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.

…and back into 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.

It begins in Capricorn season and ends in Aries season.

Also retrograde at the same time

  • Mercury in Aquarius — Jan 26 to Feb 16, 1995 (21 days of overlap)
  • Pluto in Sagittarius — Mar 4 to Mar 24, 1995 (21 days of overlap)

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

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Mars retrogrades either side of 1995

Previous

1993 Ended February 15, 1993 after 78 days, moving back 18.95° through the zodiac.

Next

1997 Begins February 6, 1997 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.
