Retrograde planets in the natal chart. Mars retrograde - meaning and impact

Saving energy for great accomplishments is a sign of Mars retrograde. You should be proactive instead of waiting for the ideal.

The desire to invest one’s energy only in ideal things causes pressure on oneself and an ephemeral expectation of suitable conditions. People with retrograde Mars tend to wait a long time for opportunities to act. Such a life position leads to “fermentation” of vital forces and a person spends his energy on all sorts of nonsense instead of great deeds. A kind of psychological phenomenon arises: a person supposedly gathers strength for great achievements, but at the same time spends it on some little things in life.

The calling of retrograde Mars is to make a person a standard of self-confidence and masculinity as a result of self-pressure and dissatisfaction. The path will not be easy, but at the end, shining armor and countless victories await the person.

Reasons for Mars retrograde

• Violence towards living beings past life. This led to blocking vital energy by means of idealization of activity. In this incarnation it is worth renouncing violence and making efforts towards your goals.
• Confusion in matters and goals. In a past life, there was no clear idea of ​​where and why to invest one’s energy. As a result, a desire arose to sort out my affairs.
• The desire to be only spiritually motivated and to act according to the Divine plan. Therefore, the material part of affairs may suffer and the person will not have sufficient motivation to do something for himself.

Energy Saving

People with retrograde Mars tend to be overly thrifty and save energy. They seem to be trying to have reserves for imaginary great deeds and goals. It must be admitted that in one case out of a million such reserves are really needed, but almost always these reserves simply sit idle in vain. At the same time, a person abandons urgent activities and goals.

Retrograde Mars whispers to a person, “Don’t waste your energy on something simple, wait until the opportunity presents itself to do a great deed.” Serious internal pressure is created on oneself, because a significant amount of energy is retained inside the consciousness, which must come out in the form of action and determination.

Such people may want to go in for sports and immediately get the benefits, they want to do something and have the benefits immediately appear. Naturally, for a sane person, such a line of thought seems like building castles in the air. In reality, to achieve perfection you need to make a lot of simple efforts and take millions of small steps towards the goal.

Dependence on motivation

Retrograde Mars implies the absence of an autonomous internal source of motivation, and therefore requires a person to constantly search for “sweet spots” of motivational places and people. This behavior is caused by a person’s doubts on the way to his goals. Doubts are caused by the idealization of one’s deeds and the desire to be perfect without going through the path of pain and mistakes.

This also includes doubts about the rationality of actions. A person needs support from authoritative individuals, that his activities are correct and will find the support of society.

Pressure on yourself in friendship

Since Mars shows how comfortable a person is in equal relationships, then Mars retrograde gives doubts about equal relationships and, as a result, pressure on oneself. A person with retrograde Mars cannot clearly understand whether he needs certain friendships, so he maintains all connections. It is very exhausting and requires a lot of concentration. A person strives to be good to everyone, so as not to alienate those friends who will be close companions on the path of life.

Again there is a contradiction. In any case, those people with whom you are destined to form a warm friendly connection will always be there and provide support at the right time. Then why bother to maintain 90% of unnecessary and burdensome connections? The reason for this paradox lies again in uncertainty and ignorance in the field of friendship. Although a person wants to be more rational and careful, but in reality he looks prim and indiscriminate.

Uncertainty about your masculine qualities

Retrograde Mars sows doubts that a person has enough activity, masculinity, bravery, bravery, determination and similar qualities. In men, Mars retrograde is usually more pronounced than in women. Women lack confidence in their abilities and have doubts about themselves as a good housewife and keeper of the hearth.

Strengths and weaknesses of retrograde Mars

Do not forget that Mars retrograde is very strong position despite all the doubts and uncertainty. Mars retrograde in natal chart shows that a person, having passed the test of doubt, will develop remarkable determination.

Strong retrograde Mars gives additional energy and naturally additional doubts. There is a risk that a person will hide in his comfort zone from such power, but sooner or later it must manifest itself.

Weak retrograde Mars makes a person more phlegmatic and passive. Although there are doubts, there are not many situations in life in which these doubts can be overcome.

