Mars retrograde in 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 Libra season and ends in Capricorn season.

Also retrograde at the same time

  • Neptune in Aries — Oct 12 to Dec 23, 2037 (71 days of overlap)
  • Pluto in Aquarius — Oct 12 to Nov 3, 2037 (21 days of overlap)
  • Uranus in Cancer — Oct 30 to Dec 23, 2037 (54 days of overlap)
  • Jupiter in Cancer — Nov 16 to Dec 23, 2037 (37 days of overlap)
  • Mercury in Sagittarius — Nov 28 to Dec 18, 2037 (20 days of overlap)
  • Venus in Capricorn — Dec 14 to Dec 23, 2037 (9 days of overlap)

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Mars retrogrades either side of 2037

Previous

2035 Ended October 15, 2035 after 61 days, moving back 10.68° through the zodiac.

Next

2039 Begins November 23, 2039 and runs 78 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.

Computed for 2037

Mars through the zodiac in 2037

Mars in Sagittarius From Jan 1 – Feb 1
Mars in Capricorn Feb 1 – Mar 14
Mars in Aquarius Mar 14 – Apr 24
Mars in Pisces Apr 24 – Jun 4
