Mars is in Retrograde! So hibernate away
I am sure most of you have heard of MERCURY RETROGRADE – but did you know that MARS also goes RETROGRADE? Not as often as mercury, but it does, every 26 months!
Not only is it Eclipse season (October – December 2022) but MARS has just started it’s retrograde in the sign of Gemini, October 30, 2022 – January 12, 2023. This explains why many of us might be feeling so tired & unmotivated. Mars has been in the sign of Gemini since August 20, 2022, & will stay there until March 25, 2023.
*** Right now it’s in retrograde motion. In this post, I will address how its retrograde motion will affect us all.
When Planets go Retrograde – it is an opportunity for us to RE-VISIT things that, that planet rules. It also means that the dominant traits of the planet go dormant. Therefore, whatever traits or energies the planet rules become subdued, which can feel confusing. Mars rules our drive, action, aggression, motivation & even sex! It shapes how we make moves to fulfill our desires and how we cope with and express anger.
The above is a general overview of Mars’s effect on all of us but to get a better understanding of how it will affect you, read the following predictions based on your rising sign
