What to expect from 2027
Mercury turns retrograde 3 times in 2027; three is the usual count, with the occasional year of four. The slower planets each contribute at most one period, but those periods are far longer: Saturn covers roughly four and a half months, and Uranus, Neptune and Pluto around five each, so most 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.
That was the sky. This is your sky.
Everything above is true for everyone. These three are true only for you — and all free.

How many retrogrades are there in 2027?
10 retrograde periods are active during 2027, counting those that begin in 2026 or end in 2028. Mercury accounts for 3 of them; every slower planet turns retrograde at most once a year, and Uranus, Neptune and Pluto do so every year for roughly five months.
