I was writing about Mars retrograde today in the newsletter.

Here’s an excerpt:

A Mars retrograde carries many of the same keywords as a Mercury retrograde: review, redo, renew.

This doesn’t mean that you can’t launch something or move forward, but you’ll be doing it a little differently. You may take longer to reflect. There may be delays. THIS IS A LIFE REVIEW TRANSIT.

You will have to slow down and take stock. This is unavoidable. Folks who rely on endless activity (it’s a defense!) to keep busy and avoid feelings? This transit may be the most challenging for them.

Mars doesn’t like self-reflection. Mars like action! Mars craves the fight, craves challenge. Mars retrograde is going to mute this. Mars retrograde will turn it inwards. Where are you going? Where have you been? What do you want? This Mars retrograde will be more about FEELING than doing doing doing. 

Still, my clients are asking me:
Aliza, will I get sick? Will I get depressed?

My answer is no, not necessarily. But Mars retrograde REQUIRES we go within. Think the Hermit card from the Tarot rather than the Chariot. We must stand still and look for the light rather than speed ahead. Think more High Priestess and less Six of Wands victory.

Please try not to worry. The fire of your life will come back in due time 🙂
