Mars retrograde in 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.

…and back into 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.

Also retrograde at the same time

  • Jupiter in Aries — Nov 6 to Dec 10, 1975 (34 days of overlap)
  • Saturn in Leo — Nov 14 to Jan 20, 1976 (67 days of overlap)
  • Mercury in Aquarius — Jan 14 to Jan 20, 1976 (7 days of overlap)
  • Pluto in Libra — Jan 14 to Jan 20, 1976 (6 days of overlap)

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Mars retrogrades either side of 1975

Previous

1973 Ended November 26, 1973 after 67 days, moving back 13.97° through the zodiac.

Next

1977 Begins December 12, 1977 and runs 80 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.
