What those who can not wait to lose both money and nerves have to face at such a time:

1. Purchasing a car in the next three months is highly undesirable. It is worth remembering that the moment of purchase is the moment of full payment. As a last resort, you can make an advance payment and wait for the car to arrive, make the last payment after July 4, 2016. But still, if in a good way: in July, Mars will still have a very low speed. It is better to postpone the purchase until August 2016;

1.1. Everyone who followed my recommendations has already done service repairs. Those who did not have time and will go to the service, as well as those who need urgent repairs, should tune in to difficulties in one form or another, re-replacing expensive spare parts in a very short time after the start of operation;

1.2. From personal experience: in one of these periods, a heating radiator dripped on my Russian-made seven. It was a song! It is clear that the heating radiator is a disease of these machines. But for three months of Mars retrograde (and it managed to break down at that very moment), I had to change three radiators!

In another period, my battery ran out. The new battery lasted exactly three and a half months. Since the astrologer was mentally prepared for such an outcome, she did not get upset: she simply bought a new one. Fortunately, Mars has already gone at its usual speed.

2. Mars is the planet of activity, action, risk. During the period of retrograde Mars, it is very undesirable to create a new business, company, open an individual entrepreneur, especially if the type of activity is directly related to cars, spare parts, this or that production, security, sports, fitness, jewelry cutting of stones, repairs, sharp objects, weapons .
I can’t help but note the fact that there are cases of successful business start-ups on retrograde Mars, but they are extremely rare. Therefore, for those who do not have the opportunity to consult with an astrologer, it is better to adhere to the general rules.

3. At such a time, you should not purchase equipment that is personally expensive for you, tools related to the above areas: from the production line to the screwdriver. By the way, knives are also under Mars and good knives are always expensive. Wait for this one with the purchase.

4. I would like to emphasize once again: you should not start, that is, draw up a package of documents, organize new production, etc. But what if the business is already open? Tune in to slow down business activity, and not necessarily only in the areas listed. Here it is worth remembering that any production under Mars. Transporting goods with cars. Try to specify in the contracts the maximum possible terms for the implementation of orders. You may not let you down, but you may be let down by suppliers, some other obstacles.

5. One can only sympathize with those who are planning repairs in the near future, as well as those who are engaged in this area. If you are determined to carry out repairs in the shortest possible time, it is better to abandon this venture. Firstly, fast does not mean good: the need to comply with technology has not yet been canceled. Secondly, well, they won’t make repairs for you quickly, and even if they do, you will not be satisfied with the quality of work, or, as an option, you will have to wait for interior items ordered according to an individual project much longer than the stated deadlines. All participants in the repair can also be recommended to focus on the extremely long terms of work.

6. Sports and fitness activities. If it's about trying to do something serious, 99% quit. Apparently, those women who are determined to get into their summer size will face the same sad fate. Retrograde Mars is very, very lazy, but also stubborn. I understand this perfectly, as an astrologer, but as a woman I will say: a few workouts “mastered” during such a period are still much better than nothing! Give yourself less stress, do 10 minutes a day, but constantly. You can withstand small loads, but large one-time extra efforts can remain in the one-time category.

7. Any planned surgical interventions on retrograde Mars are undesirable: the risk of reoperation is high. Emergency intervention is what it is. When it comes to life, there is no choice.

8. It is traditionally believed that marriage during a retrograde Mars is undesirable. It will be difficult for a man to show his truly masculine qualities.

But if Mars is unfolding, then it is needed for something? To be honest, as a fiery, ever-hurrying sign, I have always experienced great discomfort during the period of retrograde Mars. The upcoming pace of the crawling turtle is unlikely to inspire those who are used to solving everything quickly, clearly, efficiently.

1. Nevertheless, even at such a time, one can first learn to carefully calculate one's strength. During the retrograde period of Mars, remember the need for timely rest, the normal number of hours of sleep! Otherwise, you risk driving your body into a sad state;

2. If you can not start a radically new, it is logical to complete everything that for some reason has not been completed! Someone will find an unfinished skirt, an unfinished thing. Men have their own field of activity. It's time to finish all the unfinished things, or just get rid of them. Complete everything material in one way or another, this will give you spiritual strength for future great achievements!

Good luck to everyone, and in the future - the development of new directions!

Questions are coming:

1. And how does Mars retrograde affect the owners of Mars retrograde?

Since I myself am such (Mars was retrograde at the time of my birth), I did not notice any special indulgences for myself. I understand perfectly well that personal experience is not enough for a categorical conclusion. But, nevertheless, you can’t throw out songs from words: work is always more difficult at such a time, spare parts break down, I’m always eager to build up at this time, but it doesn’t last long)))

2. Why do some sites indicate different dates for Mars retrograde?

I count the periods of retrograde of any planet along with those days when it is stationary (that is, stops its movement). Practice shows that on the days of stationarity, all the "charms" described in this article are observed more clearly and noticeably, and I consider it not quite the right decision not to indicate these terms.

Mars will be stationary ("immobile") from 12 to 16 April 2016, then from 1 to 04 July 2016. Watch what happens these days. It is during such periods of stationarity of Mars that situations arise that can be described by the following phrase: stoppage of movement, business activity.

In my memory, the following most notable events took place:

Giant traffic jams, and not necessarily only on highways, a couple of times there was pandemonium in the subway. People stood in the passages between stations for hours, without any possibility of movement;

Very often, payment systems in banks hang up, the Internet is junk. It would seem, where does Mars? Banks, the Internet accompany the business activity of any person or company.

During the period of stationary Mars, conflicts and aggressive behavior of people increase. Follow the DDD rule on the days listed: Give the Fool the Way! If possible, do not contact aggressive, conflicting people in any format. It was not enough to feed the trolls and energy vampires.

Yes, not in everything, but not only the description, but also all manifestations are very similar. The machine is under the control of Mercury, as a means of transportation, but also of Mars, since it consists of "iron". The description is very similar, but to understand the size of the influence of retrograde Mars, remember your feelings during those periods when Mercury was retrograde and multiply at least twice.

