I want to talk more about Mars Retrograde. Specifically, retrogrades in general. I’m going to nerd out a little.
Astrology is this fascinating look at time. Using the zodiac signs like hours and the symbolic movements of the planets like the moving hands of a clock, we can deduce the metaphorical time in our lives. Retrogrades help us reconnect to other segments of time to access lessons we need to rework and reintegrate. I know people tend to freak out over retrogrades and, yeah, sometimes they’re pretty lame, but they are designed to help us. Our brains and emotional bodies process things much more slowly than the cosmos moves.
Last Friday, Mars retrograded back into Scorpio, a sign that it previously visited from January 3 to March 5. To get super granular on you all, Mars will be back to the same degrees it was at from February 18 to the beginning of March. With that in mind, all of us will be revisiting something from that two week time period. Maybe we had an idea back then, but weren’t ready to take action on it. Maybe we learned something, but need to integrate the lesson. Just something to chew on.
Mars Retrograde in Scorpio also means that we have to take a look back at how we do the sign of Scorpio. What is our karma around power? Manipulation? Transformation? Intimacy? Trust? Sexuality?
Don’t fear the retrograde. It’s just a chance to rework our karma around the planet and take new action to the way forward will be much smoother.
