Mars turns retrograde on September 9th and will be retrograde until November 13th. For the next three months, combative, driven Mars is stuck in place, so it'll be harder to generate forward momentum, and easy to get frustrated. Mars retrograde offers us a crash course in being patient, and keeping our energy levels up.
I share some ideas as to how to work with this retrograde cycle, including where this energy will be playing out strongest for each rising sign.
