Progressed Mars in the 4th house

can indicate trouble and conflict with your family, and childhood/hometown friends. Arguments and periods of distance to cool down can help resolve issues.

went through a stint of not speaking with family during this transit, but we are all cool now🩵

Enery Update: Mars Retrograde 2024-2025

From December 6, 2024 to February 26, 2025, Mars will retrograde from 06° Leo to 17° Cancer. As this is a personal planet retrograde and it encapsulates most of our winter holiday season, it is a fairly long term aspect that we should all keep our eyes on.

The SetUp

Due to its position in our solar system (close to the Earth but past its position relative to the Sun), Mars is the planet that goes retrograde the least frequently, roughly every 26 months. Although we know that its backward motion is an illusion, astrology always views planets in their relationship to our home, the Earth. When a planet moves in retrograde motion, it retraces its steps through the horoscope wheel, repeating degrees that it has recently passed through. This creates an opportunity for a cosmic do-over as the world experiences these repeating degrees thrice: once when the planet enters its pre-retrograde shadow, a second time during the retrograde, and a third time after it stations direct once more in its post-retrograde shadow. This puts intense emphasis on these areas of life represented both by where it falls in the horoscope wheel and how it interacts with every person’s natal birth chart.

Mars is our planet of action. It is the planet that governs our drive and our energy levels. It rules the sign of Aries and the 1st house and co-rules the sign of Scorpio and the 8th house, along with the planet Pluto. We all have Mars placed somewhere in our charts. This placement shows what motivates us and how we go out and get what we want. Mars is also considered to be the Lesser Malefic in Traditional Astrology because it governs anger and strife. Mars needs a purpose – generally to move forward and accomplish a goal – or else it can easily become a bad actor.

When Mars moves in retrograde motion, it moves backward through the horoscope wheel. This is unfortunate as Mars prefers to gain and improve constantly. Retrograde planetary motion is all about looking back over the path that has been traveled and making the necessary changes to correct course. Some Mars placements (Virgo, for example) tend to be more comfortable with this than others. The big flex is to lean into the energy of this retrograde energy and work with it rather than against it.

As this Mars retrograde stretches from 06° Leo back to 17° Cancer, it crosses from a fixed sign back into a cardinal sign. Mixed sign retrogrades are more challenging to understand until you have a good grasp of astrology. What I want you to understand right now is that this retrograde will affect people with personal planets between 00-06° and people with personal planets between 17-29°.

This Mars retrograde will most strongly affect the following groups in the order written. Remembering, this is a compounding effect; the more categories you meet, the stronger the retrograde will be.

Those born with Mars from 00-06° Leo or 17-29° Cancer, and all Aries and Scorpio Sun, Moon, Ascendant, or Mars

Those with Mars in Cancer or Leo that do not meet the above degrees

Anyone with a personal planet (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars) from 00-06° Taurus or Scorpio (square) or Aquarius (opposition), or 17-29° Aries and Libra (square) or Aquarius (opposition)

Anyone with a person planet from 00-06° Aries or Sagittarius, or 17-29° Scorpio or Pisces (trine)

Anyone with a personal planet from 00-06° Gemini or Libra, or 17-29° Taurus or Virgo (sextile)

Anyone with Mars in the 1st House or Mars conjunct their Natal Sun

Keep in mind here that as a personal planet, Mars’ retrograde will impact everyone to a greater or lesser degree, and it will impact our daily lives as a collective as well. You can determine what area of life Mars will impact by looking at the retrograde and how it relates to your chart by sign, house, aspect, and degree.

The Nitty Gritty

I want to reiterate from the start that although traditional astrology says that retrogrades are Bad and Mars retrogrades, in particular, are bad, this is not a foregone conclusion. Retrogrades are a change in the energy output of the planet in motion, and it takes clever awareness to adapt and work with rather than against this energy. Mars retrogrades tend to be the most challenging for humans for one simple reason – humans are, on average, very adverse and reactive to change. Mars wants to charge forth and exert its will upon the world, whereas Mars’s retrograde moments tend to call for pauses and reflection before action.

