Stages of retrograde Mars and related features

Serious problems are associated with the retrograde motion of Mars. activity slowdown, revision and change in the direction of the efforts made and the way energy is spent, the change in the stereotypes by which people act and behave. Not everyone can notice this, but internal changes still exist.

1) When Mars slows down the movement, a person is already less actively using his usual methods of work, activities, there is a kind of departure from the stereotype.

2) During the first parking of Mars (a static state before turning into a retrograde movement), a person may stop acting in the way he is used to.

3) During the retrograde period, activity and activity are reviewed, a person begins to remember his past experience and more and more begins to think that it is impossible or impossible to act in the old way, because this no longer brings the desired results. Little by little, a person begins to search for a new stereotype of behavior, after analyzing the old experience. It is already difficult to use it in daily activities.

4) After Mars goes straight, the use of a new stereotype is gradually mastered and the person begins to act differently.

From this it is clear that the period of Mars retrograde is very important, because it helps many of us find new ways and ways to act. This should especially be used by those who are stuck in everyday life, want to get new experience, but does not yet know how.

Every two years you will be given that chance. After all, every two years, after Mars has mastered the Zodiac, you can stop and look back, and if something doesn’t work out, fix it!

Although Mars is not particularly associated with psychology, some may notice the effect of retrograde on the general state. Among the possible psychological effects the following may be observed:

An increase in irritation, intolerance, dissatisfaction with oneself and other people, which interferes with the performance of everyday and work activities.

Loss of interest in certain things.

Decreased libido.

Memories of old grievances, a keen sense of revenge and punishment of offenders, even if quite a lot of time has passed.

Probable events on retro Mars

You are given a chance to review your activities, offer a fresh look at how you are used to acting.

Competitors, rivals or people who helped you develop, stimulated, motivated and did not allow you to be lazy, may appear from the past, forced you to act.

Conflicts between people are aggravated, old enemies are activated.

There may be a chance to try again what once did not work.

Braking in any business, especially those that require activity.

The emergence of various obstacles on the way to goals.

Leaving the cases that you plan to do, the intervention of third-party circumstances (for example, someone distracted, offered to switch to something else).

Breakdowns and failure of equipment and vehicles.

Travel delays due to accidents or other problems that may not be directly related to you, but will affect you indirectly (this also happens with retrograde / static Mercury, on retro Mars, delays or their causes are usually more serious).

Aggression can easily turn against the one who expresses it, so you should develop patience, endurance and just try not to enter into conflicts.

Retrograde Mars: what not to do and why?

• Start any new projects that are related to business or any other activity in which you will not act as an outside observer, but will act clearly. This is especially true of any long-term enterprises.

Why not? Such new activities may not be successful, or you will quickly be “blown away”: there will be no desire to continue or develop this business.

• Move to a new place of work, look for a new job.

Why not? Finding a new job can take a long time, and if you have already found a job before, you should not start it now, as it will be more difficult for you to get used to it. There will be many things that you are completely unfamiliar with. New experience and new skills will accumulate very slowly and hard.

• Organize and start competitions.

Why not? The organization of any competition can be difficult and not very successful, there can be a lot of difficulties. This, of course, refers to the beginning of the organization. If the competitions were prepared before that, then in the days of retro Mars it is good to review all possible scenarios once again, to supplement and correct something. The organization can let us down, or some unforeseen forces will intervene.

If some competitions or sporting events are held for a longer time, then their beginning should be planned with Mars in a direct position, and only then it does not matter whether Mars turns or not. For example, Mars went retrograde in 2018. June 26. In the same month, the FIFA World Cup began (beginning - June 14, 2018). It ended July 15 when Mars was in retrograde. The championship was very successful and was even recognized as the best in history.

Why not? During the repair process, a variety of problems can be clarified, misunderstandings are not ruled out, something will be done wrong, then it will have to be redone.

• To try to speed up something, to do it faster, to force things.

Why not? Your efforts may be in vain, you will regret taking action, or situations will simply get out of control.

• To go on a trip.

Why not? There is a high probability of delays on the way, various kinds of accidents, in the worst case scenario and the corresponding indicators in the birth chart - accidents with your participation, injuries, blood loss, surgical intervention.

