Retrograde calendar 2041: which planets are retrograde, and when
The full list of planetary retrogrades in 2041: every planet with its dates and degrees, a month-by-month view, the busiest stretch of the year and the days when nothing is retrograde. Each planet links to a detailed guide with a reading for all twelve signs.
Quick answer
In 2041 Mercury turns retrograde three times (Jan 26, May 24, Sep 22). Venus is retrograde Feb 25 – Apr 8; Mars is retrograde Dec 28 – Mar 18, 2042. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are each retrograde for four to five months. At most 4 planets are retrograde at once (Feb 15).

A planet without dates is retrograde for the whole month.
The shape of 2041
The busiest stretch. At most 4 planets are retrograde at the same time: Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus, on Feb 15 (and again Feb 25 – Apr 7, May 29 – Jun 17). Astrologers read a crowded retrograde sky as a period for review and repair across the board.
No fully clear window. There is no day in 2041 with every planet direct; at least one of the slow planets is retrograde throughout.
The fast planets. Mercury turns retrograde three times (Jan 26, May 24, Sep 22). Venus is retrograde Feb 25 – Apr 8. Mars is retrograde Dec 28 – Mar 18, 2042. These are the retrogrades people tend to notice, because Mercury, Venus and Mars describe everyday matters: communication, relationships and drive.
The slow planets. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are each retrograde for four to five months of every year, so they work as background seasons. The days that stand out are their stations, when they stop and turn.
What retrograde means
No planet reverses. Retrograde motion is an apparent change of direction seen from Earth, the same effect as a slower car seeming to slide backwards when you overtake it. Astrologers read a retrograde as a review of what that planet stands for. The retrograde planets guide explains each one.
