The week starts with a disruption to our relationships and energy levels as Mars (planet of aggression) goes into retrograde on Wednesday.
The planet of passion and drive only goes into retrograde once every two years, but when it does—watch out! Mars is retrograde in Aries, the sign it rules, bringing extra challenges. For the next two months, sex drive, ambition, and productivity will be affected. We may feel more aggressive, too.
Thankfully, the sun (planet of ego and self) trines Jupiter (planet of luck) on the same day, bringing some good luck and creativity that day, so we won’t feel the effects of Mars retrograde right away.
Pay extra attention to your health (especially the immune system), when the sun opposes Neptune (planet of illusion) on Friday. The sun is in health-conscious Virgo, and the fog of Neptune may dim vitality.
Fortunately, Jupiter saves the week when it goes back into direct in work-focused Capricorn on Saturday. Expect some lucky breaks when it comes to career.
Mars retrograde hits this week could cause your fiery Aries energy to drain. This transit, being in your first house, could spark your temper easily—so watch your words. When the sun opposes Neptune on Friday, take some time to yourself and practice self-care.