• Start a war (of any kind, not necessarily in the truest sense of the word), take open action against someone, sue someone.

Why not? Whoever starts it is more likely to fail soon.

• Do operations that can be postponed (for example, plastic and others).

Why not? Mars is directly related to operations, surgery, sharp instruments and blood, so you should not do an operation: there is a high probability of various side effects, bleeding, and a long recovery.

Mars retrograde transit according to the signs of the zodiac

Retrograde Mars is quite predictable: it happens in each sign of the Zodiac in turn, affects two neighboring signs, sometimes skips one sign. In each of these signs, he can manifest himself in different ways. The Mars cycle begins in Aries and lasts approximately 13-15 years old. During this time, he manages to be retrograde 7 or 8 times.

♈ ARIES. In this sign, retrograde Mars will not be particularly pleased, because he does not like to return to the past. Although in this sign Mars is very determined and active, going in the opposite direction, he will especially seriously slow down all undertakings and will not allow things to develop normally. Transfer activity to unfinished business and projects. You will be more likely to complete them successfully or redo something. But the new one will not be very successful, which will cause a storm of irritation and aggression.

♉ TAURUS. When Mars is in Taurus , its activity sharply decreases in comparison with the previous period, there is more laziness and relaxation. With retrograde, this only intensifies, and any activity that is too active can bring losses, unforeseen expenses, loss of money and various kinds of costs that could not be taken into account. Very high probability of errors in the work. Don't rush and make quick decisions!

♊ GEMINI. Here Mars acts more through words, communication, negotiations, mental activity in general. The desire to urgently go somewhere, to talk to someone increases. However, haste can bring chaos, and some circumstances interfere with the need to agree on something with someone. With retrograde Mars in Gemini, no matter how people strive to be in time somewhere, they are still late, spoil relations with others and show excessive ardor and impatience. Therefore, it is so important not to rush now, not to try to jump into the last car of the train. Remember. that this is a very unfortunate time to rush.

It is clear that this time is ideal for completing or reviewing matters related to family and home, but not starting new ones.

♌ LION Getting into a fire sign again, Mars begins to simulate people to be more active and apply forces in the direction they need, however, turning into a retrograde movement, Mars slows down any new activity and slows it down, resulting in growing anger and aggression. To prevent this from happening, plan for this period only the continuation of the cases started in the past, but not the beginning of new ones. Boast only about what you already know and know how to do, what you are sure of. It is better not to visit crowded places, because at this time there is a high probability of various unrest, fires and accidents.

New acquaintances at this time (especially if the goal is a serious relationship, marriage) is not the best idea, because people can leave very quickly. Do not look for new relationships, but work with old ones. This will bring much more benefit, help you look at relationships from a different perspective. There is a possibility of conflicts due to the ardor and impulsiveness of Mars.

Retrograde Mars in the natal chart

According to statistics, people with retrograde Mars in the birth chart are not very common. Someone even calculated that for about 18-20 natal charts only one you will see Mars in a retrograde position, and in a static position - even less often. Here are some features associated with retro Mars in the horoscope:

• The main thing that can be said about these people is that it is very difficult for them to see and understand the adequate results of their actions. In fact, a person, of course, gets a result, but he always has the feeling that he can achieve more.

• Mentally, these people constantly return to what has already been completed, and think that they could do or do some work better.

• Also, with this position of Mars, a person can hesitate when he needs to act. This may also be due to a lack of strength and energy for action. Sometimes a person begins to act when there is no special need for this.

• People with Mars retrograde find it more difficult to act on their own, usually they are adjacent to someone else, work well in a team or in pairs. However, they are usually good at organizing others. They do not like to stick out and demonstrate their actions openly, they act as if behind the scenes, while doing their job well. For example, people with retrograde Mars are good to go to coaching: achieve your goals and set records through someone else.

• These people also get used to putting everything off until later, which is why at some point a fairly large amount of various unsolved problems accumulate around them.

• They also often confuse important issues with minor issues, failing to prioritize.

Karmic astrology suggests that a person with retrograde Mars in the natal chart has already gained experience in areas related to Mars, but this experience was not entirely correct: something was left to be done incorrectly and now he needs to do "bug fixes". Perhaps a person wasted his strength and energy thoughtlessly, without thinking about the consequences.

