Mars retrograde in Scorpio

Mars retrograde in Scorpio intensifies power struggles and buried anger. Old conflicts resurface, obsessions deepen and control becomes the issue. It suits deep inner work and releasing grudges rather than launching aggressive campaigns.

It begins in Aries season and ends in Gemini season.

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Mars retrogrades either side of 1905

Previous

1903 Ended May 9, 1903 after 80 days, moving back 18.85° through the zodiac.

Next

1907 Begins June 5, 1907 and runs 65 days.

Both dates are computed from the planet’s apparent motion, not taken from a table. A retrograde begins the moment its daily movement against the stars turns negative, and that moment is findable to the hour.
