Mars Retrograde 6-26-2018

Mars goes retrograde June 26, 2018 at 2:04 p.m. PDT, 09 degrees, 13 minutes Aquarius. It goes direct August 27, 2018 at 7:05 a.m. PDT, 28 degrees, 36 minutes Capricorn.

Although Mars retrograde doesn’t actually involve Mars turning around and retreating, it does appear that way from Earth due to the planets’ respective orbits. This phenomenon occurs about every two years and lasts for 80 days, on average.

Mars symbolizes strife, action, competition, masculine energy, and more.

Since Mars has to do with, in part, aggression and the utilization of energy, hallmarks of Mars retrograde period include, for example, battling an adversary from the past, dealing with anger issues, and working on conflict resolution.

Retrogrades are one of many possible afflictions, it takes multiple factors (forming patterns) to make a symbolic impact, and each universal (e.g., eclipses, retrogrades, etc.) indicator is personalized through your unique natal and timing patterns.

For some people, Mars retrograde is a non-event and for others it represents important life circumstances.

Generally, the worse shape your natal Mars, the worse the overall conditions, with corroborating factors. For those who study astrology, pay attention to where exactly the retrograde or other universal factor occurs in your personal patterns to further your understanding.

At a minimum, vitality may be marginally decreased and repression of personal energy can occur, particularly for those born under Mars retrograde.

My findings show astrological phenomena symbolize life circumstances, but don’t directly make things happen. “As above, so below.” For those who care to observe them, celestial signs have served as powerful omens for eons.

This Mars retrograde may not have much symbolic impact on your life, but tracking such happenings can help you gain an understanding of the cyclical nature of time, and even help limit your overall risk.