Special mention should be made of those who were born with static Mars. If a person was born in the first parking lot - when Mars turns from a direct position to retrograde, then not the most pleasant qualities of Mars - aggressiveness, impulsiveness, conflict, as well as increased sexuality can be noticeable in his character.

These qualities, most likely, are well known to him from past incarnations, but he has not yet understood how to act differently. Therefore, in this life there will be situations that will teach him do not provoke conflict and solve problems in a different way.

People with such Mars know how to act, because they already have experience, but, as a rule, they cannot show themselves to the fullest, or they show up with difficulty, even with considerable talents.

If a person is born near a reversal from retro to direct movement - in the second station of Mars, he, as a rule, always has good congenital data to action and activity. However, he will not act too assertively, he will save energy, he will look at everything and doubt. This person has already gone through a lot, has good skills, but he also has a very extensive experience of failures.

People of the "second station of Mars" learn quickly, they seem to remember that experience which they have already gone through. They excel in Martian professions (athletes, surgeons, etc.) or may use Martian activities as hobbies (eg playing sports for themselves, doing things with their hands - hand made areas).

Advice for people who have retrograde Mars in their birth chart

1) You must be very careful monitor the health, as there may be difficulties with the distribution of energy. You can work very long and hard, underestimating your capabilities. Restoration of forces goes more slowly, than it would be desirable.

2) Acting actively and assertively, it is worth evaluating the reaction of the outside world: if the people around you react negatively to your actions, it is better to stop them, as you will spend too much energy wasted and you will regret it later.

3) Sports activities will help you become more energetic, it is worth maintaining the ability to be in shape at any time. If you are not a professional athlete, sports should not be too strenuous, because then you will not have more energy.

4) Do not fuss too much, and if you are running out of strength, you should not load yourself with a lot of things: you will quickly spend the entire charge of energy and you can still feel increased fatigue. Rest at the right time will help save and properly expend energy and accumulate energy for further action.

5) Don’t worry if some things don’t work out for you right away: it’s worth trying to start over and on the second round everything may turn out to be much more successful!

Retrograde Mars in a man's horoscope, especially if it is not damaged by pests, gives a man non-conflict and non-aggression. This person keeps all irritations from the outside world to himself, but this is not always good, because unsplashed aggression can destroy a person from the inside.

Men with retro Mars are often quite indecisive. It is more difficult for them to take action actively and assertively, they many different doubts and sometimes they don't even try to act where it's needed, says the site's astrologer. It is best to act not for show, not explicitly, not to advertise your actions, then there will be more confidence.

Mars retrograde periods 2020-2029

From September 10 to November 13, 2020 in the sign of Aries Mars goes into retrograde movement every 22 months and is in the retrograde phase for approximately 80 days. During this period, all processes slow down, activity drops, and there may not be enough strength and energy to achieve the goals set. Attempts to force things or increase pressure do not work or worsen the situation. If you do not stop, then something akin to a broken twisted spring or an explosion of a steam boiler can happen.

Even things that seem to have started successfully are slowed down, various obstacles arise that prevent you from doing the main thing. Problems can grow like a snowball, forcing a person to do something other than what he has planned. All this irritates a person, he begins to rush about, look for a way out, or in annoyance he quits what he started, loses interest in the matter.

Enemies or competitors may become active. In the days retrograde Mars care should be taken in handling equipment, weapons, moving mechanisms. Breakdowns and equipment failures occur more often. If the equipment was assembled or repaired during the period of retrograde Mars, later hidden defects are very often revealed, arising from the negligence or negligence of the performers.

At this time, it is not recommended to go on a trip, as traffic may be delayed for various reasons and the likelihood of road accidents increases, which are accompanied by injuries, blood loss, and the need for surgical intervention. These days, composure, endurance and patience are required from people, any aggression can turn against the one who sends it. Lawsuits and battles that started during the period retrograde Mars, will be lost.

At retrograde motion of Mars people often complain that their frontal sinuses hurt and their head aches, people complain about a lack of energy, which is a consequence of the concentration of the energy of Mars. Instead of engaging in open conflicts, they resort to more subtle means of manipulating people. At the same time, energy that does not find an outlet outside can become destructive. This is indeed a clear example of practical astrology, and during this period it is necessary to slow down and take a break.

