Mars in 2049: a year between two loops

734 days separate the end of one Mars retrograde from the start of the next, and 2049 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 2048 and 2050 pages.

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Mars retrogrades either side of 2049

Previous

2048 Ended July 10, 2048 after 71 days, moving back 14.86° through the zodiac.

Next

2050 Begins July 15, 2050 and runs 60 days.

Gap across 2049

2 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 2049

Mars through the zodiac in 2049

Every sign Mars occupies during 2049, 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 Pisces From Jan 1 – Jan 22
Mars in Aries Jan 22 – Mar 4
Mars in Taurus Mar 4 – Apr 16
Mars in Gemini Apr 16 – May 30
Mars in Cancer May 30 – Jul 15
Mars in Leo Jul 15 – Aug 31
Mars in Virgo Aug 31 – Oct 17
Mars in Libra Oct 17 – Dec 4
Mars in Scorpio Dec 4 – Dec 31 and beyond

9 segments in 2049. Dates from JPL orbital elements, good to about a day at sign changes.
