⭑Hello CANCER!⭑

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 2nd House, before moving back into Cancer, highlighting your 1st House.

This transition brings focus to themes of finances, resources, self-worth, and your personal identity, energy, and approach to life.

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 2nd House

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

The 2nd House Represents:

Finances ⭑ Personal Resources ⭑ Income ⭑ Material Possessions ⭑ Self-Worth ⭑ Values ⭑ Stability ⭑ Earning Potential ⭑ Wealth Management ⭑ Investments ⭑ Financial Security ⭑ Tangible Assets ⭑ Possessions and Ownership ⭑ Material Priorities ⭑ Spending Habits

As Mars retrogrades in your 2nd House, money matters take center stage. You might notice delays in income, unexpected bills piling up, or buyer’s remorse creeping in after a spontaneous/imulsive purchase. It’s time to slow down and reassess your financial priorities!

This period asks you to reflect on the emotional side of spending, dear Cancer. Kailangan mo ba talaga ang mga pinagbibibili mo, or are you shopping to chase a temporary mood boost? Mars retrograde invites you to stop and think: are your purchases bringing joy or just filling an empty moment? Madaming din naman talagang gastos ngayon, Pasko din kasi. Instead of splurging, maybe it’s time to declutter, sell items you no longer use, or start saving for something meaningful—like that dream trip or a course you’ve been eyeing!

Adding intensity, Mars opposes Pluto in your 8th House from December 7–15 and December 29–January 6. This alignment can trigger power struggles over shared resources, debts, or emotional investments tied to money. Tensions might arise in financial agreements, especially if expectations haven’t been clearly communicated! Its best to stay calm and address conflicts with a practical mindset, especially since 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!

‼️Important Reminders for the 2nd House Phase:‼️

⭐️ Think twice before making big purchases or financial commitments! Ayaw natin ng “Sana pala hindi ko binili ’to!” moments. Focus on needs over wants for now.

⭐️ Avoid risky money moves! This isn’t the best time for investments or bold financial leaps.

• Reflect on your spending habits. Reassess where your money goes and find ways to align it with your bigger goals.

Mars Rx through your 1st House

(January 6, to February 24, 2025)

The 1st House Represents:

Identity ⭑ Self-Expression ⭑ Personal Appearance ⭑ Confidence ⭑ Independence ⭑ Physical Body ⭑ First Impressions ⭑ Self-Image ⭑ Personal Goals ⭑ Vitality ⭑ Courage ⭑ Leadership ⭑ Assertiveness ⭑ Individuality ⭑ Direction in Life ⭑ New Beginnings

As Mars moves into your 1st House, themes of identity, self-expression, and personal goals take center stage. You might feel a mix of determination and frustration—progress on personal projects may slow, or you could question your direction. Madali mainip. Energy levels could fluctuate, making it important to pace yourself and avoid burnout. Take this time to reassess your priorities, refine your plans, and ensure your actions align with the person you want to become.

This period also invites you to reflect on how you assert yourself. Confident ka ba in going after what you want, or do you sometimes second-guess your choices? Mars retrograde encourages a thoughtful approach: are your actions motivated by genuine passion or a need to prove something? Anger or impatience might surface now—be mindful of how you express these feelings. Use this time to develop healthier outlets for stress and frustration.

For most of January, Mars forms supportive trines with Neptune, Venus, and Saturn, giving you the chance to realign with your values and goals. Buti nalang! Use these energies to reflect on how you present yourself to the world, refine your personal style or image, and rebuild confidence in areas where it may have wavered. When Mars goes direct, you’ll be ready to move forward with clarity and purpose!

‼️Important Reminders for the 1st House Phase:‼️

⭐️ Pause and reflect before jumping into major personal changes! Mars Rx can stir up impatience, but acting too quickly may lead to “Sana pala naghintay ako” moments.

⭐️Avoid unnecessary conflicts! Mars retrograde can make tempers flare, so think before reacting. Focus on expressing yourself calmly and constructively.

⭐️ Postpone elective surgeries if possible. Mars retrograde may bring heightened risks, slower recoveries, or unexpected complications.

⭐️ You may be accident-prone during this period, so take extra caution, safety first always!

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:

10th House: Career, reputation, and public image. Professional projects may face delays, or you might feel stuck in achieving recognition. Use this time to refine long-term strategies and focus on what truly aligns with your goals.

5th House: Creativity, romance, and leisure. Inspiration might feel blocked, or romantic connections could require extra care and understanding. Slow down and enjoy the process without forcing outcomes!

Mars retrograde may test your patience, dear Cancer, but it’s also a powerful time to slow down and focus on what truly matters. Use this opportunity to revisit, refine, and rebuild in the affected areas! Trust that every delay or challenge is shaping you into a more resilient and grounded version of yourself. Take it one step at a time, and when Mars moves direct, you’ll be ready to shine brighter than ever!

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