As in the case Mercury retrograde , Mars retrograde makes it possible to return to unfinished, once abandoned cases, the approach to which should now be different.

Retrograde Mars has a stronger effect on people in whom Mars has a strong status in the natal chart, is near Ascendant or Meridian or in the signs of Aries, Scorpio or Capricorn. And also for those who have Mars as Rex aspectarius.

Not recommended for Mars retrograde:
- start a new business, a new project, a new business, long-term enterprises;
- take the initiative, apply for a job or change it;
- go on a trip;
- hold competitions;
- buy or repair a car, any mechanisms or household appliances;

Retrograde Mars in the natal chart

Retrograde Mars in the natal chart indicates that in a past life there was a poor adaptation, a person spent energy badly and incorrectly. In this life, the reaction to an external stimulus is delayed due to internal uncertainty and lack of opportunities or adverse circumstances.

Mars retrograde indicates that the impulses to action are unconsciously connected with any elements of the subconscious, thereby creating unconscious motives that guide a person with such Mars. Often the desires of the individual and his manifestations can be restrained by internal uncertainty in their strengths and capabilities, or by some other circumstances.

Often this position of Mars also affects the sexual potential, creating a certain kind of neurosis or mental complexes. But on the same basis, a certain experience of the sublimation of will and desires is also possible, which is clearly demonstrated by the possibilities of yoga. If a Mars retrograde used properly, then valuable lessons can be learned regarding the cultivation of will and patience, as well as the organization and implementation of creative ideas and their actual achievement.

Retrograde Mars requires from his wards caution and prudence in their conclusions and decisions, thoughtfulness of actions, confidence in the success of the case and the mandatory completion of all their affairs. Negative emotional energy should always be contained. This means that all the will and energy that exists must be directed only to the right track so that they benefit not only themselves, but also those around them.

Time to think about steps, actions, plans and goals.We think, analyze, draw conclusions, but so far we are not actively acting!

Mars retrograde phenomenon

The phenomenon of Mars retrograde is quite rare and therefore important for us. It occurs every two years and two months, with a duration of 80 days. At this time, this planet is located as close as possible to the Earth and as far as possible from the Sun, which weakens the influence of sunlight on this planet.

In astrological terms, Mars does not receive support and light from the Sun during this period. At this time, Mars is opposite the Sun, i.e. in opposition to him.

Before starting a retrograde (reverse) movement, any planet first slows down its course, stops, and then begins its movement in the opposite direction (retro period). After going back a certain number of degrees, the planet stops again and then again begins its usual direct movement.

* In fact, astronomically a planet cannot change its trajectory. We see its reverse course during this period, due to the peculiarities of the movement of the planets in their orbits around the Sun.

Stationary periods of Mars

Periods of stopping Mars (stationarity) are a special time when any events seem to freeze. In 2018, this is from June 26,27,28 and August 27,28,29.

It is extremely important these days not to start any important business, as they will not have the opportunity to continue. There is a high probability these days of traffic accidents, malfunctions with cars, large mechanisms, as well as active hostilities and terrorist attacks.

06/27/2018 at 00:04:22 Mars begins its retrograde motion (at 9 degrees 8 minutes of Aquarius) and will last until 08/27/2018. until 17:04:40 (Mars will stop at 28 degrees 37 minutes Capricorn), turn around and begin its usual direct movement).

Effects of retrograde Mars on humans

How does this period of Mars retrograde affect us earthlings? What gives us this period?

Mars- this is the planet with the help of which we show our activity, initiative, impulsiveness, determination.

Mars stimulates us to act and make decisions, to commit acts, etc.

* Manifestations of Martian energy depends on the location of Mars in the horoscope. Therefore, the methods of decision-making, and the ability to act, and the ability to control one's reactions and instincts, and the degree of conflict, irritability are different for everyone.

During the period of retrograde, when Mars is in a conflicting opposition position to the Sun, it loses, as I already wrote, sunlight and energy.

Without light and energetic support, it is difficult for Mars, the planet of action and activity, to express itself adequately.

