Mars retrograde in 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.

…and back into 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 Gemini season.

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Mars retrogrades either side of 1967

Previous

1965 Ended April 19, 1965 after 81 days, moving back 19.33° through the zodiac.

Next

1969 Begins April 27, 1969 and runs 72 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.
