How long Mars stays in Capricorn, against the other signs
Tradition reads Mars for drive and pursuit, so descriptions of the Capricorn man lean on it. Yet only 12.4% of people born with the Sun in Capricorn have Mars there too; Scorpio (12.6%) is more likely. The chart compares how long Mars lingers in each sign overall.
Capricorn: 7.25% of days over 83 separate visits — the fourth-lowest of the twelve. A typical visit lasts 40 days; the longest, 6 months from March 1986, when a retrograde loop held it there. That is 2.86 percentage points behind Virgo.