People become sharper, rude, irritable, quick-tempered, angry, jealous, can fall into a state of blind anger and passion. The accumulated internal tension becomes difficult to control and contain, so the level of conflict increases. During this period, the number of erroneous actions and deeds, wrong decisions, which after the retro period of Mars may be regretted, increases.

There may be an inadequate need at all costs defeat another, prove one's own, enter into an argument with him, into a quarrel, into single combat, into a fight, challenge him to a duel, engage in competition and competitive struggle, overcome, destroy an obstacle that stands in the way, using "everything at hand"..

Mars (action) with the Sun (consciousness, mind) is in conflict, Mars acts unconsciously, "in the dark" and, as a result, we commit unreasonable actions, deeds, life mistakes.

Aggression and destructive energy of Mars during this period is directed not outside (as in the period of direct movement), but inside, i.e. to myself. Therefore, the one who started a war, conflict, scandal, arranges personal showdowns, files a lawsuit, and so on, loses. During this period, Mars, like a revolver, deployed with the muzzle on itself!

* An example is the fighting in Ukraine. Having started them, during the period of retrograde Mars, the Ukrainian authorities did not achieve what they wanted, and as a result of the war, many people died, the economy was destroyed, the state was on the verge of collapse.

It is better to focus on yourself, on your own reactions that provoke quarrels, conflicts, on your stereotypes that interfere in life, on the usual ways to achieve goals. How effective are they?

There comes a period of active work on yourself.

It is good to reconsider and rethink the ways of one's actions, manifestations of will and expression of one's physical activity.

It is good to think about under what circumstances, in what form, when and why impatience, irritability, hostility, anger, impulsiveness, militancy, haste are manifested .. How these manifestations affect personal and social life ..

The period of the backward movement of Mars provides an opportunity to rethink and find new ways to manifest yourself:

In conflict situations, disputes, quarrels;

In situations of choice, when making important decisions, implementing their ideas, plans;

In competition and competition,

In situations that require the manifestation of will, determination, independent action, self-confidence, the ability to take risks and act actively.

Those. to think about how I usually act, what it leads to, and what habitual reactions and manifestations I need to change in order to have the desired result.. During this period, it is easier for us to understand this.

We think, we analyze, we draw conclusions!

When the backward movement of Mars ends, we, perhaps unconsciously, can find new, more effective ways to solve our plans and ideas, apply new tactics to achieve the goal, and express ourselves in a new way in society and in personal relationships. And sometimes these changes can provoke changes in the quality of life.

Features of activity during retrograde Mars.
What to do well and what is not recommended:

1. Bad start off a new business project, or any activity that requires active action and pressure, register a company. It’s good to put things in order in old cases, finish and tighten up.tailsand solve current problems.

Started during this period new projects designed for the future will not bring the expected result. Things slow down at this time, the implementation of new ideas leads to difficulties in execution and disruption of plans. Things started during this period are suspended, and sometimes they stand up tightly (it seems that forever).

Retrograde Mars destroys everything that should move forward and develop.

Now the ability to slow down and finish what has already been started will bring more returns than hasty action ahead.

It is not worth it during this period to invest great efforts in achieving what you would like to see durable. .

Do not overwork, otherwise you risk wasting a lot of energy in vain.

2. It’s bad to get a job at this time new place of work, but you can return to your previous job.

3. It is not recommended to start construction or repair. If you still started, keep in mind that after a while, when Mars starts its direct movement again, you most likely want to redo something. You may not like the result. During this period, it is good to return to what you once started, but did not finish, and it is desirable to complete this “something” before Mars turns into a direct movement (in 2018 - until August 27).

4. Try to avoid any interference with your body. It is extremely unfavorable to do any planned operations (including cosmetic ones). There is a huge risk that you will have to go through another operation that will eliminate the consequences of the first one. It is necessary to weigh the pros and cons, going "under the knife." This does not apply to urgent transactions. This can be beneficial if you repeatedly operate on the same part of the body or organ.

5. During the retrograde movement of Mars, it is very bad to provoke scandals, conflicts, start quarrels, showdowns, start hostilities, file a lawsuit. The one who starts a confrontation, the attacker, is doomed to defeat, loss, even if the truth is on his side.

Easy to say but can be hard to do..

