⭑Hello CAPRICORN!⭑

Welcome to your MARS RETROGRADE 2024 walkthrough!

Mars, the planet of vitality and action, shifts its pace during retrograde, turning challenges into opportunities for reflection and growth. Kapag bumaliktad si Mars, everything slows down—tasks take longer, and goals seem harder to reach. But don’t worry! With the right mindset, this period can help you emerge not just stronger, but also wiser and more resilient.

Mars begins its 2-part retrograde journey, impacting two significant houses in your natal chart. The retrograde period emphasizes reflection and adjustment in these areas, rather than forward momentum! It starts in Leo, influencing your 8th House, before moving back into Cancer, highlighting your 7th House.

This transition brings focus to themes of shared resources, intimacy, and transformation, followed by a shift to partnerships, commitments, and one-on-one relationships.

This retrograde can feel like a season of lethargy—malamig, maulan, tapos parang walang gana to push forward. Mars retrograde often restricts energy and momentum, making even small tasks feel monumental! Minsan, kahit maximum effort, minimum results pa rin. It’s best to postpone major endeavors before or after this period. Reflection and review are your allies!

Power struggles over money or shared responsibilities could arise, highlighting imbalances that can no longer be ignored!

This retrograde can also unearth deeply buried fears, unresolved emotional patterns, or control issues tied to vulnerability. You might be confronted with situations that force you to let go of old attachments or face uncomfortable truths about trust and dependence. Mars doesn’t allow for avoidance; instead, it pushes you to confront these issues directly, even if it feels messy or overwhelming. Transformation can feel like a battlefield, pero it’s through this confrontation that real growth emerges.

Adding intensity, Mars opposes Pluto in your 2nd House from December 7–15, and again on December 29–January 6. This alignment could spark conflicts around financial independence versus shared responsibilities, pushing you to find a balance between self-reliance and collaboration. Be mindful of emotional triggers during this time, as suppressed frustrations may come to light. Mercury is still retrograde too, overlapping with Mars Rx from December 7 to December 15. Magulo talaga ang mga tao ngayon, baka pati ikaw, magulo rin, so practice extra care in all your interactions!
