⭑Hello Aries!⭑

Welcome to your MARS RETROGRADE 2024 walkthrough!

With Mars being your ruling planet, you are more affected than most when it turns retrograde. Kapag baliktad si Mars, everything slows down. Goals and tasks take much longer to accomplish, but don’t worry! If navigated well, you’ll emerge from this wiser, stronger, and happier.


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 5th House, before moving back into Cancer, highlighting your 4th House.

This transition brings focus to areas of creativity, joy, and personal expression, as well as home, family, and emotional foundations.

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!

Mars Rx through your 5th House

( December 7, 2024, to January 6, 2025)

The 5th House Represents:

Creativity ⭑ Hobbies and Personal Joy ⭑ Romance and Flirting ⭑ Pleasure ⭑ Children ⭑ Artistic Expression ⭑ Self-Confidence ⭑ Speculations and Risk-Taking ⭑ Passion Projects ⭑ Playfulness ⭑ Celebration and Fun ⭑ Dramatic Expression ⭑ Personal Talents

This is a time where small irritations can quickly spiral into significant conflicts, especially in relationships involving creative collaborations, romance, or family dynamics. Egos may clash fiercely, and attempts to control or dominate others could result in lasting damage. The emotional intensity of this period makes it essential to avoid impulsive reactions and to reflect carefully before taking action. Words spoken or decisions made in the heat of the moment might leave lasting consequences, so proceed with caution!

During this time, you may feel a creative block or a lack of motivation to enjoy activities you usually love. Relationships with children (if applicable) or romantic partners might experience tension. The first week, December 7–15, and then again from December 29, 2024 – January 6, 2025, demands particular caution, with a Mars-PLuto opposition forming. This alignment brings abrasive and explosive energy that can lead to intense confrontations, emotional outbursts, and sudden power struggles! This also overlaps with MERCURY still retrograde at this point, so magulo ang mga tao ngayon, baka pati ikaw magulo din, so take extra care with your interactions!

‼️Important reminders for the 5th House Phase:‼️

⭐️Revisit old hobbies or creative projects—bago mag-new venture, ayusin muna ang existing!

⭐️Avoid unnecessary drama in romantic relationships. Communication is key to avoiding misunderstandings!

⭐️ Be cautious with financial risks—hindi lahat ng ‘sugal’ panalo ngayon, in fact, losses are much more likely.

Mars Rx through your 4th House

(January 6, to February 24, 2025)

The 4th House Represents:

Home ⭑ Family ⭑ Real Estate and Property ⭑ Ancestry ⭑ Emotional Foundations ⭑ Inner Peace ⭑ Roots and Stability ⭑ Domestic Life ⭑ Parental Relationships ⭑ Personal Sanctuary ⭑ Security and Comfort ⭑ Nurturing Energy ⭑ Generational Legacy

This second phase of the retrograde finds Mars moonwalking back into your 4th house, possibly bringing up old family tensions or issues related to your home life. Mukhang kailangan mong mag-focus on repairs, maintenance, or reorganizing your space. Emotional triggers from the past could resurface, especially if unresolved conflicts within your family exist. Take time to nurture your emotional well-being—this is a great opportunity to reflect on what “home” truly means to you!

Creative solutions may arise, and you might find renewed inspiration to bring harmony to your domestic life. Use this time to rebuild trust, strengthen emotional bonds, and find peace in addressing long-standing issues.

For most of January, Mars retrograde forms a harmonious trine with Neptune, Venus, and Saturn, offering moments of healing, compassion, and practicality amidst the usual retrograde challenges. This alignment encourages you to approach family matters with empathy and understanding while also taking grounded, realistic steps to resolve conflicts.

‼️Important Reminders for the 4th House Phase:‼️

⭐️ Avoid impulsive home repairs or changes—assess carefully bago gumastos or gumawa ng malaking desisyon.

⭐️Revisit family dynamics. This is a chance to heal misunderstandings or strengthen bonds.

⭐️Focus on emotional self-care, pero ‘wag kalimutan ang sarili habang inaalagaan ang iba. ❤

Other Areas Affected by Mars Retrograde:

Mars also rules two other houses in your chart, so in a lesser degree, these areas are likely to experience slowdowns and challenges, too:

1st House: Physical body, self-image, personal goals, and how you present yourself to the world. Be mindful of physical energy—huwag pilitin kung pagod!

8th House: Intimacy, shared resources, debts, and transformation. Issues with joint finances or personal secrets might arise; approach with care and transparency.

Mars retrograde may test your patience, dear Aries, but it also offers a unique chance to refine your goals, heal old wounds, and reconnect with what truly matters. Every challenge you face now is shaping you into a wiser, more resilient version of yourself. Embrace the detours, trust in the process, and remember that slow progress is still progress! Your strength, determination, and fiery spirit will see you through—and when Mars moves direct, you’ll emerge ready to conquer the world!

⭑Good luck, Aries! You’ve got this. See you next retrograde!⭑
