Mars retrograde in Libra

Mars retrograde in Libra brings conflict in partnerships to the surface. Unspoken resentments emerge, legal disputes slow down and decisions stall under indecision. It suits renegotiating fairness rather than escalating disagreements.

It begins in Pisces season and ends in Taurus season.

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Mars retrogrades either side of 1935

Previous

1933 Ended April 12, 1933 after 81 days, moving back 19.42° through the zodiac.

Next

1937 Begins April 14, 1937 and runs 74 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.