It is to our advantage that this Mars retrograde coincides with Fallowtide and the retreating of the light. It is disadvantageous that it coincides with our greater holiday season with all of its rushing and potential family disputes.

There are some almost inevitable truths to a Mars retrograde cycle: anything that requires action (be it your job, physical exertions of all kinds, the court systems, etc.) will move much slower than average. There will inevitably be people who can’t handle this slow-down and will lean into emotional reactivity and violence. Along with Venus, Mars is one of our relationship planets, so its retrograde can lead to relationship issues and breakups. (it’s worth noting here that Venus will retrograde as well in the coming spring, which will exasperate relationship issues as these two retrograde cycles overlap with one another)

Mars retrograde cycles tend to illuminate the areas of our lives where we are not getting what we want. This may be because of misplaced goals or poorly thought-through strategies. Or, quite simply, life isn’t fair, and effort rarely equals payout. Mars retrogrades show us how we and our Others react when we are stymied. It may lead to pessimism or depression in those prone, especially as this cycle coincides with our dark season, so stay aware and practice the self-care necessary to weather this rough transit if necessary.

In particular, this retrograde cycle crosses from our fixed fire sign, Leo, backward into our cardinal water sign, Cancer. Immature Mars in Leo energy can be egotistic and self-serving; immature Mars in Cancer tends towards emotional manipulation to get what they want or need. These will be the two battles of this retrograde season. Immature Mars in Leo energy says, “I deserve this,” and immature Cancer energy says, “And I will do what I must to keep this.”

I intentionally use the word immature here because there is a mature form to both of these energies, and discovering this is part of Mars in retrograde energy. Mature Mars in Leo energy is “We ALL deserve this and I will work to make that happen,” and mature Cancer energy is “When we work together to accomplish our goals, we both win.” I also want to reiterate here that we all exhibit immature behaviors now and then, which doesn’t make us bad people. We are all imperfect human beings. The goal with retrogrades like this is to recognize when we are being immature or unfair to others, and to course correct.

As mentioned above, retrogrades all happen in three phases: the pre-retrograde shadow, the retrograde proper, and the post-retrograde shadow. This can explained through the silly analogy of falling in a hole:

Oh no, I fell into this hole! I didn’t know that it was there. There was no way of avoiding it! (pre-retrograde shadow)

Oh SHIT! Did I just fall into that same fucking hole? I should learn to avoid that. (retrograde)

(and hopefully) Oh hey – look at that hole! I don’t need to fall in that – I can walk around it. (post-retrograde shadow)

In this way, many people will face a lesson somewhere in their lives around the themes of the specific retrograde. Of course, whether they learn from it depends on many factors, such as general awareness, ability to think critically, and general maturity level. A person who isn’t willing to change will never get much from a retrograde cycle; on the other hand, someone who is open and willing to look critically at themselves and their own actions may gain a great deal.

Mars makes several aspects to our outer planets, the lunar nodes, and our asteroid Chiron, which shows that this will likely be an especially momentous retrograde for many. During this journey, Mars in Cancer will sextile Uranus in Taurus, trine Neptune in Pisces, and square Chiron thrice and trine Saturn in Pisces twice. Additionally, Mars will oppose Pluto thrice (once in Cancer and twice in Leo) and trine the North Node thrice (twice in Leo and once in Cancer).

This switchover between signs is especially important here. While Mars is moving backward between Cancer and Leo, Pluto is entering Aquarius for good, and our lunar nodes are switching from the Aries-Libra axis to Pisces-Virgo. This is part of a greater story evolving throughout 2025 as both Neptune and Uranus will also change signs. We can see that the cosmic pause of this Mars retrograde is likely necessary because everyone on Earth is undergoing a drastic shift in energy. We need the space to realign, even if it doesn’t fit our perfectly crafted 5-year plan.

If you aren’t where you thought you’d be during this Mars retrograde, know you are right on time. Pay attention to what is going on around you and discern if perhaps it is where you are meant to be and you just haven’t realized it yet.

Some big changes may be in order; there is no denying that. But holding on (the immature Mars in the Cancer specialty) doesn’t really keep things the same, even when we want it to.

If you want to do magic to help with this retrograde, I would encourage work around Pathfinding and Discernment. When the roads fade away, you may need to pave your own or hedge-trim your way through life until the way becomes clear.

