Though we often think of retrograde planets in a negative way, I feel like it could be a welcome respite to the over wrought energy of the last few months. A little less drama and angst would certainly be a welcome change for me.
Of course, retrogrades amplify a planet’s energy, so we do need to be careful of anger, frustration and impatience during Mar’s retrograde movement.
How about you? How are you experiencing the slower energy of retrograde Mars?
hi Ruby,
and thanks for the deatailed explanation. i have a question for you that you maybe you can help me with. I’m a Capricorn sun with Gemini rising. So for horoscopes or year predictions which ones should I read- the ones for Capricorn OR for Gemini? Also which personality traits are more predominant for me-Capricorn or Gemini, or viceversa? I’m confused.
I appreciate your comment. It’s hard to tell whether you should read your ascendant sign or your Sun sign, because different astrologers use diffeernt methods to write their predictions. When I say that a certain sign will be affected, I am talking about the Sun sign, but also about anyone who has significant planets in that sign or on the ascendant, IC, descendant or midheaven. Your best bet would be to read both the ascendant sign and the Sun sign predictions and see which seems to be true over time. The energies of Capricorn and Gemini are very different, so you should be able to determine which rings true over time. You can also try reading both and try to blend them.
Your Capricorn traits are the most predominant, but your Gemini traits may be noticed more by those close to you. Our ascendant is our mask to the world. We can show that side of ourselves, or not. Thus, we often only show our ascendant traits to those close to us or show it in non-threatenting situations. Our Sun sign is our public face that we show to everyone.
