Mars Retrograde Dates
Every Mars retrograde on our calendar, past and upcoming, with both station dates and the sign it happens in. Mars turns retrograde about once every two years and stays that way for roughly two and a half months, and the tradition reads the stretch as a time to redirect effort rather than force it.
