Retrograde planets 2026 and 2027: every planet’s dates
Tropical zodiac, Western astrology
The dates when Mercury to Pluto turn retrograde and direct in 2026–2027, in Thailand time, from the astronomical positions of the planets in the tropical zodiac.
What is a retrograde planet?
A retrograde planet looks as if it is moving backward through the zodiac. It is an optical effect. All planets keep moving forward, but when Earth overtakes or is overtaken by another planet, that planet seems, for a while, to slide back against the stars. Think of passing a slower car on a motorway: for a moment it appears to drift backward. Thai astrology calls this พักร.
