Mars in 1923: a year between two loops

738 days separate the end of one Mars retrograde from the start of the next, and 1923 falls entirely inside that stretch. Mars turns back once every 779.94 days — longer than a calendar year — and each loop is over in weeks, so now and then a whole year passes between two of them.

The loops themselves are on the 1922 and 1924 pages.

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Mars retrogrades either side of 1923

Previous

1922 Ended July 17, 1922 after 70 days, moving back 14.17° through the zodiac.

Next

1924 Begins July 24, 1924 and runs 60 days.

Gap across 1923

2 years between the two — long enough for a whole calendar year to fall inside it with nothing to report.

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.

Mars through the zodiac in 1923

Every sign Mars occupies during 1923, with the dates it enters and leaves. A sign that appears twice means the planet backed into the previous sign during a retrograde and crossed again.
