In short: Mars is retrograde from 14 Feb 2029, 13:43 UTC+5:30 (Virgo 19.7°) to 6 May 2029, 00:27 UTC+5:30 (Virgo 0.7°), in sidereal Virgo. Mars retrograde is read as energy turned inward: frustration if you force things, real progress if you revise. Avoid starting fights, surgeries of choice, risky sports and big property deals when you can; finish, repair and rethink instead.

How to read this for yourself
- By Moon sign: find your Moon sign (your free kundli shows it on the first line) and read its row. This is the classical Vedic method.
- By ascendant: if you know your rising sign, read the table again for it; where both agree, expect the effect more clearly.
- With your dasha: a transit delivers most when your running period is connected to the same planet or house. Your kundli’s “Your next 12 months” combines both.
Transits describe seasons, not certainties. A “needs care” row asks for patience and planning, never fear; no remedy needs to be bought.