And if we take into account that from April 27 to May 24, 2016 (the days of stationarity are also included in the calculation of the dates), we are also expected to turn Mercury into a backward movement, we can safely multiply it three times. In other words: the influence of retrograde Mars is an order of magnitude higher than the influence of retrograde Mercury.

4. The war in Donbass began during the period of Mars Retrograde, what is the likelihood of an escalation of the conflict?

It is impossible to answer such questions, relying only on the transit position of the planets. I have written more than once that I do not consider myself a great specialist in the astrology of states. Of course, the retrograde of Mars in this particular situation increases the likelihood of an active phase. The tension on the front line continues to grow. But to what extent there will be tension, relying only on the retrograde Mars factor, I cannot answer. So far, I can only say the following: whoever starts the active phase first at such a time will lose. As in that joke: “And whoever cheats will get in the red face!” Let those who believed in them all these two years believe in the version of "self-shelling".

5. Why do you write in an exaggerated way? There is no food for spiritual growth!

"Call," please! We are not locals, we are from the village of "priemhamshi"!

But seriously, I write my articles for a wide range of users: first of all, for those who are completely or unfamiliar with astrology. 10 years of active consultations have taught me to manage with the utmost minimum of astrological terminology.

Once every two years for only 6 weeks it happens Mars retrograde. In the past rebirth, such a person did not skillfully use his energy enough, spending on empty deeds led to a deterioration in karma as a whole. All that uncertainty that remained in a past life passed with a vengeance into this life, making it difficult to use all the positive aspects. Uncertainty and a certain stiffness is clearly expressed. Indecisive actions give rise to new problems that are difficult to solve on their own and forever. However, there is a positive point in this meaning: such people do not get into difficult situations, and thanks to great care, they are saved from many troubles very simply.

At first glance, such a person evokes a feeling of a timid, not decisive person, but this is not entirely true. Depending on the totality of all signs, certain conclusions can be drawn that they are quite active. There may be some internal struggle with oneself. It cannot be called aggressive or even belligerent, however, a certain outburst of anger can be noticed. Retrograde Mars has an impact on inner harmony, and in cases where the energy does not find the right outlet, one can observe such a negative picture as destruction from the inside. This is a very adverse effect on both health and mental state in general. You can advise such people such an option as sublimation. Sublimation is one of the many ways to realize energy, through the necessary channels, a concentrated flow of negative energy passes without creating discomfort and pain. The main thing is the complete control of all flows, both positive and negative.

A feature of such a person is a certain assertiveness and self-confidence. They can endure for a long time, experiencing discomfort, however, already, if something pissed them off, anger will be explosive. This feature helps to cultivate a certain willpower. Often they achieve great success in sports, especially in heavy sports. They often compete with themselves, which leads them to the front row of winners. If such individuals set a goal, then they go to it for a long time and assertively. Many famous politicians have just such a sign. Very often such people in childhood were subjected to ridicule, aggressive actions. It is this story that helps them in the future, is a kind of incentive to never return to those events. At a young age, they are focused on improving their own physical strength, do not like to be dependent on anyone.

During the retrograde of Mars, you do not need to make special efforts to fulfill your desires. Many efforts will be in vain. Often this combination nullifies all your efforts. This period of time is worth spending on studying your own mistakes, returning to past problems, understanding the essence of their occurrence, and in the future to change their occurrence. Only correct and competent introspection will help you harmoniously create a strong foundation for the future. Use this time for your own moral and mental recovery. As well as possible, relaxation, meditation, awareness of one’s own non-ideality will come to the rescue. Stop, take a break, recharge with positive energies, maintain moral and physical health for future revivals. Only after a full recovery will you be able to start a new, complex and long-term business.

When Mars is retrograde, stay calm, do not make impulsive statements. Any purchase related to electronics should be postponed for a better time. After all, all the equipment purchased during this period can not only quickly fail, but can also bring trouble to your life. You should not start any actions aimed at litigation, alienation of property. There is a high probability that your own lawsuits will turn against you. During such a period, a person cannot prove himself in any way, but do not despair, if fate so desires, such individuals will reach great heights without any effort. But it's not worth taking the initiative.

Mars is a slower planet than Mercury and Venus, because its orbit is much further from the Sun. Mars travels the entire zodiac in about 2 years.

Mars is an outer planet, meaning its orbit is not inside Earth's orbit. and outside, so Mars can become retrograde only when the Sun is opposite - in opposition, that isMars, Earth and Sun line up in one line.

Competitions of various kinds

Stages of retrograde Mars and related features

Serious problems are associated with the retrograde motion of Mars. activity slowdown, revision and change in the direction of the efforts made and the way energy is spent, the change in the stereotypes by which people act and behave. Not everyone can notice this, but internal changes still exist.

1) When Mars slows down the movement, a person is already less actively using his usual methods of work, activities, there is a kind of departure from the stereotype.

2) During the first parking of Mars (a static state before turning into a retrograde movement), a person may stop acting in the way he is used to.

3) During the retrograde period, activity and activity are reviewed, a person begins to remember his past experience and more and more begins to think that it is impossible or impossible to act in the old way, because this no longer brings the desired results. Little by little, a person begins to search for a new stereotype of behavior, after analyzing the old experience. It is already difficult to use it in daily activities.

4) After Mars goes straight, the use of a new stereotype is gradually mastered and the person begins to act differently.

From this it is clear that the period of Mars retrograde is very important, because it helps many of us find new ways and ways to act. This should especially be used by those who are stuck in everyday life, want to get new experience, but does not yet know how.

Every two years you will be given that chance. After all, every two years, after Mars has mastered the Zodiac, you can stop and look back, and if something doesn’t work out, fix it!

This is a great point for preparing a new start, whether it's work, business projects or sports achievements, and indeed any ideas where it is important to make efforts and act. If you have your own business, expect Mars retrograde to rethink the way you operate, maybe even your line of business. This is the perfect time for it!

The Psychological Impact of Mars Retrograde

Although Mars is not particularly associated with psychology, some may notice the effect of retrograde on the general state. Among the possible psychological effects the following may be observed:

There is little energy to start something: even if you want to start some business, strong laziness can pile up, or something will constantly distract you.

An increase in irritation, intolerance, dissatisfaction with oneself and other people, which interferes with the performance of everyday and work activities.

Loss of interest in certain things.

