Feel the tension rising? How about your anger levels—notice you're more easily flared up lately? Or maybe you’ve been simmering, defensive, unable to let certain things slide. That’s MARS RETROGRADE kicking in now, about to pull you back into the smouldering ruins of grievous age-old wars, triggered recently by a spate of inflamations, micro-spats and lose-lose disputes, unresolved desires, and a growing pattern of unchecked reactions.
It's beyond frustration now because, on some level, it's pushed you to the point where a full-blown examination of why you act the way you do, especially when it comes to love, sex, and power is absolutely necessary. If relationships have been a bit off-kilter, your energy levels are all over the place, then you know something's about to give. Mars going into retrograde is seldom subtle—it somehow drags your inner warrior's arse out into the fray and asks: Are you fighting the right fight? Is this the hill you want to die on??
Get set to revisit, recapitulate, and (hopefully) rebuild your whole plan of attack, i say...
