Mars retrograde in 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 Taurus season.

Also retrograde at the same time

  • Jupiter in Cancer — Mar 1 to Mar 6, 2014 (5 days of overlap)
  • Saturn in Scorpio — Mar 2 to May 20, 2014 (78 days of overlap)
  • Pluto in Capricorn — Apr 14 to May 20, 2014 (35 days of overlap)

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

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Mars retrogrades either side of 2014

Previous

2012 Ended April 14, 2012 after 81 days, moving back 19.41° through the zodiac.

Next

2016 Begins April 17, 2016 and runs 73 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.