Affirmations for Mars Retrograde

• I'm a confident person
• I have enough strength to achieve my goals
• I am only friends with people who understand and support me
• I am rational and helpful
• I'm not afraid of mistakes in business, I love them because they make me stronger
• I don't need to prove my masculinity and thriftiness
• I won't act because I have to, I will act because I want to.

Mars will turn on June 26th and will remain in retromotion until August 26th. In fact, we will notice its reversal much earlier; at the very beginning of June, many situations and processes in our lives will begin to slow down, and before the turn around June 20th they will stop altogether. We can count on our vigorous activity and activity no earlier than mid-September; it is around September 15-20 that Mars will begin to pick up speed and we can hope for a return to the usual and comfortable rhythm of our lives.

I once heard in a private conversation the opinion that the retrograde motion of the planet means something bad. This is not entirely true, a lot depends on how you look at the resource that the Universe provides us at the moment reverse movement planets. Mars is the planet of our strong-willed, decisive actions, it is largely responsible for our ability to move forward, including in the literal sense, for our aggression and physical reactions, for our ability and ability to defend our own and fight, taking away someone else’s . In everyday terms, Mars is responsible for energy, for engaging us in work and motivating us to overcome obstacles. During the period when Mars is moving backwards, we cannot react to everything so quickly, the sources of motivation change, and when motivation changes, changes occur at the points of application of our efforts. It turns out that our system of incentives is reformatted and because of this the field of our activity changes. It is no secret that Mars by itself is not particularly effective; he needs a sensitive and understanding leader who will make the right choice for him; Venus does this. Mars, changing direction, thus changes the vector of application of our efforts, narrows the number of important things where we direct energy, introduces new focuses of attention into our lives, but we will be able to evaluate the changes only during the period Venus retrograde, so hold off on analyzing the period you’re living; you’ll only be able to understand what happened this summer and how your life has changed from now on in October-November, when Venus goes through its retrophase.

On retroMars, most often we do not have enough energy to do the usual number of things, some life situations disappear by themselves, since we simply do not have the strength to deal with them. So the first and far from the only resource of the retrograde movement of Mars is the natural cleansing of our life’s tasks; after periods of retroMars, we most often feel relief, since we managed to get rid of many non-resource situations and even people. It is completely natural and very beneficial for us that during the retrograde movement of Mars we leave only those situations that are energetically beneficial for us; they maintain a dynamic balance between incoming and outgoing energy. This is why partnerships fall apart on Mars retrograde. Due to the fact that they are so energy-consuming that we intuitively decide to get rid of this ballast. The same factor encourages us to look for resources in things that are familiar, familiar, so as not to take unnecessary risks by getting involved with something new, unknown. Because of such features, old connections return to our lives on retrograde Mars, in which there is still a resource, past situations where we have not yet learned everything, which means there is energy potential. Situations from the past can come to us in the period from June 1 to July 28, as well as from September 27 to October 1. Probably, at the end of October we will be able to finally put an end to the issues of the past, but for two summer months we will have to plunge into the experience that we have already lived through and learn new lessons from it. Lessons can be related to relationships, especially of a personal nature; the opposition between Mars and Venus in mid-June inclines me to this conclusion. Venus and Mars are connected this summer and autumn of one kind important topic, but in the life of each of us it will be played out in our own way, according to our horoscope and the position of the astrological houses. The conflict between them will begin in June, and we will see its completion in the first part of October. Both the beginning and the end of the relationship between the two planets, the libido is quite intense, which may indicate a long unfavorable period for personal relationships, the inharmonious realization of our personal affections, and in the light of the impending eclipses of July-August, they may indicate separations and protracted quarrels. Venus and Mars are also responsible for the topic of finances and the stress that they will experience leaves no doubt - for many, the next 4 months may be unprofitable, meet financial difficulties It will be much easier than in the first half of the year, while the long-term millionaire aspect was in effect. It is worth thinking about debts in advance, because it is because of obligations or promises made in the past that financial difficulties will manifest themselves in the present.

