Presently we have four retrogrades all happening simultaneously: Neptune is retrograde until December, Mercury is retrograde until mid-December, Uranus is retrograde in Taurus until January 2025, and Jupiter is retrograde in Gemini until February 2025.
Mars is the red-hot, fiery planet is stationing retrograde from December 6 to February 23, 2025. Mars is retrograde in Leo from December 6, 2024 – January 6, 2025.
Lessons are woven throughout every Mars retrograde. We will be challenged to reflect on our desires in the next few months. Why else do we get frustrated when things don’t go our way, or exhausted when we have spent far too much time on a passion project without a moment to decompress? Through the lens of Leo (December 6 – January 6,2025), are we spending time avoiding our true passions? Through the lens of Cancer (January 6 – February 23, 2025), are we neglecting to put efforts toward what we truly need? The Mars retrograde has us dancing between what we want and what we need. May we spend our time accordingly.
For the first period of Mars retrograde, the influence of Leo over the planet of action is going to make it more difficult for us to connect with and be motivated by our passion—so we have to ask ourselves, “Will I be annoyed that my joy isn’t sparked and sit in a state of disappointment, or will I use this as an opportunity to pursue something I have always wanted to but haven’t yet?
With a Cancerian influence, you must step into your mama bear energy in the second period of this Mars retrograde. Protect yourself, your emotions, and your home! Be patient when you feel emotionally heightened because the more you react impulsively, the more that heavy feeling will persist.
Besides Mars retrograde in Leo, we also have Jupiter retrograde in Gemini until February 4, 2025. With Mercury also retrograde in Sagittarius until December 15, 2024, (Mercury rules Gemini) our communications are in a slumber. May we practice patience and not take anything personally!! Let us be careful with our hands, driving and travelling in general. PRACTICE PATIENCE AND DIAPHRAGM BREATHING, with breath retention to ground into the present moment!
