Venus Transit 2027: Every Shukra Gochar Date

A Year Without a Station (शुक्र गोचर 2027)

Venus begins 2027 in Libra, the sign it will enter on 22 November 2026, and leaves it for Scorpio at 23:18 IST on 1 January 2027. From there the ingress table lists fifteen sign changes inside the year, the last of them into Capricorn on 15 December 2027. Every one is a forward crossing into the next sign of the zodiac, because the station table has no Venus station dated 2027 at all.

That is the difference from the year before. In 2026 Venus entered Libra on 2 September 2026 and turned retrograde there on 3 October 2026; it will move back into Virgo on 6 November 2026, turn direct in Virgo on 14 November 2026 and cross into Libra again on 22 November 2026; the Venus retrograde 2026 page follows that loop. The next station in the table is a retrograde one on 11 May 2028, in Taurus, set out on the Venus retrograde 2028 page. Between those two stations lie 544 days of uninterrupted forward motion, and the whole of 2027 sits inside them. The retrograde hub has the other planets’ loops.

Every Venus Sign Change in 2027

Times are IST, from the site’s DE421 ingress table with the Lahiri ayanamsa. “Days in sign” is counted by calendar date from one entry to the next, so the last row runs into 2028, when Venus moves on into Aquarius on 8 January 2028. Each sign name links to the site’s reference page for Venus in that sign.

Why Scorpio, Sagittarius and Capricorn Appear Twice

Twelve of the fifteen rows take Venus once round the zodiac, and the last three begin a second lap before the year is out. So Scorpio, Sagittarius and Capricorn, the first three signs entered in 2027, are each entered again before December ends:

• Scorpio: 1 January and 27 October, 299 days apart.
• Sagittarius: 29 January and 21 November, 296 days apart.
• Capricorn: 24 February and 15 December, 294 days apart.

The site’s pace table gives Venus’s cycle as “about a year (geocentric)” and marks that figure as a mean. These three laps, with no retrograde loop in them, each come in more than a month short of a year. Libra is the opposite case: it is entered only once in 2027, on 3 October 2027, yet Venus is also in it on the year’s first day, left over from the 2026 loop.

Speed and the Length of Each Stay

The ingress rows give Venus between 1.01° and 1.24° a day at its 2027 crossings. The slowest is the first, into Scorpio on 1 January, while Venus is still picking up speed after the 2026 direct station; at its entry into Libra on 22 November 2026 it will be moving only 0.31° a day. The fastest crossing of the year is into Libra on 3 October.

The stays follow the speed. The longest is 28 days, in Scorpio at the start of the year; the shortest is 24 days, and seven of the fifteen stays are that length. Against the roughly 3 weeks to 2 months per sign that the pace table allows Venus, every stay in 2027 sits at the short end. The retrograde year before looks different: the 2026 Libra season, from the first entry on 2 September to the Scorpio crossing on 1 January 2027, runs 121 days including the Virgo interlude, while the 2027 Libra stay is 24 days.

How Much to Trust Each Clock Time

Each crossing above moves well over the 0.1°-a-day floor below which the site prints a date only, so each carries a minute. At these speeds one arcminute of longitude is worth roughly 19 to 24 minutes of clock, and almanacs using a slightly different ayanamsa can differ by more than an arcminute. A printed time can shift by that much without anyone’s arithmetic being wrong.

The date matters more than the minute, and it shifts only when a crossing sits close to midnight. None of the 2027 crossings is within one arcminute’s worth of clock of midnight, but two are within two. The Scorpio crossing at 23:18 on 1 January 2027 is 42 minutes before midnight, at about 24 minutes per arcminute, so an almanac whose ayanamsa differs by about two arcminutes in one direction would date it 2 January. The Taurus crossing at 00:37 on 4 June 2027 is 37 minutes after midnight, at about 20 minutes per arcminute, so a difference of about two arcminutes the other way would date it 3 June. Both dates are worth holding a little loosely.

The Dignity Signs in 2027

The site’s planet table names one sign of exaltation for Venus, two own signs, a moolatrikona inside one of them, and one sign of debilitation. This page gives the sign only, not the degrees the table attaches. On the 2027 rows, each falls as follows:

• Pisces, exaltation: 15 April to 10 May, 25 days.
• Taurus, own sign: 4 June to 28 June, 24 days.
• Libra, own sign and the moolatrikona sign: 3 October to 27 October, 24 days, besides the year’s first day.
• Virgo, debilitation: 9 September to 3 October, 24 days.

Because there is no retrograde this year, Venus crosses Virgo once and passes straight on into Libra; in 2026 it enters Virgo twice, the second time moving backwards. The table records placements. What a dignity amounts to in any one birth chart depends on that chart, and the table does not say.

Conjunctions With Venus in 2027

The site’s conjunction table lists seven exact meetings of Venus with another graha in 2027, dated here by the day. Three of them are with Mercury. The table’s three Venus rows with Rahu or Ketu use the mean node and are left out.

Cancer is the only sign that holds two of them, on consecutive dates, 11 August and 12 August. The meeting with Saturn falls in Pisces, the sign the planet table gives as Venus’s exaltation. The table gives the meetings and no reading of them.

Reading These Dates Against a Chart

The dates are the same for everyone. Which house each sign is from the natal Moon or the lagna is not, and in the gochara method that count is where a reading starts. The Moon sign calculator finds the janma rashi from birth details, and the Venus reference page gathers what the site’s tables record about the graha. The Venus in Libra 2026 page covers the two-spell season this year opens inside, and the Venus in Scorpio 2027 page takes up the first sign change of the year. For the other fast grahas this year, see the Sun, Mercury and Mars transit lists.

What the tradition makes Venus the karaka of is set out in Venus in marriage and love, and the practices associated with Shukra are gathered in remedies for a weak Venus. Picking a date for a wedding or any other undertaking is a muhurat question, which the muhurat pages take up; this list does not rank one month against another.
