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

  • Uranus in Leo — Nov 23 to Feb 9, 2040 (78 days of overlap)
  • Neptune in Taurus — Nov 23 to Jan 11, 2040 (48 days of overlap)
  • Jupiter in Libra — Jan 16 to Feb 9, 2040 (24 days of overlap)
  • Saturn in Libra — Jan 21 to Feb 9, 2040 (19 days of overlap)

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Mars retrogrades either side of 2039

Previous

2037 Ended December 23, 2037 after 71 days, moving back 16.14° through the zodiac.

Next

2041 Begins December 28, 2041 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.