Tracking Mars transits!

Notes from Planet in Transit - Robert Hand

Mars opposite Sun (Apr 30 - May 6)

This can be a time when some activity of yours is brought to a triumphal climax

This could be few things: my nails were so long and I was so proud of them (writing this on 6/3 and they're all broken now lmfao), i finally found a spray that worked to get rid of the mold on my bathroom walls, and I successfully made red thai curry chicken on my first try!

This activity may have started during the last transit of Mars conjunct your natal sun (Aug 26 - Sept 3 2023)

That was around the time when I started intentionally making food at home more and it was not going well lol i had chef block! And almost a year later I was making red thai curry chicken HEALED

The last transit of Mars square your natal sun (Jan 3 - Jan 10 2024) you had to face a challenge, if you survived successfully you will now enjoy the fruition of that effort

I don't remember if I faced a challenge lol during that time at work is when they asked me to sit in court with them to time the arguments for 20 days 9-5 and I thought I should quit lmao but nothing related to that happened in May....maybe it was a mental thing! I could stretch it and say that when they asked me that I panicked that I had nothing to wear (and hated my outfits the 3 days i went to court bc they ended up not needing me for 20 days lol) but in May I wore this really cute outfit out!

Mars trine Jupiter (May 9 - May 16)

One of the best transits for any kind of activity, high energy, feeling good, belief that you can do twice as much work

I did a lot! I cooked, I went to zumba, I went to get my friend a parking pass which ended up being like a two day ordeal lmao

Extremely favorable time for any physical activity, muscles have unusually good tone and vigor

Yep! Zumba was great! Also on 5/12 I got this body composition thing done at the gym and it was so funny bc as the guy is explaining to me that most people are not symmetrical he reads my results and was like "oh! I guess you are" lmaooo he doesn't know i'm a libra like of course I would be balanced on this thing lol

You are able to act with a complete picture in mind of what you are doing

I've been working on a 3000 piece puzzle and I got the bright idea to put the part of the puzzle away that I already finished bc looking at the size of it is overwhelming! I made so much progress in a couple days compared to a couple months

You can plan with greater foresight and thereby avoid pitfalls and be regarded as lucky

This! I felt so lucky getting my friend that parking pass bc we saved $55! I wen to go pick up a long term pass for 7 days and it was $150 and the guy in the office told me that if I came back the next day I could get the monthly pass for may instead half off for $95 and I was like BET and came back the next day to get it! It was also less work than the long term pass bc all they needed was my name not even a license plate

Particularly favorable time for any work that can advance your own interests

Spent time making the itinerary for my trip to Amsterdam!

Mars opposite Moon ( May 20 - May 27)

When I read about this transit I was so scared of it lmfao I was like omgggg this is literally my trip what if my bestie and I have a falling out? LMFAO absolutely ridiculous i've known her since 2007 there's no turning back now lol

Emotionally based relationships may be somewhat difficult, women may be especially hard to deal with, this transit creates emotional confrontations forcing you to master aspects of yourself you're not usually aware of, confrontations will be most powerful in your closest emotional relations

When I came back from my trip on 5/26, on my aunt's bday, after she opened the gifts I got her she told me how she shared my pics with my mom i'm NC with..... and I was like wtf??? why would you do that?? I felt so violated!! My moon is in the 8H so honestly it wouldn't be normal if I didn't get hit with some random act of betrayal from family frfr

If you are not self aware your actions will be dictated by irrational desires

I AM self aware! I was so angry at her for doing it but I didn't snap! I took 5 days to think it over before bringing it up again

Period of testing and confrontation which points to relationship tensions

yeah this was really showing how on my mom's side my aunt is bc it was so easy for her to disregard my boundaries just bc she "felt bad" my mom was sad and I honestly think it's bc I'm doing well in life so it looks like I'm the "bad person" to her bc i'm not suffering from going NC *rolls eyes*

Conflicts at this time all serve to creatively release tensions that have been buried within you and to increase your self knowledge

True! Bc what a random way to confront the whole "whose side are you on??" with my aunt willingly telling me that she share my trip pictures with the one person i intentionally removed from my life lol