The factor of the retrograde movement of Mars indicates a weak function of conquest, but a very strong function of protection; during this period we tend to build more boundaries and take up arms in case of danger of being defeated, but there is not enough motivation to fight for other people’s resources during the period of retroMars, as well as energy for similar things. So disputes and conflicts, which are based on the desire to defeat the enemy and enrich themselves by appropriating his resources, are very risky in the summer months and are very likely to end in fiasco. Venus, like Jupiter, is related to justice, so I will warn you against unproductive legal proceedings until the beginning of October, it is better to resolve disputes peacefully; if this is not possible, then it is advisable to put the conflict on pause until the fall.

In this retrophase, Mars will have a period when it creates many risky situations for all of us, of an unexpected and possibly fateful nature. In the period from July 22 to August 13, in the eclipse corridor itself, Mars will make a rather long intense aspect with Uranus. Such aspects bring many unexpected and poignant moments to our lives. Mars and Uranus are associated with technology, so the main danger will come from electrical appliances and cars. Unfortunately, at the height of the summer holidays, this aspect can create various troubles when traveling by air, and the days of eclipses on July 27 and August 11 will be especially risky. Keep this in mind when planning your vacation. July 27, on the day lunar eclipse opposition between the strong Sun in Leo and Mars in Aquarius can lead to a fire hazard, be especially careful on this day.

And the last thing I want to note for my reader: the Aquarius - Leo axis, which will be active for the next 4 months, speaks of creativity and our freedom in self-expression. Aquarius more often speaks of free creativity in a group of like-minded people; Mars, meandering through Aquarius, will incline us to interact with other people, to unite our energies with the collective. Such integration will not be simple, yet Venus walks according to the sign of our individual creative activity, and where we like Venus more, the motive of the Universe is transparent: we need to be able to unite with people, make our and their goals common and protect these goals from external ones encroachments.

The full loop of transit Mars covers the period from October 17, 2009, when it entered 1st degree Leo, and ends on May 17, 2010. at the moment of the secondary (now direct) passage through the 20th degree of Leo. The retrograde period itself lasts from December 20 to March 10. From October 17 to December 20, a matrix of themes and problems of the transit planet is laid, and after the reversal on March 10 and until May 17, it will be the right time to receive feedback from the event flow and correct these themes.

So, what does the Mars retrograde period bring to us? First, let's remember what Mars is responsible for in every person's horoscope.

On a biological level Mars is associated with the head, nose, muscles, penis, blood.

At the event level: action, war, quarrel, accident, operation, fire, attack, murder, invasion, competition.

Roles of Mars: man, husband, adult son, lover, warrior, defender, hunter, competitor, rival, angry, aggressive, a dangerous person, killer, armed man, working with metal (blacksmith, metallurgist), strong, determined, athlete, stuntman, fireman, businessman, machinist.

States of Mars: action, aggressiveness, dedication, conflict, risk, passion, anger, audacity, courage, competition, jealousy, acute illness, physical effort, erection.

Zodiacal Leo sign, along which the planet moves determines the “field” of transit manifestation. The following topics will become relevant for us: self-realization, creativity, relationships with children, love, romantic relationships, entertainment and games, risk, etc..

Mars in Leo speak of a force that manifests itself in action, aimed at self-realization. Such a person “sparkles”, he is different high level energy, the need to realize Creative skills, brightness, demonstrativeness, generosity, the need to lead, he needs a public positive assessment of his achievements.

However planet in retrograde motion is forced to change its direction vector from the outer pole to the inner one. Therefore, in the first sentence of this article it is written that we are going on a journey with a candle, since during this period the bright light turns into an unsteady ray of fire, helping to illuminate the secret and hidden corners of our inner world. Mars turned inward transforms from a determined and courageous warrior into a master martial arts, subtly mastering energy, drawing strength from himself. In any case, this is the best version of the manifestation of retro-Mars.

