⭑Hello LIBRA!⭑

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 11th House, before moving back into Cancer, highlighting your 10th House.

This transition brings focus to themes of friendships, social networks, and aspirations, followed by a shift to career, reputation, and public achievements.

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!

Friendships ⭑ Social Networks ⭑ Community Involvement ⭑ Collective Goals ⭑ Aspirations ⭑ Hopes for the Future ⭑ Collaboration ⭑ Group Dynamics ⭑ Teamwork ⭑ Humanitarian Efforts ⭑ Mentorship ⭑ Networking ⭑ Allies and Support Systems ⭑ Shared Visions ⭑ Long-term Dreams


As Mars retrogrades in your 11th House, the focus shifts to your social circles, friendships, and long-term goals. This period may highlight unresolved tensions within group settings or collaborations, as miscommunications or differing priorities come to the surface. Dear Libra, take a step back and evaluate your connections—are they truly aligned with your values and aspirations, or are they holding you back from the future you envision? Be mindful of any power dynamics within your social networks, as Mars retrograde often asks you to reexamine the balance of give and take in your groups and associations.

This retrograde may also lead to questioning your long-term dreams or involvement in collective projects. Are your goals realistic, or do they need refinement to match your current priorities? You might find yourself reassessing the role you play within your community or the expectations placed on you by your peers. This is a time to focus on quality over quantity in your social interactions, dear Libra, prioritizing connections that support your growth and long-term aspirations. Challenges during this phase can ultimately help you cultivate stronger, more meaningful relationships.

Adding intensity, Mars opposes Pluto in your 5th House from December 7–15 and December 29–January 6. This alignment can create tension between your personal creativity, romantic life, or self-expression and the collective demands of your social world. Power struggles or emotional conflicts may surface in group dynamics or personal endeavors. Avoid impulsive reactions and take a step back to maintain balance. 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!
