Ready or not, here is Retrograde Mars 2020, one of the main retrograde times of the year. The planet of war, sex, anger, and passion started its backspin on September 9 in its fiery home sign Aries, and that energy will be with us until November 13.
While this retrograde is important to everyone, the lucky few zodiacs sign less affected by Mars retrograde 2020 will likely have an easier time managing their moods and navigating the cosmic chaos. Regardless of your zodiac sign, the retrograde periods of Mars (which occur roughly every two years) can be really frustrating.
It can make us impatient, lethargic, and suddenly unenthusiastic about the efforts that previously lit our fires. Energy is low, motivation is zero, and crankiness levels are increased to 100. All of this combined can be a buzzkill, but you can get the most out of Mars retrograde.
Instead of stubbornly trying to go ahead and take risks right now, try to connect with your inner fire and determine the real motivations behind your goals, actions, anger, and defensiveness. This transit can make us restless, but if we take a deep breath and try to embrace the sudden pause in the action, we have a chance to recalibrate our passions and come out the other side with a new purpose and fight.
Mars retrograde might not be the most joyfully anticipated of astrological transits, but if you’re one of the zodiac signs that Mars retrograde 2020 will affect the least, then it won’t be that big of a deal. Read on to find out if you’re one of the lucky ones:
