Solar eclipse, 6 February 2027
On 6 February 2027 the New Moon in Aquarius is an annular solar eclipse, greatest at 15:59 UTC with the Sun and Moon together at 17°37′ Aquarius. The Moon is too far from Earth to cover the whole Sun, so along a narrow path a bright ring stays around it. That path runs across Chile and Argentina, brushes Uruguay and southern Brazil, crosses the Atlantic and reaches West Africa from Côte d’Ivoire to Nigeria; much of South America and Africa sees a partial eclipse.
Astrologically it is a New Moon close to the North Node, about 3° away, which is why it is an eclipse at all. New Moons start things; an eclipse New Moon starts things you did not quite schedule. Aquarius is about groups, networks and the future you share with other people. It also opens an eclipse season: two weeks later, on 20 February, the Full Moon in Virgo is a penumbral lunar eclipse.
What it means for each sign
Houses are whole-sign solar houses counted from each Sun sign. If you know your birth time, count from your Rising sign instead: that house is the one that applies to you.
| Sun sign | House | Where it shows up |
|---|---|---|
Aries | 11th house | A new start around friends, groups, networks and hopes, often arriving sideways rather than as planned. |
Taurus | 10th house | A new start around career, reputation and public direction, often arriving sideways rather than as planned. |
Gemini | 9th house | A new start around travel, study, beliefs and the bigger picture, often arriving sideways rather than as planned. |
Cancer | 8th house | A new start around shared money, debts, intimacy and what you owe, often arriving sideways rather than as planned. |

Much of South America and Africa sees a partial eclipse; Europe, Asia and North America see nothing. Never look at the Sun without certified eclipse glasses, even during annularity.
Which signs feel it most?
