Leo and the February 2027 annular solar eclipse
For Leo, the annular solar eclipse of Saturday 6 February 2027 falls in Aquarius, which counted by whole signs from Leo is your 7th house: the house of partners and agreements. At the north node, an eclipse in the 7th house is read as someone new arriving across the table: a partner, a client or an ally, or a new footing with the one already there.

The eclipse in your 7th house
The eclipse is greatest at 16:00 UTC on 6 February, with the Sun and the Moon together at 17°37′ Aquarius, the seventh sign counted from Leo.
For Leo in February, the eclipse lands in the 7th house, the place the Hellenistic astrologers called the Setting: the Dysis, the sign setting opposite the rising one, the house of marriage, partners and open enemies.
In love the February eclipse touches marriage, committed partnership and the person across the table, most directly of all the houses; at work, business partners, clients and the contracts that bind them; and with money, joint ventures and agreements that put money between two parties.
The nodes run through Aquarius and Leo this year, so Leo’s eclipse axis runs from the 7th house to the 1st, the axis of self and partner: how much of the year is yours to steer, and how much is shared.
On 2 August, 177 days later, the total solar eclipse falls at the other end of that axis, in your 1st house, and Leo’s two solar eclipses of 2027 will have spoken from both ends of it.
Leo’s ruler is the Sun itself, the light this eclipse covers, so the tradition reads the February eclipse as touching Leo twice over: through the 7th house it falls in, and through the planet that rules the sign.

Leo’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 Leo’s 2nd house, the house of money, possessions and values, where the tradition would look for what is ripening or ending.
Astrologers read an eclipse over months rather than on its day, so for Leo the 7th house stays in the foreground from 6 February until the next eclipse season, which the Almanac’s ephemeris puts in July.

For Leo around 6 February
A practice for the weeks around the February eclipse: say yes to one collaboration or meeting that you would usually decline.
And a question for Leo to carry until the next eclipse season: Who is arriving in my life, and am I making room?
Common questions
Which house is the February 2027 eclipse in for Leo?
The 7th, counted by whole signs from Leo, since Aquarius is the seventh sign counted from Leo. Your own chart, cast for your birth time, may place 17°37′ Aquarius in a house other than the 7th, and astrologers would read it there as well.
Is the annular solar eclipse good or bad for Leo?
The tradition does not sort the February eclipse into good or bad for Leo. It reads your 7th house, the house of partners and agreements, as where a chapter turns this February, and it leaves the outcome to your own choices.
When will Leo feel the February eclipse?
Astrologers look for an eclipse’s themes over the months that follow it rather than on the day, so for Leo from 6 February until the eclipses of July, with the 7th house as the place to watch.
