Well, the end of 2024 is not very easy as one of the most ‘difficult’ planets of astrology has just begun his retrograde course! So, Mars retrograde periods can bring about challenges in areas related to aggression, conflicts, and energy. During these times, it’s important to be mindful of how you assert yourself and handle any potential conflicts that may arise. It’s also a good time for reflection and reassessment of your goals and desires.
December 06 2024 – January 06 2025: Mars Retrograde in Leo
When Mars goes retrograde in Leo, there may be a heightened focus on self-expression, creativity, and leadership. You may feel more inclined to assert yourself and take charge of situations, but there can also be challenges related to ego clashes or power struggles. It’s important to channel your energy in constructive ways and avoid confrontations that may lead to unnecessary conflicts.
January 06 – February 16 2025: Mars Retrograde in Cancer
On the other hand, when Mars goes retrograde in Cancer, the emphasis shifts towards emotions, home life, and security. You may find yourself more sensitive and reactive during this period, with a heightened focus on family dynamics and personal relationships. It’s a time to nurture yourself and others, but also be aware of potential mood swings or passive-aggressive behavior. Building a sense of emotional security and stability will be key during Mars retrograde in Cancer.
So who needs to be more careful ?
Let’s break this into 2 periods. The first from December 06 2024 – January 06 2025:
-
Leo, Aquarius, Taurus and Scorpio (especially Scorpio who are influenced the most)
These four zodiac signs will feel the red-blooded martian push in their lives. Leo’s pride may be affected while Aquarius charisma in relationships may also be challenged. At the same time, Taurus’s career can have increased (and probably unpaid) responsibilities whilst Scorpio may have feel some cosmic slaps, which may initially feel harsh but can readjust them in their universal path.
The first from January 06 2025 – February 16 2025:
-
Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn (especially Aries and Capricorn – less- who are influenced the most)
So, during the second part of the retrograde course of Mars, Aries and Capricorn who are influenced by the red planet will feel otherworldly power in their soul trying to come out like a wildfire. However they do need to be more careful and use this power for internal healing and overcoming obstacles. Now, Libra and Cancer will also feel that their professional relationships maybe in stake, yet this is not the entire truth.
Let’s see the predictions from December 06 2024 – January 06 2025
This is one the most important shifts of the year.
So, Mars in Leo is Fire and more Fire! When Mars transits through Leo can energize our self-expression, creativity, and passion. We may feel more confident, assertive, and eager to pursue your goals during this time. This transit can also increase our desire for attention and recognition. Maybe we will catch ourselves daydreaming of admiration from others. However, be mindful of coming across as overly aggressive or domineering during this transit, as Mars in Leo can sometimes amplify ego-driven behaviors.
Mars Direct in Leo:
- Keywords: recognition, admiration, bravery
Mars Retrograde in Leo:
- Keywords: self-doubt, passive-aggressiveness, troubles expressing yourself
But now, things are changed: When Mars goes retrograde in Leo, there may be a noticeable impact on your creativity, self-expression, and leadership abilities. You might find yourself reassessing how you assert yourself and pursue your passions. Initially, you may struggle with issues of pride, ego, and self-confidence during this time. Also, you may experience a slowdown or reevaluation of your creative projects or endeavors. It could be a good time to reflect on your creative goals and find new inspiration.
Furthermore, the next 4 weeks can prompt you to reassess your leadership style and approach. Take the time to reflect on how you exert your influence and make adjustments if needed. Moreover, in matters of love and relationships, there may be challenges related to romance, passion, and drama. Lastly, you may feel a lack of motivation or energy during Mars retrograde in Leo. It’s essential to pace yourself and avoid burning out.
Mars in Leo: November 03 2024 – January 06 2025
So as Mars was in Gemini from July 20 to September 4, 2024, this was a pretty good time for intellectual work, social activities, networking, and expressing your opinions effectively. However, Mars can also brought impulsiveness, restlessness, and scattered energy. Now things get deeper. When Mars transits through Cancer, you may find yourself prioritizing emotional connections and family matters. You may feel more protective and defensive of your loved ones during this time, and may also be more sensitive to others’ feelings. It can be a good period to take action towards creating a safer and more nurturing environment at home or in your personal life. However, be mindful of any tendencies towards moodiness or passive-aggressiveness, and try to channel Mars’ energy in constructive ways that support your emotional well-being. It’s a time for taking care of yourself and your relationships with empathy and assertiveness.
Chronicles of power exchange
During Mars’ transit through Leo from November 3, 2024, to December 6, 2024, you may experience a period of heightened energy, drive, and passion in the areas of life related to Leo in your birth chart. This is a time when you may feel more confident, assertive, and motivated to pursue your goals with enthusiasm.
However, once Mars goes retrograde on December 6, 2024, it can bring a shift in how this energy is expressed. Mars retrograde periods are often associated with delays, frustrations, and the need to reevaluate your actions and goals. You may find that your drive and motivation are not as straightforward as they were during the direct transit, and you may need to revisit your plans and approach things from a different perspective.
When Mars reenters Cancer on January 6, 2025, the focus of your energy and drive will shift towards the emotional and sensitive areas of life represented by Cancer in your natal chart. This can be a time when you feel more protective of your loved ones, more in tune with your emotions, and more focused on creating a sense of security and stability in your life.
The usual trap is that when driven by enthusiasm we may tend to get our swords and embark on conquests. Although this might be extremely beneficial it can also lead us to deal with our issues impulsively. So remember, when blood rushes in your brain, remember to ground yourself and work with mediation.
Who should be EXTRA careful?
Aquarius, Leo, Taurus and Scorpio need to be more careful. All four Zodiac Signs should avoid conflicts and try to direct their energy in a more constructive way. Practice grounding daily. Especially Scorpio need to be more vigilant as your traditional governor’s powers (Mars) are restrained.
Who gets the most blessings?
Sagittarius, and Aries (as your governor’s powers are magnified) are the signs who get the most blessings out of this transit helping them move forward and use their creativity in a constructive way.
Are you amongst the signs above? Or you do you have your Moon or Rising sign there?
