⭑Hello PISCES!⭑

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 6th House, before moving back into Cancer, highlighting your 5th House.

This transition brings focus to themes of work, health, and daily responsibilities, followed by a shift to creativity, romance, and self-expression.

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 6th House

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

The 6th House Represents:

Daily Routines ⭑ Health and Wellness ⭑ Work Environment ⭑ Service ⭑ Responsibilities ⭑ Time Management ⭑ Coworkers ⭑ Productivity ⭑ Pets ⭑ Habits ⭑ Organization

As Mars retrogrades in your 6th House, the focus shifts to your work, health, and day-to-day responsibilities. Workplace dynamics may feel frustrating and strained, with delays or miscommunications disrupting progress. Tensions with colleagues or dissatisfaction with your current routines could lead you to reassess how you approach your tasks, dear Aquarius! This is a time to streamline your efforts and evaluate whether your habits and routines are truly supporting your goals.

This phase may also bring pressing health matters to the forefront, urging you to take a serious look at how well you’re caring for yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally. Signs of burnout, such as exhaustion, stress, or recurring ailments, could become more noticeable, making it impossible to ignore the need for rest and recovery. Mars retrograde in the 6th House can deplete your vitality, forcing you to confront unhealthy habits, poor time management, or an unsustainable work-life balance. If you’ve been pushing your limits, now is the time to reassess and recalibrate!

Adding intensity, Mars opposes Pluto in your 1st House from December 7–15 and December 29–January 6. This alignment could bring hidden challenges to the surface, such as subconscious fears or unresolved emotions, adding to your sense of fatigue.  Mag-ingat ka! Stress could make you more prone to burnout, so take it easy! Mercury retrograde overlaps with this period from December 7–15 so magulo talaga ang mga tao ngayon, baka pati ikaw, magulo rin, so practice extra care in all your interactions!

‼️Important Reminders for the 6th House Phase:‼️

⭐️ Focus on improving your daily routines. Small adjustments can lead to significant results.

⭐️ Be mindful of workplace conflicts. Approach disagreements with patience and practicality.

⭐️ Prioritize your health. Rest and self-care are essential during this phase.

Mars Rx through your 5th House

(January 6, to February 24, 2025)

The 5th House Represents:

Creativity ⭑ Romance ⭑ Love Affairs ⭑ Self-Expression ⭑ Children ⭑ Playfulness ⭑ Leisure ⭑ Hobbies ⭑ Passion Projects ⭑ Artistic Pursuits ⭑ Risk-Taking ⭑ Joy and Play ⭑ Urge to Create and Produce

As Mars moves back into your 5th House, the spotlight shifts to creativity, romance, and self-expression. Delays in creative projects, misunderstandings in romantic relationships, or a lack of inspiration may challenge your usual flow. This is a time to reflect on how you express joy and passion in your life, dear Pisces—are you making space for the things that truly bring you happiness?

This phase may also surface unaddressed emotions in matters of the heart. Romantic tensions or old lovers opening wounds could resurface, requiring patience and honest communication. If you’ve been pursuing creative endeavors, this retrograde may test your commitment and invite you to refine your approach. Instead of forcing outcomes, focus on rediscovering the joy in the process itself!

Buti nalang, for much of January, Mars forms supportive trines to Neptune, Venus, and Saturn, helping you deepen your emotional and creative connections. Use this energy to reconnect with activities and relationships that nourish your spirit. While the pace may feel slow, it’s a chance to prepare for a more vibrant and inspired relaunch once Mars moves direct!

‼️Important Reminders for the 5th House Phase:‼️

⭐️ Reflect on your creative pursuits. What truly fuels your passion and self-expression?

⭐️ Navigate romantic tensions with care. Communicate openly and avoid unnecessary drama!

⭐️ Focus on playfulness and joy. Rediscover what makes you feel truly alive.

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:

2nd House:  Finances, personal resources, and self-worth. You may experience delays in income or the need to reevaluate spending habits.

9th House: Travel, higher education, and long-term goals. Plans may slow down, inviting you to reflect on your broader aspirations.

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