Questions about the horoscope
How is the Leo 2027 horoscope made?
From the planets' real positions for the year, worked out by the same engine that draws the charts on this site. The page lists when the slow planets change sign, when Mercury, Venus and Mars turn retrograde and direct, and the eclipses, and reads each one through Leo's houses.
Why do the slow planets matter most?
Jupiter stays about a year in each sign, Saturn about two and a half, and Uranus, Neptune and Pluto many years. Their sign changes mark the longer stretches of a year, while the Moon and the inner planets shape its days and weeks.
How are the eclipses found?
An eclipse happens when a new or full Moon falls close to the Moon's nodes. The page checks each new and full Moon of the year and lists the ones close enough to the nodes for an eclipse to occur.
Are these dates exact for me?
The dates are in universal time, so near midnight they can fall a day earlier or later where you live. The houses are counted by whole signs from your Sun sign. Your own chart gives your exact houses.
