What to expect from 2027
Mercury turns retrograde three times in 2027, which is the usual count — the exception is a year with four. The slower planets each contribute at most one period, but those periods are far longer: Saturn alone covers roughly four and a half months, so a large share of 2027 falls inside some retrograde or other. That is normal rather than ominous, and it is why blaming any given difficulty on "a retrograde" is usually unfalsifiable.
What actually varies is which degrees get worked over. A station at 6° Pisces matters to someone with a planet near 6° Pisces and passes almost unnoticed by everyone else. Cast your free natal chart and compare the station degrees above against your own placements.
