Feeling that creeping fatigue? That urge to hit pause on life and hibernate until spring? It's no coincidence. From December 6, 2024, to February 25, 2025, Mars—the fiery inner warrior that fuels your drive and ambition—enters retrograde. And let me tell you, it’s going to shake things up.
But don’t panic. This isn’t cosmic punishment—it’s an invitation to slow down, regroup, and realign with your true self. Let’s break down the two powerful phases of this retrograde and how you can harness them to transform not just your goals but your entire approach to life.
🔥 Phase 1: Mars Retrograde in Leo (December 6, 2024 - January 6, 2025)
Mars in Leo begins with the big, uncomfortable question: “Why are you chasing that promotion, relationship, or project that’s draining you more than it fulfills you?” Ouch, we know.
In the sign of Leo, Mars demands a reality check. Are you living your dream, or the one sold to you by society, social media, or outdated expectations? Leo retrograde energy empowers you to embrace your inner lion, rediscover your unique spark, and redefine success on YOUR terms—not anyone else’s.
How to work with this energy:
- Grab a coffee or tea (why not both?) and take a moment for honest reflection. Ask yourself: Why am I doing what I’m doing? Am I driven by passion or pressure?
- If you catch yourself saying “because I have to” or “because I should”—it’s time to rethink your motivations.
- Observe what triggers anger, frustration, or resentment. These emotions often reveal where you feel unaligned or undervalued.
- Mars Retrograde in Leo is a cosmic green light to say “no” to projects, relationships, and commitments that don’t reflect your true desires. Shine unapologetically, not to gain approval, but to celebrate your authentic self.