Let's highlight the main possible options developments:

Slowing down external activity;

Difficulties in promoting your business;

Men show passivity in actions and hidden dissatisfaction in feelings, sexuality decreases;

Relationships associated with already familiar men, as well as with rivals and competitors;

Conflicts that occur on retro-Mars can lead to a complete break in relations;

Things that started on retro-Mars drag on for a very long time;

The same applies to breakdowns or, conversely, repairing broken things; also results for decades;

Increased injury, especially to the head, possible traumatic brain injuries (the most harmless is tooth extraction), we especially pay attention to the fact that they can happen during entertainment and games, including love ones;

Damage to electrical appliances;

We will be glad if you join this thread and add your observations….

Now let's talk about what we will encounter (or not encounter) on the path of retrograde Mars and what we can expect from it. Until the end of January, Mars will not form major aspects with other planets (not counting, of course, the fleeting aspects of the Moon, on which, by the way, you can try to give impetus to your activity), that is, in other words, it will be “in the mine.” In astrology, such a planet is characterized as a planet without support, an autonomous, isolated planet. Since Mars is in Leo, there will be a great desire to act, to express oneself, to create, but strength and resources will not be enough. Leo is a fiery sign, so it is possible that others will feel that they are burning from the inside in an impotent thirst for activity. Alternatively, there may be a sharp surge in activity, but the activity at this time is ill-considered, spontaneous, mainly under the influence of an attack positive mood(for men - desires to be a patron and benefactor). However, it is difficult to expect consistency during this period. A sharp rise is followed by an equally sharp decline, etc. etc. In general, everything is like in the film: “You are a good man, Andrei Yegorych. But not an eagle!

At the end of January, retro-Mars will form two significant aspects that are part of the Sun-Mars and Venus-Mars cycles. On January 27, the opposition Venus-retro-Mars will form, and we will “rewind the film” back and remember the events of June 21, 2009, when the formation of a new cycle of these personal planets took place at the Venus-Mars conjunction. The connection was in the 15th degree of Taurus and concerned the topic of manifestation and formalization of one’s values, needs, sympathies, sensuality in life in general and in the relationship between a man and a woman in particular. The current opposition falls at 11 degrees of Aquarius (Venus) and Leo (Mars) and represents the “full moon” of the cycle, in which the theme can be fully revealed in the conflict of these two planets. Of course, we look to see if the conjunction and/or opposition touches important points in the natal chart. If yes, then we analyze which house and planets are affected and how this can manifest itself in a given, specific person.

Two days later, on January 29, another opposition will form - the Sun-Mars at 10 degrees Aquarius and Leo, respectively. We need to go back to the day when the conjunction of these planets occurred, and it was December 5, 2008 (that is, a year ago) at 14 degrees of Sagittarius and see if this conjunction affected significant points in the horoscope. Then it was about new opportunities for self-realization, self-affirmation, expanding the field of activity and actively promoting views on life (for women and about relationships with men, of course). Now, at the opposition of the planets, we can see how the topic has unfolded.

Natalya Markina in the manual “Cycles of the Planets. Part 2" writes: “The opposition of Mars to the Sun promotes a clear perception of one’s actions and self-transformation, and if a person approaches awareness of them with a consciousness open to new experience, he will definitely find the opportunity to correct his shortcomings, get rid of reproaches towards those who were the cause of traumatic experiences in the past or to finally fulfill what was promised to them long ago.” Just like in all other cases, we analyze how much this transit affects our individual horoscope. It depends on how much and what colors your event flow will sparkle.

Next, on February 13, on the eve of Valentine's Day, Mercury will quickly make an opposition to retrograde Mars from 5 degrees Aquarius, sowing confusion and confusion in the topic of friendship and love. At this time, conflicts are possible due to intemperance and harshness in communication, so the “antidote” can be directness, honesty, frankness in combination with positive attitude. If you really want to sort things out, then it’s better to remember that the aspect is fleeting and in general…. "this too shall pass". After all, you can confess your love not only on February 14th...

On February 15, Mars sextile Saturn (4 degrees Libra) finally forms calmly and constructively. Men will be pleasantly surprised by their display of responsibility and reliability (although they will have to be pushed a little, after all, it is a sextile, not a trine). In general, at this time, matters related to jurisprudence and professional choice generally.

