⭑Hello SCORPIO!⭑

Welcome to your MARS RETROGRADE 2024 walkthrough!

Mars, the planet of vitality and action, and also your ruler, 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 10th House, before moving back into Cancer, highlighting your 9th House. This transition brings focus to themes of career, reputation, and public image, followed by a shift to long-term visions, higher education, and travel.

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 10th House

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

The 10th House Represents:

Career ⭑ Reputation ⭑ Public Image ⭑ Authority Figures ⭑ Professional Goals ⭑ Long-term Ambitions ⭑ Achievement ⭑ Leadership Roles ⭑ Social Status ⭑ Success and Recognition ⭑ Responsibilities ⭑ Legacy

As Mars retrogrades in your 10th House, its effects may feel particularly personal and public, this area kasi governs how you are seen by the world. Professional ambitions might feel stalled, or efforts to gain recognition may seem to backfire, creating frustration. This transit often highlights unresolved tensions in your career path, encouraging you to confront what isn’t working. Are you chasing goals that align with your deeper purpose, or are you simply striving for external validation? Mars retrograde pushes you to reassess your motivations and refine your strategies so they truly support long-term success. The more you resist this process, the more tension may arise, so approach these challenges with patience and adaptability.

This period may also bring unexpected shifts in leadership or public responsibilities, testing your adaptability in high-pressure situations. Use setbacks as opportunities to reassess your long-term goals and the role you want to play in your field. This is a time to strengthen your professional foundations, ensuring they can support future growth when Mars moves direct!

Adding intensity, Mars opposes Pluto in your 4th House from December 7–15 and December 29–January 6. This alignment can create tension between professional demands and personal or family obligations. Power struggles with authority figures or clashes at home could arise, forcing you to confront unresolved dynamics in both areas. Mercury is still retrograde too, overlapping with Mars Rx from December 7 to December 15. Magulo talaga ang mga tao ngayon, pati ikaw, magulo rin, so practice extra care in all your interactions!

‼️Important Reminders for the 10th House Phase:‼️

⭐️ Reflect on your long-term ambitions. Refine your strategies and align them with your evolving values.

⭐️ Avoid unnecessary conflicts with authority figures. Practice patience and focus on collaboration.

⭐️ Use this time to solidify your professional goals. Lay the groundwork for future success.

Mars Rx through your 9th House

(January 6, to February 24, 2025)

The 9th House Represents:

Travel ⭑ Higher Education ⭑ Philosophy ⭑ Beliefs ⭑ Long-term Vision ⭑ Exploration ⭑ Faith ⭑ Publishing ⭑ Cultural Understanding ⭑ Spiritual Growth ⭑ Global Connections ⭑ Adventure


As Mars moves into your 9th House, the focus shifts to long-term visions, education, and your belief systems. This phase may bring delays in travel plans, obstacles in higher education, or a sense of questioning your core values and philosophies. This is the perfect time to revisit your long-term goals and ensure they align with your deeper truths. Whether you’re pursuing a big project, studying, or expanding your worldview, slow down and take a reflective approach.

You might face disruptions in journeys, miscommunications in academic or legal matters, or even conflicts with mentors or authority figures. These external factors could test your resilience and patience, forcing you to reconsider your approach to personal growth and adventure. Are your goals aligned with your current reality, or do they require adjustment to become more attainable? Mars Rx demands that you pause and reflect, using setbacks as opportunities to reassess your priorities and refine your vision for the future.

Buti nalang, for much of January, Mars forms supportive trines to Neptune, Venus, and Saturn, offering opportunities to find clarity and inspiration. Use this energy to revisit aspirations and reconnect with your spiritual or intellectual pursuits. While this is not a time for big leaps, it’s a chance to prepare for a stronger relaunch once Mars moves direct in February.

‼️Important Reminders for the 9th House Phase:‼️

⭐️ Be mindful of travel delays or complications. Plan ahead and remain flexible.

⭐️ Reassess your long-term goals. Are your ambitions still aligned with your current values?

⭐️ Use this time for introspection and study. Deepen your understanding of your beliefs and plans.

1st House: Personal identity, vitality, and self-expression. Mars rules this house, affecting how you assert yourself, take initiative, and maintain your physical energy.

Mars retrograde may test your patience, dear Scorpio, but it’s also a powerful time to slow down and focus on what truly matters.

Take it one step at a time, and when Mars moves direct, you’ll be ready to shine brighter than ever!
