The December loop up close, shadow to shadow
Mars crosses the 19.12° between 14°06′ Cancer and 3°13′ Leo three times: forward in the pre-shadow (63 days), back while retrograde (79 days), forward again in the post-shadow (67 days).
Mars retrograde in Leo
Mars retrograde in Leo tests pride, ambition and creative drive. Plans for recognition stall, conflicts with authority figures flare, and people reconsider what they are fighting for. It suits reworking creative ambitions rather than forcing them.
…and back into Cancer
Mars retrograde in Cancer turns frustration inward and toward home. Family tensions surface, household projects stall and anger comes out indirectly. It suits addressing emotional grievances openly and repairing the home rather than starting new battles.
It begins in Sagittarius season and ends in
Pisces season.

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.
Computed for 1945
Mars through the zodiac in 1945
Every sign Mars occupies during 1945, 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.