And at the end of Mars' retrograde, on March 7, it will seem like everything is finally falling into place. On the eve of the holiday, a quite pleasant trine will be formed between Venus in Aries (1 degree) and Mars in Leo, which may well result in a new surge of feelings with the former partner and the thawing of relationships after ascetic wandering in the labyrinth with a candle in hand.

Literature:

Markina N.Yu. Interpretation of astrological symbolism

There are one or more planets RETROGRADE.

From an astronomical point of view RETROGRADE Planet can be explained this way: when it seems to an observer from Earth that the Planet has begun to move backwards, in the opposite direction. In reality, of course, this does not happen - the Planets always move in the same direction, it’s just that at some point the speed of the Planet slows down and a feeling of reverse movement is created.

To make it clearer, RETRO movement of the Planets can be compared to two moving objects - a car and a bicycle. The speed of the car is, of course, greater than the speed of the cyclist. Therefore, when a car catches up and overtakes a cyclist, it seems to the passenger sitting in the car that the cyclist is moving backwards - although he is also driving, his speed is simply much less than the speed of the car. So it is with the Planets.

This RETRO movement of the Planets, recorded in the natal chart at the time of a person’s birth, will have a very great influence on him - on his psychology and on events during his life on the topic of this Planet.

RETROGRADE there are all Planets except the Sun and Moon.

For those who are not at all familiar with the symbols of Astrology, I will explain - in the natal chart RETROGRADE Planets are designated Latin letter R, which is next to the icon Planets.

So, what does a RETROGRADE Planet mean for those who have it in ?

1. Firstly, this means obsession person on the same sphere, on the same problem. For example, if in your card:

• , then you are fixated on the topic of relationships, on the topic of love, on the topic of money,
• means that you are fixated on,
• may become fixated on the topic of his authority, high social status, teaching activities, on the topic of travel.

2. Secondly, RETROGRADE Planet means the need for repeated repetitions the same situation (“repetition is the mother of learning”). For example:

• forces a person to study, study and study again. Repeat and repeat. A person with needs to explain the studied material several times. Such a person will not always hear you the first time. Therefore, do not be surprised if your child (or other to a loved one) you have to repeat everything 10 times. Most likely, it's in his map. You need to be much more patient with such people; you need to explain the same topic to them more than once.
• a person with will constantly come across the same types of partners - all alcoholics, all athletes, all brunettes with blue eyes, all much older or much younger. All relationships can develop according to the same scenario. How is that vicious circle, where you have been walking for many, many years.
• RETRO Neptune- in the worst case, repetition of the theme of alcoholism, mental disorders. At best, it is a repetition of the theme of psychology, spirituality, artistic and musical creativity(may go to study these professions several times, quit and return to these classes several times, constantly rewrite musical works, redraw your paintings, achieving the best result).

3. RETRO Planet in may indicate personal errors in past lives and mistakes of ancestors on the topic of Planets. Therefore, in this life they give obstacles in achieving anything. For example:

• mistakes in relationships with brothers and sisters give - it is difficult to establish a connection with them,
• mistakes in love give - therefore it is difficult to love and be loved, it is difficult to achieve harmony in relationships with partners,
• mistakes in the topic of career give - therefore in this life there will be obstacles in career ladder, obstacles with government agencies,
• if you made mistakes abroad, in teaching, in achieving high social status, then it will be in your map - therefore there will be difficulties in being a teacher, obstacles in achieving a high social status, difficulties in relations with foreigners,
• etc.

4. RETRO Planet its properties are similar to Ketu (the Setting Node). It means that Planet karmically overloaded- this means that you have already worked enough great experience on this topic Planets in their past incarnations. Therefore, in this life you need to “slow down” on this topic. We need to switch to other areas of life, do those things that are indicated by ordinary direct messages. Planets.

