About Mars signs
Mars spends about six to seven weeks in each sign. Roughly every two years it turns retrograde, and then it can stay in one sign for six months or more.

How accurate is it?
Positions are calculated in your browser and checked against the Swiss Ephemeris, the reference used by professional astrologers: within a few arcseconds for the Sun, Moon and chart angles, and well under a tenth of a degree for Mercury, Venus and Mars. Historical time zones and daylight saving rules come from the time zone database built into your browser.
Questions
Do I need my birth time for my Mars sign?
Almost never. Mars moves slowly, so your birth date is enough unless Mars changed sign that day.
