Mars retrograde in Gemini

Mars retrograde in Gemini scatters energy and sharpens arguments. Projects stall because attention is split, debates go in circles and travel plans are disrupted. It suits finishing half-done tasks and choosing which battles actually matter.

It begins in Scorpio season and ends in Capricorn season.

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Mars retrogrades either side of 1944

Previous

1941 Ended November 10, 1941 after 65 days, moving back 12.65° through the zodiac.

Next

1945 Begins December 4, 1945 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.
