The Capricorn Sun opposes Mars Retrograde in Cancer, an energy that may make for flared tempers, but more productively used as a harness for motivation. Mars Retrograde is a two-month review of our wants and desires. The opposition puts this in the spotlight.
Want and desire are not abstract or intellectual concepts. They are felt, physically so. We can see that so plainly in Mars’s rulership of Aries and Scorpio. Desire is passion, motivation, consummation, a need to set off in a new direction, to hunt for what we want.
Any time a planet is retrograde, specifically a personal planet like Mars, Mercury, or Venus, it’s a review of something very personal to us. We need to be more conscientious of how we use our Mars, how we embody and feel our wants and desires. To use it with purpose and awareness.
That said, Mars can rile tempers and instigate. Find a steady hand.
Mars will be retrograde until February 23, turning direct at 17 Cancer.
