Mars retrograde in Cancer

Mars retrograde in Cancer turns frustration inward and towards 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 Aquarius season.

Gap across 2007

1.9 years between the two — long enough for a whole calendar year to fall inside it with nothing to report.

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.
