WE ARE FACING A MARS-INSPIRED SPRING! Especially for Sagittarians, Scorpios, Geminis, Taureans, Pisces, Cancers, Arians and Leos. Now let’s take a closer look at this period.
Hello to everyone reading these lines! My name is Angelika Zhuravskaya, and I am an astrologer who occasionally writes about astrology here. Recently, I wrote about Venus’s influence on our lives in April. Today, I want to tell you about Mars.
Do you want to know when there may be an increase in injuries, accidents, work-related problems, flare-ups of old conflicts, and surgeries?
Astrologers respond: when Mars changes its phase of motion and begins moving in reverse direction around the Sun—i.e., retrograde. I should immediately clarify that the concept of “moving in reverse” applies only from the viewpoint of an Earth-based observer. Astrologers refer to this phase with the precise term—retrograde. It symbolizes a return to old, previously unresolved issues, intensification of everything that has accumulated, irritated, disturbed, and required resolution. Therefore, during this time, there are physical health flare-ups, increased conflicts and accidents, and higher risks of trauma.
This kind of motion awaits us from April 16 through June 29.
Which zodiac signs will be most affected?
The retrograde (backward) motion of Mars in 2016, from April 16 to June 29, will occur through the signs of Sagittarius and Scorpio. These signs, as well as Taurus and Gemini, will feel its impact most strongly. More precisely, all individuals who have planets in their horoscopes in these signs will experience Mars’s tense influence to varying degrees. Meanwhile, Leos and Arians, as well as Pisces and Cancers, will receive more strength and luck from Mars, becoming capable of significant achievements in sports and resolving conflict situations. It is believed that periods of Mars retrograde are especially tense, as this is when the number of global catastrophes and military conflicts increases.
Be careful!
Drivers should expect frequent vehicle breakdowns. Therefore, if you plan a car trip, better check your vehicle once again—100 times over. Note that the remainder of spring and almost all of June are unsuitable for any activities requiring normal expression of physical energy. Astrologers also do not recommend initiating anything new: business projects, romantic affairs, legal proceedings, conflict resolution, etc.
• A new project will not truly succeed; it will fizzle out and gradually come to nothing;
• A passionate love affair beginning during Mars retrograde rarely ends in marriage, even if it initially seemed promising;
• Conflicts arising during this period tend to drag on and are difficult to resolve, as hostilities between parties will repeatedly resurface in the future;
• Legal matters may involve numerous complications, and your opponent might unexpectedly prove stronger;
• Surgeries, disease-related medical, and cosmetic procedures may involve increased bleeding, heightened pain, and reduced effectiveness.
What can and should be done during this time?
How to use the period of retrograde Mars? First and foremost, accumulate strength and energy, and avoid scattering your focus. Mars retrograde is an excellent time for yoga, breathing exercises, and meditation. Work on your inner world, get to know yourself, and pursue self-improvement. Practice spiritual disciplines aimed at self-purification, attend personal growth trainings—and then this astronomical “minor misfortune” won’t spoil your plans or spring mood!
