Reading 2027's retrogrades in your chart
The degrees above are what matter. Cast your chart and find where they fall: that house is the area being re-covered, three times over. A natal planet within a couple of degrees of a station gets the retrograde's full attention — Mercury will pass it going forward, backward, and forward again.
