Retrograde Mars

Retrograde Mars

Mars is our energy, strength,vitality. He is responsible for how much inner pressure we have to achieve what we want and resist difficulties. This is a warrior and soldier by nature. And if in the natal chart Mars is retrograde, all this warlike energy turns inward. With retro Mars, you are well aware of the energies of this planet, but do not allow them to manifest.

Such qualities of Mars as aggressiveness, the ability to insist on one’s own, to be the first, do not find a way out. But not because you are too kind or soft-hearted, and you do not want to win. But because you have a fear of showing anger or aggression. Everything is boiling inside you, but outwardly you are calm, or express your emotions in a distorted way.

However, if Mars is retrograde, it is strong. A strong Mars gives you a lot of energy and internal aggression. And you can’t ignore her. Even if you drive it inside, sooner or later it will definitely manifest itself. This can happen during the period of Mars, or in its sub-periods.

Retro Mars can give sudden outbursts of anger. Even if you are usually calm, sometimes you just can’t control yourself. Therefore, you need to work with the energy of retrograde Mars. In the lower gunas, this planet gives a tendency to violence, sexual perversion, alcoholism. But in a benevolent manifestation of retro Mars can elevate you to the pinnacle of success. It all depends on how you use its power.

But more often than not, undeveloped retro Mars, on the contrary, slows you down at the stage of action. For example, you have an idea, and you even made a plan to implement it (thanks to Mercury). It’s Mars’ turn to act, and that’s it. You start thinking too much instead of taking the first step. Retro Mars can speak of a lack of willpower, laziness, passivity in achieving the goal. In the end, you still begin to act, but after much thought and doubt.

Sometimes the strong retro Mars energies are hard to handle. This is where meditation comes to the rescue. Once you master the art of controlling your mind and emotions, you will be invincible. Since Mars is a more material planet, it is aimed at external achievements. Benevolent, detailed retro Mars will help you achieve what you want, fulfill your dreams, cope with any difficulties and change your life for the better.
