Planet by planet

Uranus retrograde 2027

September 10, 2026 to February 8, 2027, in Gemini; September 15, 2027 to February 12, 2028, in Gemini.

Uranus rules change, freedom and surprise. Retrograde for about five months a year, it turns upheaval inward: you change your mind before you change your life. Notice where you feel restless and plan the change instead of bolting.

Jupiter retrograde 2027

December 13, 2026 to April 13, 2027, in Leo.

Jupiter rules growth, luck and belief. Its yearly retrograde is quieter: growth turns inward and you revisit what you thought you wanted. Review your long-range plans and let them mature before you expand again.

Mars retrograde 2027

January 10, 2027 to April 1, 2027, from Virgo back into Leo.

Mars rules drive, anger, sex and action. Retrograde, it turns energy inward: projects stall, frustration builds and old conflicts flare. Finish what you've started instead of launching something new, exercise to burn off restlessness, and pick your battles.

Mercury retrograde 2027

February 9, 2027 to March 3, 2027, from Pisces back into Aquarius; June 10, 2027 to July 4, 2027, from Cancer back into Gemini; October 7, 2027 to October 28, 2027, from Scorpio back into Libra.

Mercury rules messages, travel, contracts and technology. When it's retrograde, plans slip, emails go astray and old contacts reappear. Back up your phone, read contracts twice and leave extra time for travel. It's a great window for anything with "re" in front: review, revise, reconnect.

Pluto retrograde 2027

May 8, 2027 to October 18, 2027, in Aquarius.

Pluto rules power, endings and transformation. Its retrograde is a slow, private reckoning with what you've been holding on to. Let go of something you've outgrown and look honestly at where you give your power away.

Neptune retrograde 2027

July 9, 2027 to December 15, 2027, in Aries.

Neptune rules dreams, intuition and illusion. Retrograde, it lifts the fog a little, so you see a situation or a person more clearly. Check your assumptions, especially rosy ones, and give your imagination real time.

Saturn retrograde 2027

August 9, 2027 to December 24, 2027, in Aries.

Saturn rules structure, duty and time. Its retrograde loosens deadlines and asks you to rebuild foundations you skipped. Repair what's shaky at work and at home, and finish old responsibilities before taking on new ones.