Decreased libido.

Memories of old grievances, a keen sense of revenge and punishment of offenders, even if quite a lot of time has passed.

The desire to quarrel and sort things out with others (especially with the negative aspects of Mars at this time).

Probable events on retro Mars

You are given a chance to review your activities, offer a fresh look at how you are used to acting.

Competitors, rivals or people who helped you develop, stimulated, motivated and did not allow you to be lazy, may appear from the past, forced you to act.

Conflicts between people are aggravated, old enemies are activated.

There may be a chance to try again what once did not work.

Braking in any business, especially those that require activity.

The emergence of various obstacles on the way to goals.

Leaving the cases that you plan to do, the intervention of third-party circumstances (for example, someone distracted, offered to switch to something else).

Breakdowns and failure of equipment and vehicles.

Travel delays due to accidents or other problems that may not be directly related to you, but will affect you indirectly (this also happens with retrograde / static Mercury, on retro Mars, delays or their causes are usually more serious).

Aggression can easily turn against the one who expresses it, so you should develop patience, endurance and just try not to enter into conflicts.

Retrograde Mars: what not to do and why?

• Start any new projects that are related to business or any other activity in which you will not act as an outside observer, but will act clearly. This is especially true of any long-term enterprises.

Why not? Such new activities may not be successful, or you will quickly be “blown away”: there will be no desire to continue or develop this business.

• Move to a new place of work, look for a new job.

Why not? Finding a new job can take a long time, and if you have already found a job before, you should not start it now, as it will be more difficult for you to get used to it. There will be many things that you are completely unfamiliar with. New experience and new skills will accumulate very slowly and hard.

• Organize and start competitions.

Why not? The organization of any competition can be difficult and not very successful, there can be a lot of difficulties. This, of course, refers to the beginning of the organization. If the competitions were prepared before that, then in the days of retro Mars it is good to review all possible scenarios once again, to supplement and correct something. The organization can let us down, or some unforeseen forces will intervene.

If some competitions or sporting events are held for a longer time, then their beginning should be planned with Mars in a direct position, and only then it does not matter whether Mars turns or not. For example, Mars went retrograde in 2018. June 26. In the same month, the FIFA World Cup began (beginning - June 14, 2018). It ended July 15 when Mars was in retrograde. The championship was very successful and was even recognized as the best in history.

• Buy cars or other means of transportation.

Why not? Mounts are related to Martian themes, so it's best to avoid buying them. New cars may be defective and you will have to return or exchange them. They can quickly fail, or you will constantly repair them.

• Start building or renovating.

Why not? During the repair process, a variety of problems can be clarified, misunderstandings are not ruled out, something will be done wrong, then it will have to be redone.

• To try to speed up something, to do it faster, to force things.

Why not? Your efforts may be in vain, you will regret taking action, or situations will simply get out of control.

• Repair equipment and vehicles (hand over the car to a car service).

Why not? There is a big risk that they will fiddle with the problem for a long time, or very soon it will turn out that the work will have to be redone or completed, hidden shortcomings will be revealed. The reasons can be different: from accidents to negligence and incompetence of masters.

• To go on a trip.

Why not? There is a high probability of delays on the way, various kinds of accidents, in the worst case scenario and the corresponding indicators in the birth chart - accidents with your participation, injuries, blood loss, surgical intervention.

• Start a war (of any kind, not necessarily in the truest sense of the word), take open action against someone, sue someone.

Why not? Whoever starts it is more likely to fail soon.

• Do operations that can be postponed (for example, plastic and others).

Why not? Mars is directly related to operations, surgery, sharp instruments and blood, so you should not do an operation: there is a high probability of various side effects, bleeding, and a long recovery.

Mars retrograde: what can you do?

• Return to old and unfinished or unfinished business, reconsider the approach to solving them, use other methods to implement the plan;

• Make repeated attempts to achieve the goal (if something didn’t work out for you before);

• Get rid of old things; throw out of your thoughts what is already outdated and cannot be used for further development;

• Give up bad habits;

• Accumulate strength and energy for future achievements, prepare for some kind of breakthrough in the future;

• Analyze your previous actions, especially if something did not work out, identify problems and inaccuracies in your actions, check and double-check what has already been completed and done;

• Admit your mistakes.

How to understand who is waiting for change?

Retrograde Mars is primarily felt by people in whose horoscopes this planet occupies an important position: he is associated with activity, stands in a corner house (especially the first or tenth). Also if you are Aries or Scorpio, Mars will also matter as he rules these signs.

If you do not know your horoscope, but your profession is associated with Mars, then in professional activities you may also feel some delays or other events. This is especially true for people in the following professions:

• surgeons
• Dentists
• Firefighters
• police officers
• Athletes
• Steelworkers, metallurgists
• Test chemists
• race car drivers
• Drivers
• Auto mechanics
• Butchers
• Lumberjacks
• Customs and tax officials
• guards
• It also includes military professions and work in any business in which you need to act quickly and assertively, make quick decisions.

Mars retrograde transit according to the signs of the zodiac

Retrograde Mars is quite predictable: it happens in each sign of the Zodiac in turn, affects two neighboring signs, sometimes skips one sign. In each of these signs, he can manifest himself in different ways. The Mars cycle begins in Aries and lasts approximately 13-15 years old. During this time, he manages to be retrograde 7 or 8 times.

♈ ARIES. In this sign, retrograde Mars will not be particularly pleased, because he does not like to return to the past. Although in this sign Mars is very determined and active, going in the opposite direction, he will especially seriously slow down all undertakings and will not allow things to develop normally. Transfer activity to unfinished business and projects. You will be more likely to complete them successfully or redo something. But the new one will not be very successful, which will cause a storm of irritation and aggression.

♉ TAURUS. When Mars is in Taurus , its activity sharply decreases in comparison with the previous period, there is more laziness and relaxation. With retrograde, this only intensifies, and any activity that is too active can bring losses, unforeseen expenses, loss of money and various kinds of costs that could not be taken into account. Very high probability of errors in the work. Don't rush and make quick decisions!

Mars retrograde in Taurus is expected from November 12 to December 23, 2037 (after Aries in 2020, in 2022 Mars will jump in retrograde immediately into Gemini).

