Mars in 1925: a year between two loops

737 days separate the end of one Mars retrograde from the start of the next, and 1925 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 1924 and 1926 pages.

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Mars retrogrades either side of 1925

Previous

1924 Ended September 22, 1924 after 60 days, moving back 9.98° through the zodiac.

Next

1926 Begins September 29, 1926 and runs 69 days.

Gap across 1925

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 1925

Every sign Mars occupies during 1925, 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.
