How long Mars stays in Scorpio, against the other signs
Tradition reads Mars for drive and pursuit, so descriptions of the Scorpio man lean on it. Yet only 13.3% of people born with the Sun in Scorpio have Mars there too; Libra (14.9%) and Virgo (14.0%) are more likely. The chart compares how long Mars lingers in each sign overall.
Scorpio: 8.83% of days over 86 separate visits — the fifth-highest of the twelve. A typical visit lasts 45 days; the longest, 7 months from January 2031, when a retrograde loop held it there. That is 1.28 percentage points behind Virgo.