♊ GEMINI. Here Mars acts more through words, communication, negotiations, mental activity in general. The desire to urgently go somewhere, to talk to someone increases. However, haste can bring chaos, and some circumstances interfere with the need to agree on something with someone. With retrograde Mars in Gemini, no matter how people strive to be in time somewhere, they are still late, spoil relations with others and show excessive ardor and impatience. Therefore, it is so important not to rush now, not to try to jump into the last car of the train. Remember. that this is a very unfortunate time to rush.

Mars retrograde in Gemini is expected from October 30, 2022 to January 12, 2023 and from October 13 to November 12, 2037.

♋ RAK. Mars in the sign of Cancer, and even retrograde, is very weak, so at this time many will face various inconveniences and stresses. Many people become intolerant of their loved ones, various national unrest breaks out among the people. It is difficult to put things in order in everyday life, there are various breakdowns in the house, etc. Anxiety is ripening in society and various gloomy thoughts appear that are associated with the home, land, and close relatives. It is clear that this time is ideal for completing or reviewing matters related to family and home, but not starting new ones.

♌ LION Getting into a fire sign again, Mars begins to simulate people to be more active and apply forces in the direction they need, however, turning into a retrograde movement, Mars slows down any new activity and slows it down, resulting in growing anger and aggression. To prevent this from happening, plan for this period only the continuation of the cases started in the past, but not the beginning of new ones. Boast only about what you already know and know how to do, what you are sure of. It is better not to visit crowded places, because at this time there is a high probability of various unrest, fires and accidents.

Mars retrograde in Leo is expected from December 7, 2024 to January 6, 2025 and from February 27 to April 1, 2027.

♍ VIRGO. When Mars goes retrograde in Virgo, there are all sorts of problems in the workplace and work environment. This time cannot be used to start a new important project at work. You cannot start a new position or move to a new office. Lack of time for some things can force the authorities to tighten conditions, employees have to work more, etc., which can provoke resentment in the work environment. Job loss due to impulsiveness and intolerance is common during this period. Mental and physical strain at work can affect your health.

Mars retrograde in Virgo is expected from January 11 to February 27, 2027 and from April 7 to May 6, 2029.

♎ SCALES. During this period, relationships with other people come to the fore, so you often have to return to the past in this regard and revise something. New acquaintances at this time (especially if the goal is a serious relationship, marriage) is not the best idea, because people can leave very quickly. Do not look for new relationships, but work with old ones. This will bring much more benefit, help you look at relationships from a different perspective. There is a possibility of conflicts due to the ardor and impulsiveness of Mars.

♏ SCORPIO. In this sign, Mars usually brings a lot of tension, and when retrograde, all these tensions come out very easily. At this time, it is important to stop and correctly calculate your strength, as it is very easy to run out of steam or lose the right direction. There may be all sorts of unpleasant circumstances, including fatal ones, that are difficult to influence, but in general, it is now important to carefully weigh everything and think before acting. It is dangerous to start a new business, embark on a new project, or start working in a new position, as there is little hope of success.

♐ SAGITTARIUS. During this period, Mars may also not be the best assistant for new beginnings, although the desire to act will be very strong. At this time, it is easy to overestimate your strength, and all new plans have great risks of remaining just plans. That is why, with Mars retrograde in Sagittarius, you should act very carefully and better according to the plans that you have already built before! Do not take on large projects, because they will not be up to you. Also, this is not the best time to start new journeys, especially with a static Mars.

Mars retrograde in Sagittarius is expected from July 27 to August 2, 2033. During this period, Mars will be more static than retrograde!

♑ CAPRICORN. During this period, you should also not set yourself too large and long-term goals, because they can change very quickly, or circumstances can interfere with their implementation. The best thing at this time is to go about your routine, continue what you started, calmly do your job and not rush anywhere. The transition to a new job or to a new position is not recommended, as some unpleasant circumstances may come up, or there may be much more work than expected.

♒ AQUARIUS. In this sign, Mars pushes people to rebellious acts and to fight for freedom, both personal and collective. However, with Mars retrograde, instability in society can be more serious, the likelihood of various mass demonstrations will increase as well as the danger of accidents, cataclysms and natural disasters. Failure of technology can lead to all sorts of problems. At this time, you should not succumb to recklessness, because excessive freedom can turn negatively against the person himself. During this period, it is good to engage in various Internet projects, but it is better to continue and develop what was started in the past.

Mars retrograde in Aquarius was observed from June 27 to August 13, 2018. The next time it will not be soon - from July 16 to September 13, 2050.

♓ FISH. During this period, human activity may become unobtrusive. If you have to start something serious, be on the lookout, because your new project may go unnoticed. It is good to repeat some actions that you have already taken in the past: it is likely that what did not work out will work out now. However, during this period, things that were hidden or invisible in the past may come up, the truth will be revealed, including not always partial. Any new business started at this time will develop extremely unevenly, putting you out of patience.

Retrograde Mars in the natal chart

According to statistics, people with retrograde Mars in the birth chart are not very common. Someone even calculated that for about 18-20 natal charts only one you will see Mars in a retrograde position, and in a static position - even less often. Here are some features associated with retro Mars in the horoscope:

• The main thing that can be said about these people is that it is very difficult for them to see and understand the adequate results of their actions. In fact, a person, of course, gets a result, but he always has the feeling that he can achieve more.

• Mentally, these people constantly return to what has already been completed, and think that they could do or do some work better.

• Also, with this position of Mars, a person can hesitate when he needs to act. This may also be due to a lack of strength and energy for action. Sometimes a person begins to act when there is no special need for this.

• People with Mars retrograde find it more difficult to act on their own, usually they are adjacent to someone else, work well in a team or in pairs. However, they are usually good at organizing others. They do not like to stick out and demonstrate their actions openly, they act as if behind the scenes, while doing their job well. For example, people with retrograde Mars are good to go to coaching: achieve your goals and set records through someone else.

• These people also get used to putting everything off until later, which is why at some point a fairly large amount of various unresolved tasks accumulate around them.

• They also often confuse important issues with minor issues, failing to prioritize.

