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.

It begins in Sagittarius season and ends in Aquarius season.

Also retrograde at the same time

  • Mercury in Sagittarius — Nov 28 to Dec 1, 1992 (2 days of overlap)
  • Jupiter in Libra — Jan 28 to Feb 15, 1993 (17 days of overlap)

For the sign itself, see Cancer and its daily horoscope.

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Mars retrogrades either side of 1993

Previous

1991 Ended January 1, 1991 after 73 days, moving back 16.81° through the zodiac.

Next

1995 Begins January 2, 1995 and runs 81 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.
