Mars retrograde in Scorpio

Mars retrograde in Scorpio intensifies power struggles and buried anger. Old conflicts resurface, obsessions deepen and control becomes the issue. It suits deep inner work and releasing grudges rather than launching aggressive campaigns.

…and back into 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.

It begins in Pisces season and ends in Gemini season.

Gap across 2046

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.