Mars opposite Mercury (May 22 - May 29)

This overlapped with the Mars opposite moon above! And I avoided bringing it up again until 5/30 bc I knew i had this transit lol the boundary I set with my aunt was that she would no longer be getting pictures of what i'm doing and getting details about them bc I can't trust that she's not going to randomly "feel bad" and share with my mom and she responded "I respect your decision"

Today may be full of disputes and arguments

Not a good day for trying to settle arguments because neither you nor your opponent will budge

Your ego is thoroughly bound up with your opinions

Make sure that there’s a real issue at stake and only if you have a real position then defend it

Excellent day for any kind of mental work as long as you don’t have to work with others

Hasty because energy is high but self discipline should help

Be careful for any situation that has potential for accidents especially while traveling

Mars square Neptune (May 26 - June 2)

Deal with feelings of doubt, discouragement and inadequacy

I was feeling bad at work bc I've been so mentally exhausted I haven't been able to complete my work and I feel so bad about it like they're going to message me and tell me they know I haven't been doing shit lol

Taking the easy way will have you face even more discouraging consequences as a result

This may be a stretch but I was EXTREMELY bloated during this time because I was opting for snacking instead of full meals or just eating at weird hours instead of sticking to a schedule lol that was me taking the easy way and I couldn't sleep some nights

Your physical energies are low at this time, try to relax, body is more subject than usual to minor infections, chills, fever, and excessive physical strain should be avoided

Forgot about this transit and I went to bodypump on 5/29 and I can still feel the soreness in my armpits omg and I could barely walk on 5/30 lol I think the weights I picked were too heavy for this day

You'll have a successful transit if you conserve energies and confront your fears