But, if you still become more active on the topic RETRO Planets, then you will have more obstacles and restrictions. There will be a certain stupor that will not allow you to move on. Think about it - if there is a certain wall in your life that you cannot “break through” - maybe you shouldn’t do it? Maybe you just RETRO Planet in a map that directly says: “you can’t be active here.” Then you just need to move away from this topic and come to terms with what is - then there is a chance to get what you want, only a little later. For example:

• if you - in past incarnations you were too active and assertive in achieving your goals - so now you need to pacify this activity,
• if you have, let go of the topic of partnerships, do not be active in love, in making money,
• if you have, you already have a lot of experience in your career, so don’t try to build it too actively,
• if you have RETRO Uranus— you had a lot of friends, you were a very freedom-loving and independent person, so the topic of friendship and freedom has already been worked out, switch to other areas.

5. On this topic RETRO Planets one must “go with the flow without oars.” If life situation something offers - take it, no - don’t persist. For example:

• if a person is offered to get acquainted with, to strike up a partnership, then “you have to take it,” if not, there is no need to persist in this matter,
• if a person is offered travel, it means “you have to take it”, I invite everyone with RETRO Jupiter on free trips ,
• if a person is offered a promotion up the career ladder, it means “you have to take it.” If they don’t offer it, don’t persist, don’t push it.

6. RETRO Planet does not mean a ban on manifestation in its area. It only says that according to the functions of this Planets a person's personal initiative must be reduced to zero. Must be "number two" in this area. For example:

• suggests that it is better not to take the initiative on the topic of love. Wait for someone to approach you and show interest. In partnerships (personal and business), it is better to give the initiative to your partner.
• - suggests waiting until you are asked to teach, when you are invited on some trip abroad when you are offered a promotion.

7. RETRO Planet does not say that this will never happen. It simply tells us that events Retro Planet will be late in our life - we need to be patient, wait and not relax ahead of time. For example:

• a person with may start studying late,
• it's too late to become a teacher, too late will start traveling ,
• RETRO Neptune will begin to master the profession of psychologist at a conscious age.

8. RETRO Planet tells us that the theme of this Planet needs let go, don’t bother, don’t demand everything from her at once - then the situation itself will take you where it needs to go.

• for example, you can’t bother with the topic - the situation itself will turn out as it should (if you behave correctly).

9. And RETRO Planet can be a positive foundation from our ancestors with the least amount of effort. For example:

• in a person with RETRO Uranium one of the ancestors could be an Astrologer, so he will receive invisible support from the family in this profession,
• in a person with RETRO Pluto there will be support for ancestors in all professions associated with risk to life.

All of the above factors need to be considered not only on the topic RETRO Planets, but also which House she controls. For example:

• if the Ruler of the 1st House is RETRO, then all of the above will relate to the topic of self-development and appearance,
• If RETROGRADE Ruler of the 2nd House - to the topic of money,
• RETROGRADE Ruler of the House - on the topic of contacts, studies, cars,
• if the Ruler of the 4th House RETRO, then this will be related to the theme of ancestors, place of residence,
• RETRO Ruler of the 5th House - will indicate the topic of children and creativity,
• if the Ruler of the 6th House RETRO— the topic of work, health,
• 7 Houses - the theme of marriage, courts,
• 8 At home - the theme of sex, risk, crises will be involved,
• 9 At home - the theme of travel, abroad, teaching,
• 10th House - career,
• 11 House - theme of friends,
• 12th House - the theme of spiritual search, solitude.

Important! I am often asked “What do Retrograde Nodes mean and how to act on them”? I draw your attention to the fact that Knots it's the other way around... The retro phase for the Nodes is their normal movement. Nodes show what evolutionary task has already been completed (according to South Node ) and what needs to be accomplished in this life (according to North Node). It's much worse if Direct nodes. If in your Horoscope Nodes in the Direct phase- this means that in past incarnations you did not fully complete your evolutionary task of South Node. Therefore, now you need to do TWO evolutionary tasks - both for the South and North Nodes.

In the comments below you can write which one Planet in your RETROGRADE and how did it play out in your life?