Karmic astrology suggests that a person with retrograde Mars in the natal chart has already gained experience in areas related to Mars, but this experience was not entirely correct: something was left to be done incorrectly and now he needs to do "bug fixes". Perhaps a person wasted his strength and energy thoughtlessly, without thinking about the consequences.

Special mention should be made of those who were born with static Mars. If a person was born in the first parking lot - when Mars turns from a direct position to retrograde, then not the most pleasant qualities of Mars - aggressiveness, impulsiveness, conflict, as well as increased sexuality can be noticeable in his character.

These qualities, most likely, are well known to him from past incarnations, but he has not yet understood how to act differently. Therefore, in this life there will be situations that will teach him do not provoke conflict and solve problems in a different way.

People with such Mars know how to act, because they already have experience, but, as a rule, they cannot show themselves to the fullest, or they show up with difficulty, even with considerable talents.

If a person is born near a reversal from retro to direct movement - in the second station of Mars, he, as a rule, always has good congenital data to action and activity. However, he will not act too assertively, he will save energy, he will look at everything and doubt. This person has already gone through a lot, has good skills, but he also has a very extensive experience of failures.

People of the "second station of Mars" learn quickly, they seem to remember that experience which they have already gone through. They excel in Martian professions (athletes, surgeons, etc.) or may use Martian activities as hobbies (eg playing sports for themselves, doing things with their hands - hand made areas).

Advice for people who have retrograde Mars in their birth chart

1) You must be very careful monitor the health, as there may be difficulties with the distribution of energy. You can work very long and hard, underestimating your capabilities. Restoration of forces goes more slowly, than it would be desirable.

2) Acting actively and assertively, it is worth evaluating the reaction of the outside world: if the people around you react negatively to your actions, it is better to stop them, as you will spend too much energy wasted and you will regret it later.

3) Sports activities will help you become more energetic, it is worth maintaining the ability to be in shape at any time. If you are not a professional athlete, sports should not be too strenuous, because then you will not have more energy.

4) Do not fuss too much, and if your strength is running out, you should not load yourself with a lot of things: you will quickly spend all your energy and you can feel increased fatigue. Rest at the right time will help save and properly expend energy and accumulate energy for further action.

5) Don’t worry if some things don’t work out for you right away: it’s worth trying to start over and on the second round everything may turn out to be much more successful!

Retrograde Mars in a man

Retrograde Mars in a man's horoscope, especially if it is not damaged by pests, gives a man non-conflict and non-aggression. This person keeps all irritations from the outside world to himself, but this is not always good, because unsplashed aggression can destroy a person from the inside.

Men with retro Mars are often quite indecisive. It is more difficult for them to take action actively and assertively, they many different doubts and sometimes they don't even try to act where it's needed, says the site's astrologer. It is best to act not for show, not explicitly, not to advertise your actions, then there will be more confidence.

Men with retro Mars in the horoscope may well choose a “Martian” profession, in which it is important to follow the regimes, be persistent and patient, or act not directly, but through someone (the profession of a coach has already been mentioned).

Retrograde Mars in a woman

For women, this position of Mars in the horoscope may not feel as painful as for men who need to be more active in life. Since Mars in a female chart indicates ideal type of man, then retrograde Mars may indicate that a woman does not want to see an obvious macho with an assertive and aggressive character next to her. She will much more like calm men who do not climb on the rampage and who, by the way, are easier to manage.

Mars retrograde periods 2020-2029

From September 10 to November 13, 2020 in the sign of Aries

Back Mars. It is worth being careful. During these periods, people are often impatient, tense, irritable, impulsive, passive-aggressive, or argumentative. Mechanical devices purchased during this time are more likely to break or suffer accidents. Sexual activity can be detrimental. Lawsuits and lawsuits initiated during Mars retrograde tend to turn against the plaintiff. Aggression often turns against the aggressor. Travel can be dangerous; the venture started may be damaged by conflict or hostility. See also the article by Natalia Zhukovich "The period of retrograde Mars, or the calm before the storm" (section Library)

