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.

…and back into Virgo

Mars retrograde in Virgo hits work, health and daily routines. Efficiency drops, fitness plans falter and irritation over small details rises. It suits recovery, reorganising workloads and correcting habits rather than pushing harder.

It begins in Aquarius season and ends in Taurus season.

Gap across 2044

4 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.
