Venus retrograde 2027: the dates, computed
Venus does not move backwards (retrograde) at any point in 2027.
The previous cycle's shadow (the stretch of sky Venus crosses three times) ends December 15, 2026, and the next time Venus moves backwards begins May 10, 2028 at 23:01 UT, in Gemini. If a page lists a Venus retrograde inside 2027, it is wrong.

Part 2 of 2
What this cycle changes for a pair
In the tradition, when Venus moves backwards (retrograde), what would be a one-day pass over a point of the chart becomes three passes over the same degree across months: first pass, review (backwards) and third pass, where what was reviewed settles. The points where the two charts touch (a planet of yours within 2 degrees of a planet of the other person) that fall in that span get revisited. The day Venus stops in the sky and changes direction (a station) is itself read as a weak day for new commitments.
Cosmea computes those passes point by point, labels each one and marks turning days as red days for new commitments, whatever the rest of the computation says.
The shadow, the stretch of sky Venus crosses three times, is disclosed once and stays out of the score.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a Venus retrograde in 2027?
No. Venus moves backwards (retrograde) roughly every 19 months, and 2027 falls between two cycles. The previous one ends its shadow on December 15, 2026; the next backwards turning day (station retrograde) is May 10, 2028 at 23:01 UT.
What to look at for 2027 timing?
Venus, Mars and the slower planets moving over the points where the two charts touch. The synastry calculator shows 7 days; Cosmea, 90.