The following is an excerpt from the book. Stephen Arroyo, Retrograde planets
Retrograde Mars
The period of revolution of Mars around the Sun is 22 months. Once during this time, it becomes "retrograde" or reverses (as we see it) as it misses the Earth, which has a shorter orbit. This usually happens once every 22 months.
Negative effects of retrograde Mars.
Basically, it's a voltage switch. The first experience people show, especially if a Mars transit happens to be in conjunction or opposition to one of their natal planets in their astrological chart, is a LOSS OF ENERGY. It's very real. You can think of Mars as a helium-filled balloon and a retrograde, pin-pierced balloon. All the "air" or "fire" comes out of the balloon and it descends and falls listlessly to the ground. That is how you will feel. Let's see what can happen to our list of Mars:
1. Physical energy is not so accessible. Or, your energy is quickly depleted. You cannot do as much as you did before. You should rest or nap more often and take breaks from work.
2. Deeds and undertakings are put off, due to the lack of energy necessary to achieve your goal / dream. Nothing works for you. All the "steam" and the flow of energy aimed at creating something suddenly disappears mysteriously and quickly.
3. No matter how hard you try to MOVE, nothing works. It's like anything that is stagnant or very slow developing, or not responding quickly as usual to your energy or your contribution to the project.
4. This is the WORST time to start a new business, start something new, new idea, book, because it will just waste and drain you like a leaky balloon. Nothing will work.
5. Where life seemed to move at a fast pace, and everything went on continuously - now it will not go like this. Everything will slow down. Like it's slowing down. But that's not to say it's bad - when things slow down, you get to swallow more deeply, instead of just taking a quick big sip of water and running away. The timing of Mars gives you the opportunity to go much DEEPER into what it is, holding your attention or responsibility. There is a reason for this even after, even if you or I do not know what time it is.
6. You won't have the "push", "kick" or "passion" you had before Mars went retrograde. The volume is reduced - moving backwards.
7. Your usual spontaneity comes second and simmers.
8. Your "engine" is revving.
9. You will need more rest than usual.
10. You will need more sleep than usual.
11. You will feel like the "Hanged Man" of the Tarot cards - suspended by his feet, hanging in mid-air and having no way to descend or change this position.
12. You will be like in a cocoon - in stagnation. This is a period of waiting for a push, a stimulus.
13. You will be less likely to fight, be aggressive or be able to resist aggression. At this time, you will get the opportunity to live yourself and let others live.
14. Sexual activity may decrease; don't worry - it will come back when Mars is straight. Consider it a vacation.
15. Your energy will be slowed down, and accumulated, and not spent as before. I call this time "paper bag". As if you are in a huge, invisible paper bag, for you now everything is not going according to schedule or not right.
16. Projects fall behind and crawl. Things that were supposed to be done can't be done. This is not the best time either to start a new project. It will fail unfortunately. Wait and be patient until Mars turns direct.
17. Injury from weapons, fire, fire, and machines is likely during the retrograde and direct movement of Mars
18. It's time to switch Life from a preference for the outside. You turn inward (like a bear, you go into hibernation to connect with your powerful subconscious) and affect your inner "world".
19. Consider this period of external stagnation as an opportunity to do your homework on your own. This is an excellent time for therapy, for bringing out the deep, ingrained style of hurtful behavior that you have been carrying like a good friend. I reviewed a lot myself during this time.
20. Your animal instinct may not work as sensitively as before - so think 2 or 3 times before you agree to anything. REALLY appreciate it, be patient and wait it out, if you don't feel it, it's against you.
21. Your masculine energy will go dormant. This is a good time to switch to your feminine energy (heightened sensitivity, intuition) blind as a bat. You still know where you are going and use it. It will keep you out of trouble if you heed it. If you are a male; You probably won't listen, and as a result, you'll hit a few brick walls before you learn to pay more attention to that quiet female voice within you.
22. The outside world, all its demands on you, will be significantly weakened during this period. This is good news - it gives you time to finish up a lot of unfinished business that has been sitting around begging for attention for months - so use this "quiet period" as a mop for the mess you made back in the day.....
23. You can be more vulnerable and vulnerable to STRESS -- so get out of it, take care of yourself, use your downtime, cherish yourself and rest... if you don't, then....
24. Your immune system will be weakened during this period. You cannot cope with the normal workloads and demands placed on you by life. This is a good time to consider supplementing with Vitamin C (3,000mg daily) and pantothenic acid (250mg daily), which feed your adrenals directly so they can handle the stress you can't handle as well as You used to do it. When the period of Mars retrograde is over, stop taking the aforementioned vitamins. Your adrenal glands will then cope without help.
25. First of all, this is the time of maturation; similar to pregnancy. Powerful movement to a deep, inner subconscious level. This is the reason why you are in a throw-away bag and suspended and nothing seems to work out for you as you thought and hoped for. The inner energies now hatching within you need time to form and create the outer physical activity - which you will need when Mars becomes direct.
26. Most of all, during a Mars retrograde, have patience with yourself, yourself and others. Patience is the key to this period. If you do this, you will have fun, lie in a hammock, watch the clouds float in the blue sky and use this energy properly.
Overcoming retrograde Mars.
It's actually pretty easy. You understand that you will not have everything, that the energy that you had before with you will decrease accordingly. You also know that nothing will go right in your life - either professionally or on your own. There will be deviations, delays, changes - but if you remain flexible and in touch with your inner intuition, you will get through this period just fine.
Those stubborn, stubborn or just plain stupid who refuse to change their gait for a walking drummer who beats much less now can get into real trouble with this retrograde.

Mars retrograde or the calm before the storm!

Retrograde motion is the visible (apparent) reverse motion of the planet. A retrograde planet is perceived from Earth as moving backward from its normal annual motion along the ecliptic. During the retrograde movement of the planet, it is not worth starting something new or moving forward in matters related to the retrograde planet. It is better to return to what has already been done, finish what is not completed or correct shortcomings and review your achievements. Below is an astrological forecast and recommendations for the retrograde period of each of the planets. But we must remember that the most powerful influence is exerted by the retrograde periods of Mercury, Venus and Mars. Remember to base your plans with these retrograde planets in mind.

During periods of Mars retrograde, people are impatient, tense, irritable, impulsive, passive-aggressive, or argumentative. Lawsuits and lawsuits initiated during Mars retrograde tend to turn against the plaintiff. Aggression is turned against the aggressor. Travel can be dangerous. The venture that has been started may suffer damage from conflict or hostility. Sexual activity can be detrimental.
Mechanical devices purchased at this time are more likely to break or suffer accidents. Mars retrograde is not good for buying a car.
With Mars retrograde, it is advisable to avoid elective surgery, as the result of the operation may not be what you expect and often unfavorable.

A person who has retrograde Mars in the chart will face the problem of the correct distribution of those insignificant forces that are given with such an arrangement throughout his life. A retrograde planet indicates that in the past incarnation, her energy was spent too wastefully and often thoughtlessly. One can imagine a warrior who left all his forces on the battlefield, destroying enemies, or a magician who used the same forces to prove and demonstrate his power, to achieve superiority over the world. It could also be a desperate duelist, looking for adventure and not always wisely spending his energy.

Knowing how to influence those around him through a vividly manifested activity, demonstrating himself and putting his Ego forward, he did not think about the consequences and hoped for success, believing that the most important thing in life is strength. In any case, such actions violated the natural balance of forces in the system of energy connections - the system of subtle bodies - and created tension both in the internal space of the subject and at the external level. Possessing a huge amount of energy, constantly feeling an excess of power in himself, a person, apparently, often used it without thinking about the consequences. He was never worried about the meaning and quality of any of his active manifestations.

The most important thing was the process of action itself, allowing you to vividly express yourself. At the same time, a person did not always clearly realize what destruction his activity could lead to, he lived according to the principle: action for the sake of action itself. In this incarnation, retrograde Mars indicates a weak energy of all bodies, a distorted perception of one's own states, a person's inability to correctly assess their capabilities and reasonably use what the planet offers. Any retrograde planet, as mentioned earlier, is a kind of force conductor that works actively in only one direction - from outer space to the center, i.e. to the subjective realm.

