6 annular eclipse at 17°38′ Aquarius, your 7th. The lunar nodes hold the Leo–Aquarius axis all year, so Leo's eclipse story runs between your 1st (self) and your 7th (partnership).
This page covers what the eclipse means for Leo, not where it can be seen.
Leo gets 8 lucky windows in 2027, 8 of them strong: Venus in a favorable house of your chart, strong when Jupiter backs one too. Good timing, not a promise. The top 5:

Everything below reads Leo as a Moon sign on the sidereal zodiac. It fits you if your Moon sits in Leo there, whatever your Sun sign.
The signs and months below are the same for everybody. The house column is not — it is counted from Simha, and it is the house, not the sign, that says what the transit touches in your life.
| Planet | Months | Sign | House from Simha | Dignity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Saturn | January–June | Pisces | 8th — upheaval, inheritance, secrets and the things you do not choose | — |
| Saturn | June–October | Aries | 9th — fortune, teachers, faith and long travel | debilitated — weakest |
| Saturn | October–December | Pisces | 8th — upheaval, inheritance, secrets and the things you do not choose | — |
| Jupiter | January | Leo | 1st — body, temperament and how you are read by others | — |
| Jupiter | January–June | Cancer | 12th — expense, foreign ground, sleep, retreat and release | exalted — strongest |
| Jupiter | June–November | Leo | 1st — body, temperament and how you are read by others | — |
| Jupiter | November–December | Virgo | 2nd — savings, speech and the family you answer to | — |
| Rahu | January–December | Capricorn | 6th — daily work, debts, rivals and the body under load | — |
| Ketu | January–December | Cancer | 12th — expense, foreign ground, sleep, retreat and release | — |
This rotation is the whole method, so here it is in full rather than buried in the prose. Everybody’s 2027 sky is identical; what differs is which house of your chart each sign occupies. Every claim on this page can be checked against this table — if a paragraph names a house, the sign in that row is the sign it is talking about.
| House | Sign | Ruled by | Governs | Slow transits in 2027 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | Leo | Sun | self and health | Jupiter (January, June–November) |
| 2nd | Virgo | Mercury | money and family | Jupiter (November–December) |
| 3rd | Libra | Venus | effort and courage | — |
| 4th | Scorpio | Mars | home and rest | — |
| 5th | Sagittarius | Jupiter | children and creativity | — |
| 6th | Capricorn | Saturn | work and strain | Rahu (January–December) |
| 7th | Aquarius | Saturn | partnership | — |
| 8th | Pisces | Jupiter | upheaval | Saturn (January–June, October–December) |
| 9th | Aries | Mars | fortune and travel | Saturn (June–October) |
| 10th | Taurus | Venus | career | — |
| 11th | Gemini | Mercury | income and gains | — |
| 12th | Cancer | Moon | expense and retreat | Jupiter (January–June); Ketu (January–December) |
6 of your twelve houses take a slow transit this year; the other 6 take none at all. An untouched house is information too — it is the part of your life 2027 is not arguing with, and therefore the cheapest place to make a change.
Not every sign carries one of these in a given year, and Leo does — which is why this section exists here and does not exist on some of the other eleven pages. Because Saturn changes sign twice during 2027, the status below is a set of months, not a label for the whole year.
Saturn in the eighth from your Moon. The eighth is the house of what you do not choose — transitions, other people's money, and things that surface after being buried. The classical reading is a slow, unglamorous passage rather than a catastrophe: it is a poor year to start something requiring momentum, and a good one to finish something requiring endurance.
One correction worth making, because it is the most common thing people get wrong: Sade Sati is counted from the MOON sign, not the Sun sign. If you have been told you are in it on the basis of a Western sun-sign reading, that reading was counting from the wrong place.
Work is read from your 10th (Taurus) and 6th (Capricorn), counted from Simha — the 10th is the profession and the standing that comes with it; the 6th is the daily labour underneath it — the service, the rivals and the grind that the 10th gets credit for.
Rahu sits in your 6th (Capricorn, all year) and there it is genuinely useful here: it eats rivals and debt for you.
There is no off-season here: some part of this area is under a slow transit in every month of 2027. Pace it accordingly — you cannot wait this one out.
Money is read from your 2nd (Virgo) and 11th (Gemini), counted from Simha — the 2nd is what you hold — savings, and the family you are financially entangled with; the 11th is what arrives — income, gains and the network that carries them.
Jupiter sits in your 2nd (Virgo, November–December) and there it loosens money and makes the family easier to be in a room with.
The months it actually lands in: November–December. Outside them nothing is pushing, which is when the unglamorous version of the work is cheapest to do.
Relationships are read from your 7th (Aquarius) and 5th (Sagittarius), counted from Simha — the 7th is the committed partner and the open opponent, which the classics treat as the same house for a reason; the 5th is romance before commitment, and children.
Nothing slow crosses your 7th or 5th at any point in 2027 — so relationships run on their own momentum this year — steady rather than forced in either direction. Nothing in the sky will make the decision for you, which is worth knowing if you were waiting for it to.
Health and body is read from your 1st (Leo), 6th (Capricorn) and 8th (Pisces), counted from Simha — the 1st is the body itself and the vitality it starts the year with; the 6th is the body under load — illness, debt and the things that wear it; the 8th is the classical longevity house and the events you do not choose.