People in the period of retrograde Mars become very quick-tempered, irritable. In a conflict dialogue, it is difficult for us to be tactful and diplomatic, we want to "embed" the whole truth and "blow out" the raging inner indignation about someone or something, not embarrassed in expressions and visual "special effects". Again, I repeat, consciousness at this time "does not support" our actions, so we tend to act first, and think later ..

So, try to "extinguish" conflicts in the bud, and in no case do not enter into disputes and disputes of other people, so as not to remain guilty and punished for others.

Try not to make scandals in your home, as this threatens with serious problems, up to divorce and breakup.

Don't blame others for your problems. It is possible that you simply do not notice your own mistakes, or do not want to notice. As soon as you boldly admit this to yourself, the situation will improve by itself.

Proverb: "Measure 7 times and cut 1 time "may be the motto of the period of the retrograde movement of Mars. Analyze your own actions for errors.

6. It is not recommended at this time for men to start new courtship, and for women to start new romances, if you are counting on a long-term relationship. No matter how promising they are, they are unlikely to be promising. As soon as Mars begins its direct course again, your love affair will dissipate. The partner who came during the period of the backward movement of Mars, the planet of passion and sexuality, will disappear, or you yourself will not want to continue the relationship with him (her). The retro-Mars period is a time of brief relationships, keep this in mind and don't let your new object of passion break your heart and ruin your life. New relationships started at this time are doomed to parting.

7. This time gives us the opportunity to once again try to achieve what previously seemed inaccessible, to complete unresolved conflict situations. During the period of retrograde Mars, people may appear in our lives who once stimulated our activity. Activity, competed, competed, conflicted with us, did not let us relax.

For many women during this period, “former” ones appear on the horizon, those with whom they once tried to build a relationship. During the period while Mars is moving backwards, their renewal is possible, but most likely in order to "finally dot the i" and complete unfinished situations. When Mars begins its direct course, there is a high probability that the relationship will exhaust itself.

8. Also at this time, it is necessary to observe increased personal security., since even a harmless-looking person (usually a man) can cause you serious health problems.

9. It’s bad to start during this period first sexual contacts. The experience gained can harm you.

10. At this time, you need to beware of hot spots, nightclubs, try not to succumb to aggressive provocations from the outside. During the retrograde period of Mars, accidents, fires, power conflicts, fights and provocations can become more frequent.

11. Be mindful of your actions. The probability of bruises, fractures, cuts, inflammatory processes increases.

12. Don't be a hero! There is a serious danger of foolishly hurting yourself.

13. It is not recommended to buy any cars, means of production, household appliances, computer equipment, tools, weapons, protective equipment, i.e. any mechanisms, everything related to iron (Mars). During this period, this kind of product may turn out to be defective, or later it will turn out to be unnecessary, unsuitable, or you just don’t like it. The mechanisms listed above acquired during this period can often break down and fail, or cause some kind of physical harm.

But selling used, getting rid of unnecessary hardware is good.

14. Any technique at this time "reacts badly" to mistreatment with it. Therefore, everything related to urgent repair, replacement, cleaning, and prevention of equipment and mechanisms is relevant.

15. The risk of accidents increases many times! This is due to what I wrote above (various mechanisms may fail), and the fact that during this period we tend to act thoughtlessly. (Consciousness (sun) in conflict with actions (mars)).

17. It is highly undesirable to use firearms and edged weapons during this period.

18. The retro-Mars period is unfavorable for the organization, holding of sports competitions, championships and participation in them. Physical strength, endurance and reaction rate at this time are small. High probability at this time of injuries, accidents, mistakes in actions.

In martial arts during this period, it is better to adhere to defensive tactics, there are more chances to win the fight.

19. It is good during this period to resume previously abandoned sports. Do yoga, meditation.

Take care of your health!

Accumulate strength in yourself and do not try to act during this period. Rest more, take breaks more often.

Earlier, we have already talked about the period of retrograde Mercury.

Let me remind you what retrograde planets are.

retrograde- a return motion, in which the planets seem to move backward in relation to other planets observed from the Earth and occupying different positions in the zodiac. Retrograde is considered a weakness of the planets.

Influence of retrograde

The influence of a planet does not change in the case of its retrograde, but the individual response to its influence becomes different - namely, the way of expressing its special qualities and characteristics is not as good as in its direct movement. It is believed that the influence of benefic planets is weakened by their retrograde movement, since this movement is in contradiction and disharmony with the general movement in the Zodiac. In addition, the influence of malefic planets in retrograde motion increases.

