Mars, the warrior planet, goes retrograde form December 20th to March 10th. This is big news because this planet has a lot to do with motivation, the creation of energy, and the will to fight with what is right. You will find over the next few months that everyone has less energy, is more prone to depression, and is also more prone to illness. It might also bode that the arrival of the flu pandemic in full force, as Mars retrograde does symbolize diminished health in general.
Mars does not turn retrograde that often. It only happens every two years and two months, but when it does happen, it has quite a significant impact. The 2009/2010 retrograde takes place in the fiery sign of Leo, which is a fixed sign. This means that it will also hit other fixed signs besides Leo quite hard. These fixed signs are Taurus, Scorpio, and Aquarius. These four signs may suddenly feel like they are conquered by life or drained of their will to go on. However, all the signs may find it hard to get ahead either because of a loss of morale and enthusiasm, illness, or a lack of supportive alliances? People with sun or the moon in Leo or Leo rising may simply feel more introspective.
The Mars retrograde can also mean a loss of interest in sex, but it can also indicate misplaced feelings and emotions. It can mean accidents, injuries, and fits of anger, rage, warfare, or other forms of violence depending on where it is in your chart. Another thing that Mars retrograde can bring to light is sex scandals. Death by hanging, fever, fire, and natural catastrophes are also indicated by this equation.
Mars in Leo also reveals any secrets that have been hidden. If someone is going to betray you, it is likely to happen when this planet is retrograde because it describes situations that are not honest. If you are in politics or a position of wealth or power, you need to watch your backs at this time.