Saturn sits in your 8th (Pisces, January–June, October–December) and there it draws out anything you were hoping would resolve quickly. It leaves and comes back, so that is two passes at the same subject rather than one long one.
Jupiter sits in your 1st (Leo, January, June–November) and there it restores confidence and, if you let it, weight around the middle. It leaves and comes back, so that is two passes at the same subject rather than one long one.
Rahu sits in your 6th (Capricorn, all year) and there it is genuinely useful here: it eats rivals and debt for you.
There is no off-season here: some part of this area is under a slow transit in every month of 2027. Pace it accordingly — you cannot wait this one out.
The Sun rules you, so your year is a question of standing: whether you are recognised, by whom, and whether you needed them to. The Sun moves in clean monthly steps, which makes your year unusually legible.
Sun spends 2027 moving through your 5th (Sagittarius, January), then your 6th (Capricorn, January–February), then your 7th (Aquarius, February–March), then your 8th (Pisces, March–April), then your 9th (Aries, April–May), then your 10th (Taurus, May–June), then your 11th (Gemini, June–July), then your 12th (Cancer, July–August), then your 1st (Leo, August–September), then your 2nd (Virgo, September–October), then your 3rd (Libra, October–November), then your 4th (Scorpio, November–December), then your 5th (Sagittarius, December). It takes one clean step a month and never turns back, so no single one of those legs decides the year — the pattern does.
Your ruler is exalted while it crosses your 9th house — the strongest Sun you will get all year, and the best argument for putting a decision in those months rather than the ones either side. It is debilitated while it crosses your 3rd, so that stretch is for maintenance, not for staking anything on your own ruler.
Ashtama Shani (8th-house Saturn) is the year's organising pressure for Leo, and it runs January–June, October–December — plan around those months rather than around the whole of 2027. The year splits: Saturn does not hold one house from January to December, so treat it as two or three shorter chapters rather than one verdict. What actually happens to you depends on your running Mahadasha, which a rashi page cannot see.
Ashtama Shani (8th-house Saturn) during January–June, October–December. Because Saturn changes sign inside 2027, this is not a whole-year status — check the months, not the year.
Saturn enters Aries — your 9th house — in June. Saturn enters Pisces — your 8th house — in October. Jupiter enters Cancer — your 12th house — in January. Jupiter enters Leo — your 1st house — in June. Jupiter enters Virgo — your 2nd house — in November. Saturn turns retrograde in August. Saturn turns direct in December. Jupiter turns direct in April.
Relationships are read from your 7th (Aquarius) and 5th (Sagittarius), counted from Simha — the 7th is the committed partner and the open opponent, which the classics treat as the same house for a reason; the 5th is romance before commitment, and children. Nothing slow crosses your 7th or 5th at any point in 2027 — so relationships run on their own momentum this year — steady rather than forced in either direction. Nothing in the sky will make the decision for you, which is worth knowing if you were waiting for it to. Money is read from your 2nd (Virgo) and 11th (Gemini), counted from Simha — the 2nd is what you hold — savings, and the family you are financially entangled with; the 11th is what arrives — income, gains and the network that carries them. Jupiter sits in your 2nd (Virgo, November–December) and there it loosens money and makes the family easier to be in a room with.
6 of the twelve: the 1st (Leo) — Jupiter (January, June–November); the 2nd (Virgo) — Jupiter (November–December); the 6th (Capricorn) — Rahu (January–December); the 8th (Pisces) — Saturn (January–June, October–December); the 9th (Aries) — Saturn (June–October); the 12th (Cancer) — Jupiter (January–June); Ketu (January–December). The other 6 houses take no slow transit at all in 2027, and an untouched house is information: it is the part of your life the year is not arguing with.
Simha is ruled by Sun, which spends 2027 moving through your 5th (Sagittarius, January), then your 6th (Capricorn, January–February), then your 7th (Aquarius, February–March), then your 8th (Pisces, March–April), then your 9th (Aries, April–May), then your 10th (Taurus, May–June), then your 11th (Gemini, June–July), then your 12th (Cancer, July–August), then your 1st (Leo, August–September), then your 2nd (Virgo, September–October), then your 3rd (Libra, October–November), then your 4th (Scorpio, November–December), then your 5th (Sagittarius, December). It is exalted while it crosses your 9th — the strongest your own ruler gets all year. It is debilitated while it crosses your 3rd, so do not lean on it there.
Because two independent ephemerides in this system disagree on Saturn's 2027 ingress by a couple of days. Printing a single date would be precision we cannot back. The month is the honest resolution for a year-ahead page; for a dated window you need an arc-second ephemeris run against your own chart. It is also why a month sometimes appears in two rows of the table above — the planet really was in both signs that month.
The total solar eclipse peaks on August 2, 2027 at 6:07 a.m. EDT, at 9°55′ Leo. For Leo by Western dates it falls in your 1st house of image, body and personal direction. This page covers its meaning, not where it can be seen.
Jupiter is in Leo, your 1st house, until July 26, 2027 at 12:49 a.m. EDT, then in Virgo, your 2nd house, for the rest of the year. It is retrograde until Apr 12 and moves forward after that.
