I have noticed one big thing with Mars Retrogrades - they take all the energy away! Feeling more sluggish and tired MENTALLY, PHYSICALLY and EMOTIONALLY. The energies have been quite stressful and intense and tiring already before Mars Retrograde. But have gone more intense. That intense that I have been ill couple of times already within short time, which usually doesn't happen. I can sense the anger and frustration levels are rising quite fast and the ego is getting big hits. Such a boiling mess inside! I also noticed that lots of people are arguing even more during this time then usually. Do you feel this way too, let me know comments below!
Mars went to Retrograde in Leo from 6th of December 2024 till 6th of January 2025 when the Mars is retrograding into the watery sign of Cancer and is staying there till 23rd of February 2025. SIGH ... 3 months of explosive energies to deal with! Now depending on your Rising sign, you might experience differently. I get the feeling, that mostly this energy is going to get felt the most by the people who have strong Leo or Cancer placements! Good luck for us!
None of the Retrograde transits are easy to handle, some feel it more, and not all Retrogrades are really affecting you. When Mars in Leo went to Retrograde I did feel the ego and pride issues. The need to roar at every small thing, even if other times you don't feel this way. Since Leo is related with creativity - designing posters and labels etc, I had to redo them several times, till I finally got the desired look. I do feel at the moment I have that "artist block". But I know it is temporary.
Now soon we will see the Mars is going into Cancer, which I feel lots of negative emotions are going to brought into the surface. Especially with the family, home or mother. Everything in the past that hasn't been solved, will come into surface, might be in a explosive way. And in 13-15th January there will be also a Full Moon in Cancer, which can make people even more emotional, angry and highly sensitive. Just be aware of that super intense energy!
SO HOW TO HANDLE THE MARS RETROGRADE ENERGY
What has worked for me is that I like to go for walks or jogging, especially when it is sunny outside. Physical movement helps me to release the all negativity and hard energies I have been carrying, its like shaking them off. It also activates new fresh energies in me, which means that the old stagnant energy has no value or place in me, so it must go! Not to forget showering, which is very strong and powerful way to clean your energy. I also say affirmation for the water to cleanse me mentally, emotionally and physically.
Now if possible I try to be more by myself during these times, cause energies are quite tense and people tend to argue and fight more - quite often there will be unnecessary conflicts!
Just be physically more active, especially in nature, complete old projects instead of starting new ones and nurture your emotional body more!
Sending to you many blessings and strength on this time
