This blog explores the current Mars retrograde period that began on November 15th and lasts until January 31st 2008.
Mars is the planet of energy, action and war. It's the planet of desire and initiative. It's the fighter. Yesterday something happened to our warrior planet however. He went into hibernation.
Personally, this will be tough for me to deal with. I can't afford to fall asleep on the job. Now, more than ever, I need my fight. But maybe this Mars retrograde is meant to teach me when to allow others to fight my battles with me. Mars retrograde can teach us it's ok to ask for backup.
In Cancer, Mars retrograde will cause some significant family and emotional drama. If you've got a personal planet in the early degrees of Cancer, Capricorn, Aries or Libra you'll feel this most. It could feel as though all your old family karma is coming back to haunt you.
This Mars retrograde period will force us to conserve our energy and plan a little more. We need to look before we leap for the next few weeks. Rushing forward in action will only prove to be our downfall. Be brave, but be smart about it.
Some of us could feel as if we’ve been drained emotionally and physically. If this is the case, take extra time to care for yourself so that you are ready for the amazing push that’s promised in February. Trust me, it’ll be dynamite!
