Mars retrograde is a celestial pause that asks us to slow down our outward pace and look inward instead. During this time, the usual momentum of life feels more internal, requiring patience as we navigate a shift in our typical drive and focus.
Mars governs our motivation, physical energy, and the way we handle conflict or pursue our deepest desires. Rather than forcing progress during this phase, it is best to refine your strategies, practice deep reflection, and avoid rushing into impulsive decisions that might require backtracking later.
