…and back into Scorpio

Mars retrograde in Scorpio intensifies power struggles and buried anger. Old conflicts resurface, obsessions deepen and control becomes the issue. It suits deep inner work and releasing grudges rather than launching aggressive campaigns.

It begins in Aries season and ends in Cancer season.

Also retrograde at the same time

  • Venus in Taurus — Apr 14 to May 9, 1937 (25 days of overlap)
  • Neptune in Virgo — Apr 14 to May 27, 1937 (43 days of overlap)
  • Mercury in Taurus — Apr 30 to May 24, 1937 (24 days of overlap)
  • Jupiter in Capricorn — May 15 to Jun 27, 1937 (43 days of overlap)

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Mars retrogrades either side of 1937

Previous

1935 Ended May 17, 1935 after 79 days, moving back 18.56° through the zodiac.

Next

1939 Begins June 22, 1939 and runs 62 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.
