Claws out and teeth bared, four zodiac signs will spend the rest of the year as climactic antagonists.
March retrograde December 2024
Mars – our planet of war and will, action and aggression – will turn retrograde in the fixed fires of Leo for a full month, starting on Friday, December 6.
Then, on January 6, 2025, Mars will continue its retrograde into the cardinal waters of Cancer, ending its warpath on February 25.
How long does Mars retrograde last?
Mars goes retrograde approximately once every two years for a challenging period of eight to 11 weeks.
The planet of realization and fulfillment, Mars informs ambition, sexuality, and conflict response and resolution.
Mars is a personal planet, and because the spheres the red planet rules are so integral to our daily routines and core sense of power, we experience the effects of the planet’s retrograde most acutely.
It can feel a little overpowering, causing insecurity, impatience and defensiveness, calling us to pick up sharp objects, weaponize words and protect our soft underbelly at all costs.
Astrologer Joshua Pingley, aka The Spiritual Weatherman, has taken to TikTok to share his picks for the zodiac signs most likely to go full-on villainous during the first phase of Mars retrograde.
Pigley stressed, “BREAK the fixed signs,” explaining that Mars will go retrograde for the first time in two years, and the fixed signs — looking at you Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius — are about to skip the rest of the year completely. -bloated villain mode.
Is Mars retrograde right now?
This IDGAF energy starts now and extends to anyone with rising sun or Mars in fixed signs.
While fixed signs will be most activated by this transit, he insists: “We will all experience this transit in one way or another, whether it’s general frustration or irritation that comes from things not going as planned, people being extremely rude or just generally being over the top.”
And although all will be confused, “the four signs of the zodiac above the others will be ready to INTERBISE.”
Fixed signs stabilize the seasons and stay closely to anger, pride and ideologies. Built to bury rather than integrate, they often struggle to constructively address or positively resolve conflict—and trust, folks, their dam of resentment is being primed to break.
Mars retrograde
“If there’s something you’ve been cooking up for a while, chances are it’s going to come out and it’s definitely going to be a moment to remember,” shares Pingley.
He advises anyone without big placements in fixed tables: “Don’t mess with fixed tables, because they’re not this time and they’re about to prove it.”
Pingley gives a special shout-out to villain Aries, who, although not a fixed sign, is ruled by warlike Mars and so is always ready to ignite, burn, come to blows or take it out.
Look alive out there, folks!
