Uranus retrograde
10 Sept 2026 to 8 Feb 2027
Begins 18:27 UTC · Ends 12:30 UTC
What this means
Uranus's retrograde cycle marks two apparent turning points. Use its traditional themes as questions to explore, rather than events to expect.
What changes at the two stations
Uranus appears to move backward from Earth's viewpoint while continuing its orbit. The retrograde station starts this phase; the direct station ends it. Tropical endpoint signs: Gemini and Gemini. Lahiri sidereal endpoint signs: Taurus and Taurus. These are the turning points, not every sign crossed.
The traditional themes
Uranus is a Western astrology body, outside the classical Vedic nine grahas, the traditional astrological bodies and points. Uranus symbolises independence, experimentation and changes to established patterns. These themes ask where more freedom would be useful. Retrograde symbolism is often used for reconsidering how those themes are expressed, not assuming they stop working.
A practical question to try
Try one small, reversible change before making a larger commitment, and consider who else it affects.
Where your own chart matters
A personal reading needs the matching zodiac, natal chart and the question you bring. In a separate Vedic reading, Dasha means the planetary-period framework; these outer planets have no periods in the classical Vimshottari sequence. A shared transit alone cannot establish a personal outcome.

Jupiter retrograde
13 Dec 2026 to 13 Apr 2027
Begins 00:57 UTC · Ends 02:11 UTC
What this means
Jupiter's retrograde cycle marks two apparent turning points. Use its traditional themes as questions to explore, rather than events to expect.
What changes at the two stations
Jupiter appears to move backward from Earth's viewpoint while continuing its orbit. The retrograde station starts this phase; the direct station ends it. Tropical endpoint signs: Leo and Leo. Lahiri sidereal endpoint signs: Leo and Cancer. These are the turning points, not every sign crossed.
The traditional themes
In Vedic symbolism, Jupiter symbolises learning, guidance and judgement. Growth here is a subject for reflection, rather than a promise of profit or opportunity. Retrograde symbolism is often used for reconsidering how those themes are expressed, not assuming they stop working.
A practical question to try
Choose one thing you want to learn and check which teacher, evidence or realistic practice would help.
Where your own chart matters
In your birth chart, the rising sign and houses place the transit in different life areas. A Vedic reading also considers Dasha, the personal planetary-period framework, and how the planet was placed at birth. Birth-time uncertainty matters here. The shared event alone cannot establish what will happen to you.

Mars retrograde
10 Jan 2027 to 1 Apr 2027
Begins 12:59 UTC · Ends 14:08 UTC
What this means
Mars's retrograde cycle marks two apparent turning points. Use its traditional themes as questions to explore, rather than events to expect.

The traditional themes
In Vedic symbolism, Mars symbolises effort, initiative and assertion. These themes concern how you begin a task, express a boundary and handle disagreement. Retrograde symbolism is often used for reconsidering how those themes are expressed, not assuming they stop working.
A practical question to try
Give one demanding task a clear next step, and decide how to state a boundary without escalating a disagreement.

A practical question to try
Reread one important message, confirm an assumption with the other person, and keep a clear record of the agreement.

The traditional themes
Pluto is a Western astrology body, outside the classical Vedic nine grahas, the traditional astrological bodies and points. Pluto symbolises power, control and deep change.

A practical question to try
Identify one situation where you can share a decision or clarify a boundary instead of trying to control the whole outcome.
Where your own chart matters

A practical question to try
Put one hope into words, then separate what you know from what you still need to check.

How the dates are checked
Positions are measured from Earth. Vedic entries use the Lahiri sidereal zodiac and mean lunar nodes. Western entries use the tropical zodiac. Retrograde cycles use one pair of station times, with both zodiac positions shown at the same instants.
Times are shown with their time zone. A local date can differ from the UTC date. Future clock times may be refined as astronomical references and leap-second bulletins are updated.
Tropical and Lahiri sidereal use different zodiac references. Check each entry’s setting when comparing calendars.

A little more clarity
Questions, answered.
Does a retrograde planet actually reverse its orbit?
No. Here retrograde describes the planet's apparent backward movement through zodiac longitude as viewed from Earth. The changing relative positions of Earth and the planet create that appearance. It is different from the direction in which a planet spins on its axis.
What do the start and end of a retrograde period mark?
They mark stations, where the apparent motion changes direction. A station is a calculated boundary, not proof that an event in your life begins or ends then. Check the displayed timezone when copying a station into your own calendar.
