Mars in 2047: a year between two loops

703 days separate the end of one Mars retrograde from the start of the next, and 2047 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 2046 and 2048 pages.

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Mars retrogrades either side of 2047

Previous

2046 Ended May 28, 2046 after 79 days, moving back 18.13° through the zodiac.

Next

2048 Begins April 30, 2048 and runs 71 days.

Gap across 2047

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 2047

Mars through the zodiac in 2047

Every sign Mars occupies during 2047, 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 7
Mars in Pisces Jan 7 – Feb 14
Mars in Aries Feb 14 – Mar 26
Mars in Taurus Mar 26 – May 7
Mars in Gemini May 7 – Jun 19
Mars in Cancer Jun 19 – Aug 4
Mars in Leo Aug 4 – Sep 20
Mars in Virgo Sep 20 – Nov 7
Mars in Libra Nov 7 – Dec 27
Mars in Scorpio Dec 27 – Dec 31 and beyond

10 segments in 2047. Dates from JPL orbital elements, good to about a day at sign changes.
