Mars retrograde 2023 - January 1 - 11: What to expect

Mars is a planet related to physical strength and willpower. When Mars retrogrades, it implies difficulties in containing its energy. As a result, we sometimes tend to choose the wrong direction or move more slowly. When Mars retrogrades, its strengths are curtailed. This new pattern is not at all what Mars represents, with a notion of impulsiveness and spontaneity on display. The potential is not totally canceled, but it needs more time to materialize. Certain slowness or blockages may arise. Thus, a discouragement or an unusual fatigue stroke setting up an action can materialize.

You should also be careful if you need to get into a battle or fight something. Don't take on new challenges or make big changes, as these changes could fail during the phase of Mars retrograde. In fact, it's best to take advantage of the Mars retrograde period to slow down, take time to reflect, and gain perspective on life. Take advantage of this period to review your actions. Analyze events that make you angry and upset. Find simple ways to calm your mind to evolve more serenely.

What are the effects Mars retrograde?

When Mars retrograde sets in, its assets are often held back, meaning the notion of impulsiveness and spontaneity are delayed.

With Mars retrograde in Gemini, you are likely to be tired more quickly and to find yourself becoming easily distracted. During this period, you must concentrate your energy on your projects and focus on becoming more efficient when Mars resumes its direct course...

The stars also urge you to take advantage of this time by picking up activities that you haven't yet completed. It would be fruitful for you to take a step back and finalize projects you have going on. The Mars retrograde motion will in fact boost your energy. We must really see the action of Mars retrograde as an opportunity to reflect upon yourself and your wishes. This phase should be seen as an opportunity to look at your personal life and act accordingly.

⚠️ Warning: ⚠️

It’s also necessary to remain prudent if you need to fight against something. Don’t test yourself with new challenges and don’t make major changes, because they could fail during the retrograde phases of Mars.
