Mars is now going through a relatively rare retrograde cycle. Mars is the planet of action who likes nothing more than to blaze a trail into the future. However, around about once every two years he appears to retrace his steps. Read on to find out where he’s going backwards in your chart and what that might mean to you and your sign.
For you, Mars is going backwards in your 11th House – this affects your friends and the groups you belong to. Just before the retrograde started, if you’ve been uncharacteristically upfront with your mates, now you know why. Mars was going forwards in this part of your chart and imbuing it with his firepower. Mars is the planet of agression – if you’ve found it harder than usual to keep your cool in group situations, this is also why. Try not to let it become a habit, and if you need to take back some of your anger, the retrograde period might just allow it. What’s more, Mars has hopefully also fired you up with the energy and urge to go out and meet new people during this transit through this part of your chart – which has to be a good thing. Now, as he stalls in your 11th House, it focuses this hot Mars energy to connect with a wider group. Don’t be put off by the idea of the “retrograde” – if you’re in the mood to expand your circle, go for it. Mars is a powerful energy and right now he’s pushing his power into the part of your chart govering the groups you belong to. This part of the chart is also about hopes and dreams. If you know you’ve let yourself down by not putting enough energy into make your dreams come true, use the linger-longer Mars energy now to reinvest some firepower into The Thing You Wish For.
