Aries and the February 2027 annular solar eclipse
For Aries, the annular solar eclipse of Saturday 6 February 2027 falls in Aquarius, which counted by whole signs from Aries is your 11th house: the house of friends, hopes and community. At the north node, an eclipse in the 11th house is read as a new circle forming: friends, colleagues or a cause that gathers around a hope you had not yet said aloud.

The eclipse in your 11th house
The eclipse is greatest at 16:00 UTC on 6 February, with the Sun and the Moon together at 17°37′ Aquarius, the eleventh sign counted from Aries.
For Aries in February, the eclipse lands in the 11th house, the place the Hellenistic astrologers called the Good Spirit: Agathos Daimon, the place where Jupiter rejoices, the house of friends, hopes and benefactors.
In love the February eclipse touches friendship inside love, and the friends who become something more; at work, networks, clients, teams and the people who open doors; and with money, gains from work, as the old books put it, and money that comes through other people.
The nodes run through Aquarius and Leo this year, so Aries’s eclipse axis runs from the 11th house to the 5th, the axis of the heart and the hope: personal joy and the friends and causes you belong to.
On 2 August, 177 days later, the total solar eclipse falls at the other end of that axis, in your 5th house, and Aries’s two solar eclipses of 2027 will have spoken from both ends of it.
On 6 February Aries’s traditional ruler, Mars, stands in Virgo, your 6th house, moving retrograde, so the tradition would read the eclipse’s news as reaching Aries through the 6th house as well, the house of daily work, habits and health routines.

Aries’s eclipse season
On 20 February, 14 days after the solar eclipse, the penumbral lunar eclipse at 23:13 UTC dims the Moon at 1°58′ Virgo, across Aries’s 6th house, the house of daily work, habits and health routines, where the tradition would look for what is ripening or ending.
Astrologers read an eclipse over months rather than on its day, so for Aries the 11th house stays in the foreground from 6 February until the next eclipse season, which the Almanac’s ephemeris puts in July.

Common questions
Which house is the February 2027 eclipse in for Aries?
The 11th, counted by whole signs from Aries, since Aquarius is the eleventh sign counted from Aries. Your own chart, cast for your birth time, may place 17°37′ Aquarius in a house other than the 11th, and astrologers would read it there as well.
Is the annular solar eclipse good or bad for Aries?
The tradition does not sort the February eclipse into good or bad for Aries. It reads your 11th house, the house of friends, hopes and community, as where a chapter turns this February, and it leaves the outcome to your own choices.
When will Aries feel the February eclipse?
Astrologers look for an eclipse’s themes over the months that follow it rather than on the day, so for Aries from 6 February until the eclipses of July, with the 11th house as the place to watch.
