Every eclipse in 2027
February 6, 2027, a annular solar eclipse at 17°38′ Aquarius, greatest eclipse 16:00 UTC. February 20, 2027, a penumbral lunar eclipse at 2°05′ Virgo with the Sun in Pisces, greatest eclipse 23:13 UTC. July 18, 2027, a penumbral lunar eclipse at 25°49′ Capricorn with the Sun in Cancer, greatest eclipse 16:03 UTC. August 2, 2027, a total solar eclipse at 9°55′ Leo, greatest eclipse 10:07 UTC. August 17, 2027, a penumbral lunar eclipse at 24°11′ Aquarius with the Sun in Leo, greatest eclipse 07:14 UTC.
A solar eclipse is a new Moon with the Moon close enough to the lunar nodes to cover the Sun; a lunar eclipse is a full Moon passing through Earth's shadow. Penumbral lunar eclipses are faint and partial ones only dim part of the disc, while total eclipses darken the whole Moon. Where an eclipse is visible from the ground is a separate question; the positions above are the same everywhere.
The Aquarius–Leo and Virgo–Pisces and Capricorn–Cancer and Leo–Aquarius and Aquarius–Leo axes
Eclipses come in pairs about two weeks apart and move slowly around the zodiac, so a year usually concentrates on one or two sign axes. In 2027 the Aquarius–Leo and Virgo–Pisces and Capricorn–Cancer and Leo–Aquarius and Aquarius–Leo axes carry every eclipse. If your Sun, Moon or rising sign is one of Aquarius, Leo, Virgo, Pisces, Capricorn and Cancer, astrologers would say the eclipse season lands on a personal point; the sign pages for 2027 list those dates for each sign. Traditionally an eclipse marks a hinge, a moment to close one chapter and open another, which is a frame for reflection rather than an event that happens to you.
How to use eclipse dates
A practical way to use this list is to pick the eclipse nearest the sign that matters to you, note the week around it, and treat that week as a review window: what has run its course, what you have been avoiding, what you would start if the decision were already made. Avoid reading the eclipse as a verdict on any single day. If you know your birth time, the house an eclipse falls in says which area of life the review belongs to; without it, the Sun sign pages give the broad theme.

No. Astrologers work from the Moon's and Sun's positions, which are the same from every location. Visibility only decides whether you can watch it.
