Mars retrograde in 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 Pisces season.

Also retrograde at the same time

  • Uranus in Leo — Dec 28 to Mar 18, 2042 (81 days of overlap)
  • Neptune in Taurus — Dec 28 to Jan 15, 2042 (18 days of overlap)
  • Mercury in Aquarius — Jan 10 to Jan 30, 2042 (21 days of overlap)
  • Saturn in Scorpio — Feb 13 to Mar 18, 2042 (33 days of overlap)

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

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Mars retrogrades either side of 2041

Previous

2040 Ended February 9, 2040 after 78 days, moving back 18.73° through the zodiac.

Next

2044 Begins January 31, 2044 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.

Computed for 2041

Mars through the zodiac in 2041
