Worked example

Born 5 May 1990, 14:30 UTC

Mars in Pisces, 10°58′

Water · Mutable · Direct

The birth time is already in UTC: 14:30 on 5 May 1990.
The ecliptic longitude of Mars at that instant is 340.97°.
Each sign spans 30°. 340.97° is 11 whole signs (Aries to Aquarius) plus 10.97°, so Mars is in the twelfth sign, Pisces, at 10°58′.
10°58′ is 10°58′ from Aquarius: outside the 1° cusp band, so no cusp warning is shown.

Method

How this calculator works

Your birth time is converted to UTC using the time zone in force at your birth place on that date, daylight saving included. astronomy-engine then computes the position of Mars along the ecliptic for that instant, in the tropical zodiac most Western astrologers use. Each sign spans 30°, so that position gives both your sign and the exact degree within it.

Questions

Mars Sign questions

What is my Mars sign?

The sign Mars was in when you were born. Mars usually spends six to seven weeks in a sign, and up to seven months around a retrograde, so the date is nearly always enough.

How common is Mars retrograde at birth?

Mars turns retrograde for about ten weeks every 26 months, so roughly 1 in 10 people are born with it retrograde.

Do I need my birth time?

Only if Mars changed sign on your birth day; the calculator then shows both signs and the change time.
