Mars in 2045: a year between two loops

688 days separate the end of one Mars retrograde from the start of the next, and 2045 falls entirely inside that stretch. Mars turns back once every 779.94 days — longer than a calendar year — and each loop is over in weeks, so now and then a whole year passes between two of them.

The loops themselves are on the 2044 and 2046 pages.

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Mars retrogrades either side of 2045

Previous

2044 Ended April 21, 2044 after 81 days, moving back 19.3° through the zodiac.

Next

2046 Begins March 11, 2046 and runs 79 days.

Gap across 2045

1.9 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.

Computed for 2045

Mars through the zodiac in 2045

Every sign Mars occupies during 2045, with the dates it enters and leaves. A sign that appears twice means the planet backed into the previous sign during a retrograde and crossed again.

Mars in Aquarius From Jan 1 – Jan 28
Mars in Pisces Jan 28 – Mar 7
Mars in Aries Mar 7 – Apr 15
Mars in Taurus Apr 15 – May 26
Mars in Gemini May 26 – Jul 8
Mars in Cancer Jul 8 – Aug 23
Mars in Leo Aug 23 – Oct 10
Mars in Virgo Oct 10 – Nov 30
Mars in Libra Nov 30 – Dec 31 and beyond

9 segments in 2045. Dates from JPL orbital elements, good to about a day at sign changes.
