When do Rahu and Ketu change sign in 2027?

Which planets go retrograde in 2027?
Mercury three times, Mars once, Saturn once. Rahu and Ketu always move backwards, and the Sun and Moon never do.
What is a gochar (transit)?
Gochar is where the planets are now, read against your birth chart. A slow planet changing sign, Saturn every two and a half years or Jupiter about every year, moves its effect to a new house of every chart, which is why those dates are watched. How a transit reads for you depends on your Moon sign and lagna.
Why do these dates differ from a Western horoscope?
These are sidereal (Vedic) signs, Lahiri ayanamsa, about 24° behind the tropical signs Western astrology uses, so a planet changes sign here on different dates. Retrograde dates are the same in both, because they are about motion.
What it means for you
These dates are the same for everyone. Which house of your chart each one touches depends on your Moon sign and lagna, and KP timing finds the hours when the ruling planets favour your task, or a trading session, in your own chart.