I was exhausted lol mission failed! But i had fun so lol

Mars in Scorpio ❤️‍🔥

Mars moved into Scorpio on October 31st, and will remain there until December 14th. Bonus messages because I’m excited about this transit. How about you? I’d love to hear from you. 🤍

~~~

You want to conquer the world. You want your cake and to eat it too. You want to do it on your own. You don’t want to ask for help. Atlas with the world on your shoulders, and you think you can handle it. Bottling up your anger as it rages under the surface, causing you to act in ways you normally wouldn’t. Because being angry, confronting your feelings makes you seem weak. So you choose to ignore them, in favor of looking strong. Successful. Grounded. Popular. You can choose to let your anger fuel you, using it a productive way. Don’t keep it bottled up too long, find an outlet for it. Now may be the time to show a glimpse of your hand, while still keeping your most sacred cards close to your chest. 

Continue reading for your rising sign..

leo - the ruling sun: leo symbolises the activation of the self, the christ within, and the giving of light and love. the whole revolves around the leo sun, for without with we are nothing, and leo is equally as indispensable aries - sun in exalt: the sun is the centre being and constantly in view. In the same way, the sign of aries is all about establishing an important place on the world and leaving an impression

aquarius - sun at detriment: knows who they don’t want to be, struggles more with what they want libra - sun at fall: the ego forms through interpersonal connection, so the sun can break apart radiating through a shared, undeveloped, overly self-conscious and poorly integrated physical interface

cancer - the ruling moon: natural creativity in its most maternal and beautiful form, returning to the source of the universe taurus - exalting moon: natural creativity in its most maternal and beautiful form, returning to the source of the universe 

capricorn - moon in detriment: unwilling to recognise or acknowledge the inner experience as being valid and worthy of being nurtured scorpio - moon at fall: emotional defences are built from small, vulnerable, and endangered hands that were made to last a lifetime, so behind most of the fight is a frightened child

gemini - mercury rules: clever and caustic, child's curiosity, mental qualities accelerate and produce the marvellous messenger virgo - mercury rules and exalts: insightful intellect, mother's wisdom, deep and silent immersion through the inner realm to uncover and recover the hidden details of God

sagittarius - mercury in detriment: communication troubles, mishears, misreads, misinterprets, becomes accusatory pisces - mercury detriment and at fall: words can be slippery on the tongue and fall out wrong. can vaguely suggesting what they mean rather than saying it clearly

taurus - ruling venus: to marvel at nature’s are and architecture, and to emulate these practices in rhythmic rituals of unforced creation  libra - ruling venus: a mind that paints idyllic lenses over the eyes, so they can oscillate between two worlds - the real world, and the romanticised and imagined reality 

aries - venus in detriment: difficulty drawing the line between pleasure and pain, indulgence turns into self-destruction  scorpio - venus in detriment: difficulty being ‘kind’ and loving to themselves  virgo - venus falling: relationships accompany a sense of inadequacy, sensing their biggest flaws in comparison to the partner

aries - ruling mars: the weapon of self-respect, self-belief, and not being afraid of failing, the weapon of a razor sharp, quick intellect that acquires super powers with adrenaline and is well practiced in heated combat so they rarely freeze or stumble scorpio - ruling mars: the true battle scorpio face are the fires burning within themselves, the war against false selves and memories that must perish away to reveal the greater destiny  capricorn - mars in exalt: controlling, activating, and directing internal energy into the higher functions of self-development and progressing toward goals. this comes with resisting the burn out and sudden unleashing of rage that threatens to destroy everything in a moment

taurus - mars in detriment: slow to wake, ‘cloudy’ bodied, slow metabolic rate libra - mars in detriment: reluctant to stand and battle, but anger and defences can be projected, can become surprisingly reactive and temperamental around the people they love and care for the most cancer - mars falling: does not completely recover from illness before they fall sick again pisces - mars falling: desires to be rescued and redeemed by true love, but is also the one commanding the dragon to protect and defend; and the one choosing to be exiled in acts of self-punishment

cancer - saturn at detriment: the sense of constant, and strenuous circumstances where their own and other people’s habits of behaviour keep being replayed, sometimes it can feel like constantly living the same day leo - saturn at detriment: gets trapped in a darkness with the sense they have lost the wisdom to get through it

aquarius - ruling uranus: mediates between the cosmic circuit of ideas and the universal mind, seeking to reunify with the awakened being sending wisdom from the future leo - uranus at detriment: ideas for the soul of humanity can become grandiose personal schemes, self-consciousness restricts individuality, can personally identify with victims everywhere

pisces - the neptune ruler: generally seeking an existence, identity, and purpose beyond human, mystique or glamour, the appearance and take on many forms and faces virgo - neptune at detriment: logical mind strangles the imaginative mind, there can be confusion and diffusion between both - they can lose track of what is reality and what is fantasy because they can no longer identify between the two

Mars in Pisces: Slowing Things Down

On May 13th, 2020, Mars will be entering the sign of Pisces. This generally brings a slowing down of things until June 25th when Mars enters Aries. For now, this is a good time to take things slow and to practice much needed patience. It can feel frustrating for many fire signs, but this is the perfect opportunity to refine plans and goals.

Aries – This is synonymous to your reset before you can go charging full speed ahead. Anything you begin now will be riddled with frustration as you lack the drive to keep at it. You will learn a lot about patience and if you’re not interested in it, you will be forced to learn before mars shifts into Aries. Planning and restructuring goals are a must during this time.

