February 2027 Astrology Calendar: Eclipses, Retrogrades and Dates

February 2027 is the busiest month of the season. It holds both eclipses of the winter eclipse season, the start of a Mercury retrograde, the end of the Uranus retrograde and the return of retrograde Mars to Leo. All times below are UTC, calculated with the Swiss Ephemeris; the table above converts them to your local time.

The big picture for February 2027

Eclipses speed things up. In astrology they mark turning points that tend to show their meaning over the following months rather than on the day itself. This season’s solar eclipse falls in Aquarius, on the axis of communities, technology and the future, and the lunar eclipse falls in Virgo, on the axis of work, health and daily systems.

At the same time three planets are retrograde: Mercury from February 9, Mars since January 10 and Jupiter since December 13. That combination favours reviewing and repairing over launching. Uranus going direct on February 8 is the exception: it releases a change that has been building since September 2026, especially in learning, media and technology.

Week by week

February 1–7: the Aquarius solar eclipse

Mercury enters Pisces on February 1 and squares Uranus on February 2. Venus enters Capricorn on February 3 and squares Neptune on February 5, so check the facts behind romantic or financial promises.

The annular solar eclipse at the New Moon is on February 6 at 15:56 UTC at 17°37′ Aquarius. Use it for intentions about friendships, communities, technology and long-range plans, but expect them to unfold over months. Mercury opposes retrograde Mars on February 7: watch for sharp words.

February 8–14: Uranus direct, Mercury retrograde

February 8 is dense. Venus trines Mars, which helps relationships and creative work. Uranus stations direct at 12:29 UTC at 1°40′ Gemini. Mercury sextiles Venus that evening. The next day, February 9 at 17:36 UTC, Mercury stations retrograde at 5°58′ Pisces.

The Sun opposes retrograde Jupiter on February 11, a reminder not to overcommit. Venus squares Saturn on February 13: relationships and budgets meet their limits, which is useful if you are honest about them.

February 15–21: the most intense week and the Virgo lunar eclipse

Mercury, now retrograde, opposes retrograde Mars again on February 16 and squares Uranus that night. Mars squares Uranus on February 17. Expect surprises, technical glitches and quick tempers; build in buffers.

On February 18 retrograde Mercury slips back into Aquarius, meets the Sun at 29°47′ Aquarius (the inferior conjunction, the midpoint of the retrograde), and the Sun enters Pisces at 21:34 UTC. The Sun opposes Mars on February 19 and squares Uranus on February 20.

The penumbral lunar eclipse at the Full Moon is on February 20 at 23:24 UTC at 2°05′ Virgo. It highlights work routines, health habits and service. Retrograde Mars re-enters Leo on February 21 at 14:13 UTC, shifting the review from daily work to creativity, romance and self-expression.

February 22–28: a quieter close

No new stations or major aspects occur in the last week. Use it to digest the eclipse lessons and to sort out what the Mercury retrograde has brought back to your desk.

How to use the February calendar

1. Set long-range intentions at the Aquarius eclipse, then give them months, not days.
2. Sign before February 9 or after March 3 where you can; if you must sign during the retrograde, read twice and keep copies.
3. Plan buffers for February 16–20, when Mercury, the Sun and Mars all contact Uranus.
4. Use the Virgo lunar eclipse to drop one habit or task that no longer serves your health or work.
5. Keep the last week of the month light. It is the calm between two busy stretches.