• Mars is retrograde for 80 days and is stationary for about 2-3 days before and after the retrograde motion.
• Mars is known as the "evil" planet. "Evil" is a substitute word for planetary vibrations. all planets are good in themselves, but human reactions to their influences may be different.
• Mars governs energy, strength, action, muscular effort, aggression, enterprise, initiative, contentment, desire, feelings, courage.
• Mars governs the head, face and musculature. It denotes strength and activity.
• Mars also governs will, work, conquest and desire, construction and destruction.
• Mars gives access to physical and sexual energies. It governs the physical body, health and energy directed outwards. Shows violence and destructiveness.
• The sphere of activity that Mars rules is manufacturing, construction, military affairs. Represents agents, contractors, building services.
• Mars affects mainly the change in physical conditions. His job is to energize that side. Nature, which at present seems to us dark and unexplored. His work on man is to incite to action, so that as a result he can acquire the necessary knowledge.
• Mars goes retrograde once every two years and two months, which makes its retrograde quite an important event because Mars goes retrograde less often than other planets. At this time, we begin to master new levels of past experience, less dependent on any outside interference.

Influence of the retrograde period of Mars

In a psychological sense, this means that we get the opportunity to free ourselves from the flow of social influences and stereotypes, from the habitual reactions that govern our lives, and to reconsider the principles of our activity and methods of action. At this time, our approach to conflict resolution, our hostility, anger, self-confidence, risk-taking, ways of showing will and physical activity require rethinking and new approaches. In sports and military affairs at this time, defensive tactics bring success. During the retrograde period, Mars enters into opposition with the Sun - this is the phase of the symbolic full moon in the Sun-Mars cycle, the exact aspect will be on April 8, 2014. The sun - "consciousness, individuality" and Mars - "activity, dynamics", at this time are separated by poles in our consciousness. This enables us to become aware of which of our habitual responses and modes of personal fulfillment must be revised in order to remain adequate and effective. The situations that arise during the retro-Mars period reveal unresolved conflicts, unconstructive reactions, accumulated irritation and dead-end approaches in our desire to succeed or, on the contrary, in our inability to do something. The energy field of the sign of Libra, in which Mars will be until July 26, forces you to look for supporters, make contacts in order to realize what you want. Therefore, it is worth paying more attention to our relationships with other people. At this time, we are more dependent on the environment, on the ability to coordinate our actions and agree, than on personal initiative and activity. The emerging situations force us to take indirect actions, to search for mediators, to the need to coordinate decisions, to act jointly or through someone. We have to balance on the fine line between the desired and the possible, and remember that a compromise is an agreement in which neither side receives 100%, but both make mutual concessions. During the period of retrograde Mars, people from the past can make themselves felt in our lives: rivals, competitors, those who stimulated our activity and did not let us relax. This time gives us the opportunity to once again try to achieve goals that were previously unattainable. However, don't put a lot of effort into achieving what you would like to see lasting on the back of Mars. Our actions at this time do not have a solid foundation, and the same applies to their result. This period will pass under the sign of changes in partnership, in relations, including international relations. In April and May, disagreement will manifest itself, it will contribute to the release of discontent that had previously accumulated, and aggressiveness, when natures, accustomed to solving problems with pressure, will not be given what they want. Therefore, in the destructive version, transformation will give way to destruction. This long stay of Mars in Libra can have an important impact on the scope of our relationships. Tau-square Jupiter-Pluto-Uranus is associated with the theme of political and plutocratic power and economic processes. This is an indicator of the political and economic crisis and the demand for reforms, this is the time when destructive processes, abuses, thoughtlessness and connivance in politics and the economy reach a peak and result in protests and revolutionary movements in society, and in the economic sphere into serious problems, in the form of collapses of individual companies, banks, instability on currency and stock exchanges. This overdue need and the need to be free from oppression and dictatorship, launches the processes of change, which are accompanied by radicalism and sharp confrontations. This is a time of polarization and tough conflicts, including power ones. New forms of psychic and informational terror may appear. Since there is a fierce struggle both for power and against power, and the cardinality of energies does not contribute to the flexibility of positions. The participation of Mars in these planetary "showdowns" during the "season of eclipse" makes this time - a period of fierce struggle and poses a tough need to solve key problems. After the backward movement of Mars ends, we unconsciously choose a new tactic of action, find new, perhaps more effective ways to implement our plans, sometimes these changes are so massive that there is a need and need for life changes.

