Mars retrograde in Cancer

Mars retrograde in Cancer turns frustration inward and toward home. Family tensions surface, household projects stall and anger comes out indirectly. It suits addressing emotional grievances openly and repairing the home rather than starting new battles.

It begins in Sagittarius season and ends in Aquarius season.

Also retrograde at the same time

  • Mercury in Sagittarius — Nov 26 to Dec 2, 1913 (6 days of overlap)
  • Saturn in Gemini — Nov 26 to Feb 11, 1914 (77 days of overlap)
  • Neptune in Cancer — Nov 26 to Feb 12, 1914 (78 days of overlap)

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Mars retrogrades either side of 1914

Previous

1911 Ended December 29, 1911 after 72 days, moving back 16.66° through the zodiac.

Next

1915 Begins December 31, 1915 and runs 81 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.
