Mars Retrograde is an astrological phenomenon that occurs when the planet Mars appears to move backward in its orbit from our perspective on Earth. This event typically happens every 26 months and lasts for about two to two and a half months. During this time, the energy associated with Mars, which governs action, aggression, and ambition, may feel disrupted or delayed. People often experience challenges in areas related to motivation and assertiveness during Mars Retrograde. It can be a time for reflection rather than taking bold actions. Many astrologers suggest using this period to reassess goals and strategies rather than starting new projects or making significant decisions.
