The most potent retrograde the sky delivers - the retrograde of Mars - begins on December 6th at 3:33 p.m. Pacific Time. From now until February 23rd, the Planet of Drive and Ambition will request us to take a long and deep dive into the rituals and spiritual practices that heal our masculine energy, transforming the way we chase our goals. Below is what this retrograde means for you, according to your Rising sign.
Aries: You might notice boredom, anger, (and maybe even exes) return for a visit. This is the universe’s way of saying “It’s time to look for new avenues of fun, romance, and self-expression.”
Taurus: Have you healed yourself? This retrograde inspires you to go down memory lane so you can heal any childhood preconditioning. In the end, you’ll find true liberation!
Gemini: Your words are your spells! But your usual eloquent and witchy formula might no longer work. It’s time to go within and find a formula that lights you up inside.
Cancer: What is most valuable to you? Your old priorities are no longer important, so allow for this retrograde to show you what you must now invest your money, love, and energy in.
Leo: You might feel tired at times, so try to move slowly and give yourself time to rethink the way you express anger, ambition, and sexual drive.
Virgo: What are your deepest fears? This retrograde will expose them so you can become aware of them. Only then, will you be able to shatter them!
Libra: Dreams without being chased become pure fantasies! If the tribe you’re surrounding yourself with holds you back from following your bliss, expect them to fall away.
Scorpio: You might be tempted to compete within your industry, which may distract you from chasing your authentic dreams. Focus on chasing your (and not your competition’s) dreams.
Sagittarius: Naturally expansive, you have too many desires swirling in your mind. This retrograde teaches you how to pause so you can edit that long list of goals.
Capricorn: Whether single or taken, you might crave a deeper sense of intimacy—but this time, you must be very specific about what you want in order to get it!
Aquarius: If you’ve repressed your anger towards someone, this retrograde will expose it so you can, once and for all, clear the air when the time is right.
Pisces: The setbacks you experience in your projects are opportunities to rekindle the way you give birth to them. Focus on prioritizing quality over quantity.
