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

  • Uranus in Virgo — Jan 28 to Apr 19, 1965 (81 days of overlap)
  • Pluto in Virgo — Jan 28 to Apr 19, 1965 (81 days of overlap)
  • Neptune in Scorpio — Feb 20 to Apr 19, 1965 (59 days of overlap)
  • Mercury in Aries — Mar 29 to Apr 19, 1965 (21 days of overlap)

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Mars retrogrades either side of 1965

Previous

1963 Ended March 16, 1963 after 80 days, moving back 19.46° through the zodiac.

Next

1967 Begins March 8, 1967 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.