Accordingly, when it comes to Mars, the planet that controls, first of all, any manifested action, then this action, in its retrograde position, will always be clearly indicated only in the inner reality of a person and perceived correctly only by himself, but not by the outside world. We must remember that every action we take is a natural reaction to the changes taking place around us. Moreover, such a reaction is always formed with the help of Mars and looks like some kind of manifested activity. At the same time, the first moment of our inclusion in the action is very important, the very impulse that prompts us to open manifestation, born inside and carried out outside with the help of this planet. With a retrograde Mars, it will always seem to a person that he is active, but the outer space will not perceive such activity due to the fact that the impulse, as already mentioned, is very weak and the flow of force carrying it is turned inward.

This is the main feature of such a situation, which does not allow one to correctly correlate the internal state, one's forces with the requirements of objective reality, and a person often simply does not understand and does not accept the manifestations of the external world in relation to himself. The state of his ego is such that it needs constant active expression of itself, but since not much energy is given for this, then distortions arise in the perception of it by the world, and sometimes irritation coming from outside.

Katya Rogova, a sincere fighter against retrograde, is dedicated to

The deeds of people are like the waves of the ocean,
Subject to ebb and flow.
Take the tide - and success
Will answer you with a smile;
With the ebb, all your swimming
Will be transformed into a hard struggle
With troubles and hardships.

Shakespeare "Julius Caesar"

When it rains in the upper reaches, the river foams. If you want to cross, wait until the river calms down.

Sun Tzu "The Art of War"

Mars is responsible for the power aspect of our existence, including our ability to purposefully invest energy to achieve our goals. But once every twenty-two months, it reverses its movement, changing the course of our lives. As a rule, this naturally coincides with those moments when we have exhausted the potential for movement forward and need to renew energy and change course. However, the effects that occur when the planet slows down, stops and moves back are most often perceived by us negatively.

It is natural for us to overcome obstacles, building movement from the past into the future, and Mars helps us by filling us with the strength that we expend. But during the period of retrograde, Mars works in a different mode, it seems to create a vacuum ahead, which deprives us of strength if we continue to stubbornly move forward. And when we wait for a new portion of Martian energy to replace the spent one, count on it, it, having deceived our expectations, does not come.

The slowdown of processes, the return of seemingly completed plots, the inability to quickly get the desired result, can cause various feelings: irritation, despair, aggression towards oneself and the world around. It is important to remember that this state of affairs is, firstly, inevitable, and secondly, temporarily.

In the event area

The retrograde of Mars is the longest among the personal planets, so it stops for a long time and manages to pick up high speed during the reverse motion. Because of this, the inhibition process first goes unnoticed (and we have time to make many mistakes), and then the high speed in the loop causes us to quickly accumulate tension, which leads to aggression and conflicts. Therefore, it is important for us to remember the signs of the beginning of the retro-motion of the planet:

A pause in current affairs, sometimes conscious and planned, but more often forced. Or a noticeable inhibition of the usual things.
An atypical course of events, unforeseen circumstances arise that require additional energy costs.
The direction of movement is lost, the goals become incomprehensible, it is not possible to get a quick adequate return on one's efforts.
Events from the past are taking place, situations similar to those in which we were active participants are being created. Often we feel a need or need to partly relive past stories.
Longtime rivals, competitors, partners appear - those who once stimulated our activity.
Incomplete cases are activated that require rework or correction of errors.
Performance drops, we need more rest and sleep than usual
Sexual activity decreases, male energy falls into hibernation.
Diseases acquire a protracted, sluggish character. Injuries require a longer recovery period
More often than usual, engines and power mechanisms break down and fail. Accidents and breakdowns require more time to diagnose and effort to troubleshoot

Psychological features

Retrograde Mars creates a strong internal tension that we cannot realize in the usual way, and thus, as if deprives us of energy. We can feel like a balloon being pierced by a pin, physically feel our life force flowing out, and we remain completely de-energized. However, in fact, the energy level remains very high, so this position of Mars is dangerous.

Hence the high accident rate and conflict during the period of retrograde, when the suppressed energy suddenly breaks out. But, since we do not have the skill of how to manage such energy, the aggression shown on retro-Mars often turns against the aggressor himself, who failed to calculate his strength.

We can experience strong discomfort from our energy insolvency, inefficiency, inability to carry out our plans, lead a familiar life and quickly carry out current affairs. The reaction to this is often auto-aggression, which leads to injuries and exacerbations of chronic diseases.

The situations that arise during this period reveal unresolved internal conflicts, accumulated tension and dead-end approaches to problem solving. In conditions when the usual "power" approach does not work, we are forced to look for a different way of action.

Very often, during the retrograde period, we experience states, behave in a way that we have not experienced for many years, how we have not behaved for many years. This return to past stereotypes can lead to depression, as we get the feeling that all our achievements in recent years have been in vain.

inner meaning

It is important to understand that the energy flow that a retrograde planet gives is different. In fact, the Martian energy does not disappear anywhere, we can say that its flow changes direction and begins to push us back, helping to return to our past and do some work there.

Such an opportunity is unique in many respects, because the correction of past experience under normal conditions requires special techniques and conditions, and here the corresponding circumstances develop by themselves. On the other hand, it is precisely in the moments of slow Mars, when the impact of external forces on us is minimal, that we can gather enough potential inside to change the direction of our movement, to re-set ourselves the tasks that we once could not solve.

Thus, the lethargy that occurs during this period is a normal phenomenon, since the stage of changing directions requires revision of the results achieved, understanding and correction of previous mistakes, and not the usual movement forward. Moreover, building up momentum, trying to force one's forces at this moment, is a refusal to do an unusual, but now important work.

In fact, the only way we can help the planet, which is revising our experience, is to track incoming events, fix our energy states, and look for answers to emerging questions. One way or another, whether we like it or not, the direction of our movement will still change. We can, if we wish, find the most comfortable way for us to accomplish this task and, if possible, remove the reasons that prevent our energy from flowing in a given direction.

You can compare the period of retrograde with the likeness of pregnancy. The powerful inner energies being grown within us at this moment need time to form and create the outer physical reality that will be needed when Mars becomes upright.

Singular points

There are three stages of retrograde. The first is when the planet slows down to a complete stop. The second is when it moves in the opposite direction. The third is when it stops again and returns to a straight line.

At the first stage, we find that we are no longer satisfied with the way of acting to which we are accustomed. Perhaps we find that we are faced with a global problem that cannot be solved in the way we are used to.

