2027 plays out in two acts: Leo’s momentum until July 26, then Virgo’s sorting. Every date is in Eastern Time — Mars retrograde, the Jupiter–Saturn trine, the August 2 total eclipse, Saturn direct on December 23 — along with what the year activates, house by house, for your sign.
Three retrogrades in 2027, and the same move every time: Mercury backs out of a water sign into an air sign. Exact dates in Eastern Time (February 9 – March 3, June 10 – July 4, October 7 – 28), the shadow periods, what's better re-read or postponed, and what each period changes for all 12 signs.
Venus backs through Scorpio from October 3, crosses into Libra on the 25th, and Mercury retrograde joins her on October 24: this is the autumn double retrograde. Every date in Eastern Time with UTC, what's better postponed, and what the period changes for each of the 12 signs.
