Station in Cancer · direct in Gemini
Mercury retrograde
June 2027.
Mercury stations retrograde at 6°22′ Cancer on June 10, 2027 at 18:15 UTC and stations direct at 27°28′ Gemini on July 4, 2027 at 19:39 UTC. Pre-shadow begins May 26, 2027 at 06:04 UTC, the cazimi is June 23, 2027 at 08:00 UTC, at 1°40′ Cancer, and post-shadow ends July 19, 2027 at 08:43 UTC.
Dates below are UTC, to the minute.
Station dates
The five moments of the June 2027 Mercury cycle. Mercury stations retrograde in Cancer and direct in Gemini, so the cycle is named for both signs. The retrograde lasts 24 days.
| Phase | UTC | Your time | Degree |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-shadow starts | May 26, 2027 · 06:04 | UTC only | — |
| Station retrograde | Jun 10, 2027 · 18:15 | UTC only | 6°22′ Cancer |
| Cazimi (Mercury–Sun) | Jun 23, 2027 · 08:00 | UTC only | 1°40′ Cancer |
| Station direct | Jul 4, 2027 · 19:39 | UTC only | 27°28′ Gemini |
| Post-shadow ends | Jul 19, 2027 · 08:43 | UTC only | — |
The cazimi is the inferior conjunction: Mercury passes between Earth and the Sun, in the middle of the retrograde. Mercury is within 17′ of the Sun from 03:33 to 12:26 UTC on June 23, 2027. How these are timed.
Signs and degrees
Mercury retraces 8°54′ of the zodiac: it stations retrograde at 6°22′ Cancer and backs up to 27°28′ Gemini before it stations direct. On the way back it leaves Cancer and returns to Gemini, so this retrograde touches two signs. Mercury first reaches 27°28′ Gemini on May 26, 2027, 15 days before the station, and clears 6°22′ Cancer again on July 19, 2027, 15 days after it turns direct: 54 days on these degrees in all. The cazimi falls on day 14 of 24, at 1°40′ Cancer.
The last Mercury retrograde station in Cancer before this one was June 29, 2026 at 17:36 UTC, at 26°15′ Cancer. The next one is June 21, 2033 at 10:05 UTC, at 17°56′ Cancer. Since 1900, the closest earlier station to 6°22′ Cancer came 125 years before, on June 11, 1902 at 04:41 UTC, at 6°09′ Cancer, 0°13′ away.
What to do in each phase
| Phase | Dates | Traditional focus |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-shadow | May 26, 2027 – Jun 10, 2027 | Finish launches, back up devices, confirm travel and contract details. |
| Retrograde | Jun 10, 2027 – Jul 4, 2027 | Review, revise, reconnect. Read the fine print before you sign. |
| Cazimi | Jun 23, 2027 · 08:00 | A short, clear window inside the retrograde: set one fresh intention. |
| Post-shadow | Jul 4, 2027 – Jul 19, 2027 | Relaunch what was paused and send the revised version. |
Compared with the previous cycle
| February 2027 | This cycle | |
|---|---|---|
| Station retrograde | Feb 9, 2027 · 5°59′ Pisces | Jun 10, 2027 · 6°22′ Cancer |
| Station direct | Mar 3, 2027 · 20°55′ Aquarius | Jul 4, 2027 · 27°28′ Gemini |
| Signs | Pisces → Aquarius | Cancer → Gemini |
| Length | 22 days | 24 days |
| Retrograde arc | 15°04′ | 8°54′ |
Mercury moves direct for 99 days between the two retrogrades. This one lasts 24 days, 2 days longer than the February 2027 cycle, and its retrograde station sits 120°23′ further along the zodiac than the previous one.
