Mars Retrograde 2031: Dates, Signs and Stations
One window opening in 2031 · 76 days between stations · Libra
Mars turns retrograde once in 2031, on 29 March 2031, and turns direct again on 13 June 2031. Counting only the calendar days of 2031, Mars is retrograde on 77 of them.
29 March to 13 June, in Libra
Mars stations retrograde on 29 March 2031 at 27°20′ Libra, in Vishakha, and stations direct on 13 June 2031 at 10°07′ Libra, in Swati. Between the two stations it travels back 17.2° of the zodiac over 76 days.
27°20′ Libra, the 29 March station, is in Vishakha pada 3, the Gemini navamsa. 10°07′ Libra, the 13 June station, is in Swati, close enough to a pada edge that the pada depends on the ayanamsa. The arc between them spans 6 padas, from Swati pada 2 up to Vishakha pada 3, and Mars crosses every degree of it three times: forward before 29 March, backward until 13 June, and forward again afterwards. Mars is in a neutral sign in Libra.
The whole 17.2° lies inside Libra, so for the 29 March retrograde of 2031 there is no sign change to date: Mars in Libra covers all 76 days.
The site’s ingress, nakshatra and conjunction tables run from 2026 to 2028, so for the 2031 window they have nothing to add, and this page adds nothing in their place.
It begins 773 days after the previous Mars retrograde began on 14 February 2029, and 693 days after that one ended.
How 2031 Compares With Mars’s Other Windows
Across the 4 Mars retrogrades the site computes from 2024 to 2031, a window lasts 76 to 81 days between stations and retraces 17.2° to 19.5°. The 2031 window, at 76 days and 17.2°, is the shortest of them by length and the narrowest by arc.
Every date here is a day, never a time. A planet at a station is barely moving, so the minute it turns is the least stable figure in the table; for Mars in 2031 the day is what two careful sources will agree on.