Features of activity during the retro-Mars period or what not to do

The retrograde of Mars is associated with an aggravation of internal tension, on the one hand, and a decrease in our energy, on the other. The natural flow of energy at this time is directed to revision and rethinking, to internal activity, and not to external goals and results. Trying to make a breakthrough in business at this time or to implement some kind of blitz projects means to swim against the current on a poorly controlled ship. That is why the new projects launched during this period, designed for the future, will not bring the expected result. At this time, things require additional efforts in order to simply maintain the status quo, and there is simply not enough strength for new enterprises and the struggle for a place in the sun. Things slow down at this time, the implementation of new ideas leads to difficulties in execution and disruption of plans. Now the ability to slow down and refine what has already been started will bring b about more return than the desire to press on the "gas" and act ahead. After all, it is not only our personal approaches and reactions that are being changed and revised, but similar processes are taking place in parallel in the economy, in legislation, and in public priorities. The overall entrepreneurial activity is declining as a result of objective prerequisites and unstable conditions. Starting a new business at this time is building a castle in the sand. Moreover, astrological practice has shown an interesting pattern: one who, during the period of Mars retrograde, starts wars, shows aggression or takes active actions, such as: arranges personal showdowns, files a lawsuit, initiates a confrontation, turns out to be a loser, even if his case " right and holy." This is a period of obstacles and restrictions in free initiative, new business, personal growth, clamps and restrictions of the will. Do not swim against the current, move by inertia, do not show excessive initiative - there will be opposition to any action, so do not get ahead of events, do not break the law, avoid conflicts, especially litigation, control emotions. Energy should be directed not outward, but inward. This period has a bad effect on sports and military affairs. Conflicts with the security forces are dangerous for the side that initiated this conflict. Whoever shoots first, loses.

Happy Feng Shui!

Mars goes retrograde every two years for about 55 to 80 days. The period of retrograde (reverse) movement of Mars in 2018 from July 26 to August 29. Retrograde Mars in 2018 makes a loop in the signs of the Zodiac Aquarius and Capricorn, the first point of stationarity of the planet at 9 degrees of Aquarius, the second point of stationarity at 28 degrees of Capricorn.

The period of retrograde means that Mars, from the point of view of an observer on Earth, moves backwards in the Zodiac. When viewed from the Earth and observing the planets against the background of stars, as a rule, their movement occurs in one direction. Sometimes planets slow down their movement, stop and then move in the opposite (retrograde) direction.

The beginning of the cycle of the reverse motion of Mars occurs against the backdrop of the opposition of the slow planets Jupiter and Neptune, which form a square with Saturn. The planet's first stationary point at 9º Aquarius forms a tense aspect with Jupiter in Scorpio. The second point of stationarity at 28º Capricorn squares Uranus. This indicates disharmony of planetary relationships. Beware of scandals and intrigues of ill-wishers. Injuries due to negligence, unreasonable anxiety and fears are possible. How you will react to astrological influences largely depends on the qualities of your character.

How does Mars retrograde affect the signs of the zodiac?

Mars retrograde affects people of the signs Aries and Scorpio the most, since in astrology these zodiac signs are ruled by Mars. As a rule, Aries and Scorpios become less aggressive, less assertive and more patient, they become passive and tend to sit back. In order to start operating in their usual manner again, they need to wait until Mars goes into direct motion again, then the energy of this planet will help them move forward.

People of those zodiac signs that are not ruled by Mars may feel differently. Sometimes they become impatient, impulsive, eager to do too much and all at once, but this is an unwise course of action.

Since the retro loop of Mars is in Aquarius and Capricorn, representatives of these signs are also subject to the influence of the planet. At this time, some tend to be irritable. Under the influence of emotions and disappointments, many make ineffective decisions or act thoughtlessly, expressing anger instead of building a constructive dialogue and being more tolerant.