Taurus – Reconnecting is the theme with this transit. You will reconnect with projects you have abandoned; dreams you did not feel confident enough to pursue and there could be people that will help you connected with those in fields that are of interest to you. This can feel pleasant since Mars in Pisces is not as aggressive as other signs. You will go with the flow.

Gemini – You are in your element with this transit believe it or not. Pisces will put you up in the spotlight, pushing you to achieve and succeed. With Venus in your sign, you will make the hard work look easy even if you are fighting for control. Learn to relax, take it easy and keep going with the flow. Mars entering Pisces will prove challenging but very rewarding in the end if you know how to master it.

Cancer – This can feel like a very spiritual transit with Mars shifting into the sign of Pisces. You want to learn more, bring more of that Zen feeling into your life with the optimism and empathy that Pisces has to offer. Right now, it can feel like a good time to lose yourself in thought and reflection with Venus now retrograding. Learning and meditating during this transit leaves the room for growth and appreciation.

Leo – With this transit, you will learn to appreciate what you have and set the tone for what you need. Mars is slowed down for you with this transit, as you seek the boost of energy to get concrete plans to take off. Nevertheless, the changes you will see will spark the spiritual side of you as you dig deeper in exploring yourself on a new level. Mars in Pisces demands you to look inside, learn from past mistakes  and grow to become a stronger version of yourself.

Virgo – A lot is on your plate with this transit as you get motivated to learn more about the people around you and this includes friends as well as partners. You want to merge, to blend but this Mars transit might have you on the edge, ready to go berserk. Learn to take the peaceful route, do not start drama and keep things flowing smoothly with others.

Libra – Cardinal signs do not run away from an extra dose of tasks; many thrive during these transits and this is no different. Mars in Pisces brings an awakening to your goals and your dreams. Get focused, get going and show the world what you are made of. This Venus transit will be teaching you about your needs and wants but combined with the Mars transit, you will have the tools needed to build on those dreams.

Scorpio –You will enjoy this transit and all it has to offer. With the playful energy of Gemini combined, it can feel like a tough energy to handle but with you, you will find ways to make the most of it. Mars in Pisces brings out your flirtatious side, your go-getting spirit and it wouldn’t be surprising if you were more forceful with what you wanted during this transit. Remember to have fun and not to get lost in the drama.

Sagittarius – A lot of turmoil when it comes to your emotional state as Mars in Pisces brings back the memories and hurt from the past. With Venus retrograding, the past can easily come and contact you but for now, you need to let the emotions flow through and understand the healthiest way to react to them. Focus on meditating if things get overwhelming, self-care is essential now more than ever.

Capricorn – Use the new energy that Mars in Pisces has to offer you but make sure to think before you snap. This can be an enlightening period for you as long as you approach things with tact, especially when dealing with co-workers or neighbors. You are sharper than usual, driven and passionate. Capricorn, you might feel unstoppable now but do not crush those around you. Diplomacy is your best policy.

Aquarius – You know what you want, and you will have plenty of energy to get it. There can be lots of fun associated with this transit, as well as worry over your future. Nevertheless, you will still find the drive to get things sorted, to keep plans going and you will come out ahead after this transit. Mars in Pisces is your blueprint and managing things now will prove to be beneficial for the next couple of months with patience.

Pisces – Perfect moment to channel with the world and connect with it spiritually. Mars in Pisces will have you believing and driven to get things done in a way that will keep you engaged. Inspiration will come to you easily which will help you get in touch with your creative side and be more in tune with the collective.

♂️ Mars transits Pisces ♓

May 13th-June 27th

"As with all transits Mars in Pisces is bringing new levels of awareness and realisation for those who are willing to receive them. Remain present and open, listening to both your body and your intuition as they guide you during this time."

There are partnerships or communities that harbor conflicting energies to someone's growth, & this is causing them to be introspective about what energy needs to be put in certain people or situations. There is a false person that is soaking up a relationship/friendship for all of its fortune, & clarity is meant to come within this transit. Motives & egos of others will be revealed, when things where much hidden in the past. Some relationships may be coming to an end with this component adding to the review of all things revolving around relationships (Venus RX in Gemini; the duality of love). Dealing with the monotony of an unhealthy cycle within these connections is bound to create further poverty, & this is a financial situation within the family that is draining for some. Someone feels stuck/imprisoned in this connection & there is a lot of repression of conflict that they are wanting to move away from. There is a need to get out of the energy of betrayal, stress & hurt when it comes to releasing from the illusions. Someone may be dealing with a false social circle or community, who consists of flighty energy or are full of distractions. They are needing to follow their inspiration/intuition about where to focus their energy on, & some may be going within in search of inner guidance, or are isolating themselves for this process. For some, this inspiration/intuition needs building in order to refer to a concrete perspective, & cutting these energies out will become the realization/focus. Masculine energy is going to be leaning more towards introspection & may be more likely focused on the inner guidance & getting in touch with creating an environment that is more balance & aligned with them. Not every friend/partner is for our best interest, or our soulmate; you could be dealing with karmic connections that may need to be rejected. There is a decision that is needed to be made, & it is to overcome any feelings of heartache, grief & loss, & someone is needing to sacrifice themselves in order to get back balance in their life/journey.
