Mars retrograde in Virgo

Mars retrograde in Virgo hits work, health and daily routines. Efficiency drops, fitness plans falter and irritation over small details rises. It suits recovery, reorganizing workloads and correcting habits rather than pushing harder.

It begins in Aquarius season and ends in Aries season.

Also retrograde at the same time

  • Jupiter in Virgo — Jan 21 to Apr 12, 1933 (81 days of overlap)
  • Neptune in Virgo — Jan 21 to Apr 12, 1933 (81 days of overlap)
  • Pluto in Cancer — Jan 21 to Apr 4, 1933 (73 days of overlap)
  • Mercury in Aries — Mar 13 to Apr 5, 1933 (23 days of overlap)

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Mars retrogrades either side of 1933

Previous

1931 Ended March 8, 1931 after 80 days, moving back 19.38° through the zodiac.

Next

1935 Begins February 27, 1935 and runs 79 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.