If you also have Retro Planets and you cannot yet interpret them yourself, but you want to find out specifically for yourself:

• what are the functions of Retro Planet You overspent in past incarnations,
• what issues did you pay too much attention to in past incarnations?
• in what areas of life do you experience restrictions?
• in which areas of life you should not show your initiative, should not be active,
• where complete external passivity is needed,
• what exactly Retro Planets mean to you
• how should you behave with Retro Planets, so as not to aggravate the situation.
• what illnesses and unpleasant situations in life will make you understand that you are not behaving correctly? Retro Planet.

then you can order this one Astrological consultation

Mars goes retrograde between April 17 and June 29. This phenomenon occurs once every two years. As the planet enters another cycle, we will talk about the impact of this phenomenon on our lives.

Earthlings sometimes observe the movement of large planets backwards. This astronomical phenomenon is due to at different speeds movements of celestial bodies. Thus, the movement in the opposite direction of Mars, Saturn, Venus, Mercury and other planets is optical illusion. This phenomenon is well known to fans of rail travel.

When a train passenger looks out the window at a train moving in the same direction, but at a lower speed, the illusion is created that the second train is traveling in the opposite direction. The same thing happens with planets. In fact, retrograde Mars does not change direction - it enters the most distant part of its orbit.

People are most affected by the three retrograde planets

Not all planets can have the greatest influence on us. The most powerful retrogrades are Mars, Mercury and Venus. At this time, people feel differently, they are more susceptible to the energy of the planet. Next, we will find out in more detail what changes can occur under the influence of retrograde Mars.

The energy of the male planet gives willpower, courage, aggression, passion and anger

Mars is a masculine planet and is responsible for making decisions in life. This celestial body is often associated with moving forward and achieving goals. Mars is also associated with carnal pleasures. During the planet's retrograde period, people need to make adjustments to specified areas. We must look back, analyze the situation and make the necessary changes. This will allow you to make further movements more rationally and thoughtfully.

During Mars retrograde, people should not plan new beginnings

IN specified period people will be exposed to circumstances and events that happened from February 17 to April 17. They will be responsible for the energy sector. But any new initiatives and undertakings are either doomed to failure or will face insurmountable obstacles. Therefore, postpone all new projects until the end of June. Astrologers warn that the retrograde period is not very good time for new cases, but it is perfect for revising and adjusting old ones. Therefore, if you have pending until better days projects, you can make changes and amendments to them.

For whom will this period be especially difficult?

People with assertive personalities may experience certain difficulties. Mars retrograde will exacerbate internal tension. The risk group includes Aries and Scorpios, born under the auspices of the planet. For Scorpios, the influence of Mars will be noticeable for some time after the retrograde period.

Who will be productive?

However, 15% of the planet's population is still incredibly lucky. If you were born during a period when Mars was retrograde (you can find this out from your astrological natal chart or personal horoscope), the coming time will become more productive for you. Over this period of time, these people receive feedback from the Universe. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on unusual phenomena, look for signs and clues. All this will allow you to further expand your capabilities in the future.

Movement from Sagittarius to Scorpio

Mars retrograde begins in the constellation Sagittarius and ends in the constellation Scorpio. The main point on the route will be Antares, the most bright Star, which can be seen from Earth. The red star of the first magnitude corresponds to the character of Mars itself. The star Antares is associated with power, control, reward and success.

Other Features

The beginning of the movement in the sign of Sagittarius promotes expanded experience, new perspectives, learning, travel, business, marketing and sales. Sometimes at this time people are prone to adventures. Before you venture out into adventure, make sure you are aligned with the energy of Mars.

On May 27, the planet enters the Constellation Scorpio. At this time, people comprehend the changes made and affirm new values. There is a high probability of sharing experience, but at the same time there is a danger of disclosing dark sides personality. The specific retrograde possibility acts like a reflection.

Conclusion

Around this time, Pluto in Capricorn begins retrograde. However, the influence of a distant planet, unlike Mars, will be almost unnoticeable. During this period, people should think about their future, about their own life position, about his path in the Universe. After June 29, Mars will continue its normal motion.
