⭑Hello GEMINI!⭑

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 3rd House, before moving back into Cancer, highlighting your 2nd House.

This transition brings focus to themes of communication, learning, and daily interactions, as well as finances, resources, and your sense of self-worth.

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 3rd House

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

The 3rd House Represents:

Communication ⭑ Siblings ⭑ Learning and Knowledge ⭑ Daily Interactions ⭑ Short Journeys ⭑ Local Community ⭑ Writing and Speaking ⭑ Mindset ⭑ Technology and Information ⭑ Certifications

During this time, communication and your immediate environment take center stage. Delays, misunderstandings, or frustrations may arise in these areas, so it’s essential to double-check details and approach others with patience. Relationships with siblings, neighbors, or coworkers might feel strained, as old disagreements resurface. Short trips and errands could also feel complicated, with unexpected delays testing your patience.

Mars retrograde in this house encourages you to refine how you express yourself and address conflicts with clarity and empathy. For most of December, the opposition between Mars and Pluto (especially from December 7–15 and December 29–January 6) heightens tensions in conversations, possibly triggering power struggles or intense emotions. Be mindful of how you navigate sensitive topics during this time! Adding to the chaos, Mercury will also be retrograde during part of this phase, overlapping from December 7 to December 15. Magulo talaga ang mga tao ngayon, pati ikaw, magulo rin, so practice extra care in all your interactions!

Journaling or revisiting creative writing projects can bring clarity and relief. Use this time to streamline your mental processes and declutter your thoughts. Kapag tapos na ang retrograde, your communication style will feel less abrasive and more purposeful. ❤

‼️Important Reminders for the 3rd House Phase:‼️

⭐️ Double-check all written and verbal communications—misunderstandings are more likely now.

⭐️Be patient with delays in travel or daily tasks—have contingency plans if needed.

⭐️Avoid gossip or unnecessary debates that could escalate into conflicts. Focus on meaningful, productive exchanges.

Mars Rx through your 2nd House

(January 6, to February 24, 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 ⭑ Economic Independence ⭑ Spending Habits

As Mars retrogrades in your 2nd House, themes of money, resources, and self-worth become prominent. You may experience delays or frustrations with finances—income might fluctuate, expenses could pop up unexpectedly, or you might second-guess your spending habits. Buyer’s remorse is likely experienced in big, spontaneous purchases. It’s a good time to review your budget, realign your financial goals, and reflect on what you truly value.

This period also asks you to reflect on the emotional side of spending. 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 gastos ngayon. 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!

For most of January, Mars forms supportive trines with Neptune, Venus, and Saturn, helping you tap into inspiration and healing. Buti nalang. Use these energies to revisit financial strategies, redefine what stability means to you, and focus on long-term planning. Reflecting on your relationship with money now will set the stage for greater financial clarity when Mars goes direct!

‼️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. Slow down, double-check, and think things through carefully.

⭐️ Reflect on your spending habits. Reassess where your money goes and find ways to align it with your bigger goals. This phase is perfect for tightening things up and creating a stronger financial foundation.

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:

11th House: Friendships, networks, and aspirations. Group projects or social plans might hit delays, or you could feel disconnected from your circle. Focus on long-term goals and strengthening meaningful connections!

6th House: Work, health, and daily routines. Productivity might slow down, or health routines may need adjustment. Use this time to reassess habits and create sustainable strategies!

Mars retrograde may test your patience, dear Gemini, 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, GEMINI! You’ve got this! See you next retrograde!⭑
