Questions

Retrograde in 2027, answered

When is Mercury retrograde in 2027?

Mercury is retrograde February 9 – March 3 in Pisces; June 10 – July 4 in Cancer; October 7 – October 28 in Scorpio (station retrograde to station direct). Each window is bracketed by a pre- and post-shadow period — the full dates are in the table above.

How many retrogrades happen in 2027?

10 retrograde windows touch 2027 across the eight planets: Mercury 3×, Mars 1×, Jupiter 1×, Saturn 1×, Uranus 2×, Neptune 1×, Pluto 1×. Because the outer planets are each retrograde for four to five months at a time, some part of the sky is retrograde for most of the year.

Which planets are not retrograde in 2027?

Venus runs direct all year — its next retrograde starts May 10, 2028 in Gemini.

What is a retrograde shadow period?

The shadow (or “retroshade”) is the stretch of sky a planet covers three times: once moving forward, once apparently backward, once forward again. The pre-shadow begins when the planet first crosses the degree it will later retrograde back to; the post-shadow ends when it finally re-passes the degree where it first stationed. The tables above list both dates for every window.