At the second, a review of the experience accumulated in the past begins in order to search for the causes of the situation that has arisen. At this stage, we are forming and accepting for execution a new approach to the implementation of our Martian energy, which will become a program for us for at least two years.

At the third stage, we gradually unfold our program, learn to act in a new way, and hone the stereotype we have accumulated.

The points at which Mars is practically stationary are especially important, because at these moments we have practically no forces, and therefore we react to very subtle influences. It is at these moments that we become aware of the most subtle aspects of our problems, the key points on which in ordinary periods, having high energy, we are not able to focus. At the same time, there is a disconnection from some and connection to other energy sources.

Start a new project that requires action or sustained effort
Register a new enterprise or organization, hire employees
Make scheduled operations
Buy and donate devices and mechanisms for repair
Start building or renovating
Organize sports events or team trainings
File lawsuits, initiate confrontation
Change job
Make long-distance business trips
Start courtship, win a partner

Instead, it will be useful:

Observe a sparing regimen at work, give yourself more rest - each movement “forward” now takes away a greater amount of strength that needs to be restored.
Put things in order, finish unfinished projects, perform routine, well-known operations.
Try to create a training project that may never be completed.
Get a temporary job to try yourself in some other capacity.
Use relaxing massage, relaxation techniques to relieve accumulated physical and mental stress.
Resume yoga classes to regulate energy.
Practice meditation as a way to find inner solutions to problems.
Keep a diary and record current events, feelings, thoughts, in order to understand in which direction to move on.
Accept your insecurity, lethargy, lack of perspective as normal, do not punish yourself for not being able to achieve a result.

Retrograde marks a rare, very important period when we accumulate energy potential, preparing to change the course of our lives. During the period when we are practically deprived of the opportunity to act, there is a change in our energy, therefore, after the planet leaves the loop, we find that we have become different. Something has come, something has gone irreversibly, forever. Along the way, we manage to live through a certain number of situations and emotions that owned us in the past. Living them once again now, we finally part with this fragment of our history, free ourselves from the blocks and tensions associated with it.

When Mars begins its normal movement, we naturally expect that the signal “attack!” will now sound, our energy level will increase, and everything will be fine. In reality, we need some time to feel our new energy, get used to it and understand what we are now going to do. But we must be prepared that after a while, Mars, which has gained speed, can give us a very sharp impetus in the chosen direction.

When leaving the loop, Mars will enable

Once again try to achieve goals that once seemed unattainable.
Deal with areas of trouble that are in the field of our attention
See new promising projects and tools for their implementation
Attract new partners for these tasks
Change the sphere of application of forces, including changing jobs
Men - to discover their male potential in a new way
Women - to understand what type of male partner they need now

Mars goes retrograde between April 17 and June 29. This phenomenon occurs every two years. While the planet has entered another cycle, we will talk about the impact of this phenomenon on our lives.

Earthlings sometimes observe the movement of large planets backwards. This astronomical phenomenon is due to different speeds of movement of celestial bodies. Thus, the movement in the opposite direction of Mars, Saturn, Venus, Mercury and other planets is an optical illusion. This phenomenon is well known to fans of rail travel.

When a train passenger looks out the window at a train moving in the same direction, but at a lower speed, the illusion is created that the second train is moving in the other direction. The same happens with the planets. In fact, retrograde Mars does not change direction - it enters the most distant part of its orbit.

Humans are most affected by the three retrograde planets

Not all planets can exert the greatest influence on us. The most powerful retrogrades are Mars, Mercury and Venus. At this time, people feel differently, they are more exposed to the energy of the planet. Next, we learn in more detail what changes can occur under the influence of retrograde Mars.

The energy of the male planet gives willpower, courage, aggression, passion and anger.

Mars is a masculine planet and is responsible for making decisions in life. This celestial body is often associated with moving forward along the path and achieving goals. Mars is also associated with carnal pleasures. During the retrograde period of the planet, people need to make adjustments in these areas. We must look back, analyze the situation and make the necessary changes. This will allow you to make further movement more rationally and deliberately.

During Mars Retrograde, People Should Not Plan New Beginnings

During this period, people will be exposed to circumstances and events that happened from February 17 to April 17. It is they who will be responsible for the energy. But any new initiatives and undertakings are either doomed to failure or will face insurmountable obstacles. Therefore, postpone all new projects until the end of June. Astrologers warn that the retrograde period is not a good time for new things, but it is great for reviewing and adjusting old ones. Therefore, if you have projects postponed until better days, you can make changes and amendments to them.

For whom will this period be especially difficult?

People who have an assertive nature may experience certain difficulties. Retrograde Mars will exacerbate internal tension. The risk group includes Aries and Scorpios, born under the auspices of the planet. For Scorpios, the influence of Mars will be noticeable for some time after the period of retrograde.

Who will be productive?

However, 15% of the world's population is still incredibly lucky. If you were born during a period when Mars was retrograde (you can find out from the astrological natal chart or personal horoscope), the coming time will become more productive for you. At a given time interval, these people receive feedback from the Universe. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on unusual phenomena, look for signs and clues. All this will allow you to further expand your capabilities in the future.

Movement from Sagittarius to Scorpio

Mars retrograde begins in the constellation Sagittarius and ends in the constellation Scorpio. The main point on the route will be Antares, the brightest star that can be seen from Earth. The red luminary of the first magnitude corresponds to the character of Mars itself. The star Antares is associated with power, control, reward and success.

Other features

Getting started in the sign of Sagittarius promotes experience expansion, new perspectives, learning, travel, business, marketing and sales. Sometimes at this time people are prone to adventures. Before you venture out, make sure you are aligned with the energy of Mars.

On May 27, the planet enters the constellation Scorpio. At this time, people comprehend the changes made and affirm new values. There is a high probability of exchange of experience, at the same time there is a danger of revealing the dark sides of the personality. The specific retrograde possibility acts like a reflection.

Conclusion

Around the same time, Pluto begins retrograde in Capricorn. However, the influence of a distant planet, unlike Mars, will be almost imperceptible. During this period, people should think about their future, about their own position in life, about their path in the Universe. After June 29, Mars will continue its usual movement.
