Every retrograde
of 2027.
10 retrograde windows across the eight planets — every station date, shadow window, and sign, computed from a real ephemeris rather than copied from a list.
Every reversal of 2027, drawn.
Every planet on one chart — dashed shadows, glowing retrograde spans, and the day you're standing on. Bend the year into a ring and read it like an astrolabe, or spread it day by day on a calendar. The simultaneous pile-ups get their own chart on the overlap timeline.
Planet by planet, station to station.
Station retrograde to station direct, with the pre-shadow entry and post-shadow exit for each window. Windows that begin or end outside 2027 carry their year.

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.
Never get caught off guard.
A quiet heads-up before each turn, and the all-clear after — for the planets you choose.
