Scorpio and the February 2027 annular solar eclipse
For Scorpio, the annular solar eclipse of Saturday 6 February 2027 falls in Aquarius, which counted by whole signs from Scorpio is your 4th house: the house of home, family and roots. At the north node, an eclipse in the 4th house is read as a new foundation being laid: a move, a change in the household, or a fresh understanding of the family you come from.

The eclipse in your 4th house
The eclipse is greatest at 16:00 UTC on 6 February, with the Sun and the Moon together at 17°37′ Aquarius, the fourth sign counted from Scorpio.
For Scorpio in February, the eclipse lands in the 4th house, the place the Hellenistic astrologers called the Subterranean: the Hypogeion, the lowest point of the chart, the house of home, land, parents and endings.
In love the February eclipse touches living together, family plans and the private life a couple shares; at work, working from home, and the foundations a career quietly stands on; and with money, property, rent, the cost of a household and family money.
The nodes run through Aquarius and Leo this year, so Scorpio’s eclipse axis runs from the 4th house to the 10th, the axis of home and career: the private root and the public branch of a life.
On 2 August, 177 days later, the total solar eclipse falls at the other end of that axis, in your 10th house, and Scorpio’s two solar eclipses of 2027 will have spoken from both ends of it.
On 6 February Scorpio’s traditional ruler, Mars, stands in Virgo, your 11th house, moving retrograde, so the tradition would read the eclipse’s news as reaching Scorpio through the 11th house as well, the house of friends, hopes and community.

Scorpio’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 Scorpio’s 11th house, the house of friends, hopes and community, where the tradition would look for what is ripening or ending.
Astrologers read an eclipse over months rather than on its day, so for Scorpio the 4th house stays in the foreground from 6 February until the next eclipse season, which the Almanac’s ephemeris puts in July.

For Scorpio around 6 February
A practice for the weeks around the February eclipse: make one change at home that supports the life you are building, not the one you had.
And a question for Scorpio to carry until the next eclipse season: What kind of home am I building now?
Common questions
Which house is the February 2027 eclipse in for Scorpio?
The 4th, counted by whole signs from Scorpio, since Aquarius is the fourth sign counted from Scorpio. Your own chart, cast for your birth time, may place 17°37′ Aquarius in a house other than the 4th, and astrologers would read it there as well.
Is the annular solar eclipse good or bad for Scorpio?
The tradition does not sort the February eclipse into good or bad for Scorpio. It reads your 4th house, the house of home, family and roots, as where a chapter turns this February, and it leaves the outcome to your own choices.
When will Scorpio feel the February eclipse?
Astrologers look for an eclipse’s themes over the months that follow it rather than on the day, so for Scorpio from 6 February until the eclipses of July, with the 4th house as the place to watch.
