Mars Finally Goes Direct on February 23rd, 2025!

Mars, the Red Planet ruled by the God of War, finally goes Direct on February 23rd, 2025.

Mars, the planet of ambition, drive, determination, sex, anger, and our source of energy has been in Retrograde motion since December 6th, 2024, in the sign of Leo (theatrics, creativity, children, arts & crafts, drama, and romance) and then moving into Cancer (family, emotions, real estate, food, and patriotism) where it is now going into Direct motion tomorrow. This means that all of that stale, stuck, diminished, and possibly backwards feeling energy that we have been feeling since December will start to feel full steam ahead once again! The power has returned and we can start to put our plans into high gear! This should also cause some of the fighting with family (Mars Retrograde in Cancer) that has been going on for awhile (especially about political topics -patriotism), to subside somewhat. This certainly won't bring things to a complete halt, but a lot of the ferocity will start to lessen behind some of these fights and they won't feel so much like people are going for the throat. Mars will also be Stationing Direct in a T-square opposing the Moon (rules emotions, instincts, dreams, family) in Capricorn (business, government, politicians, authority, economies) squaring Venus (the planet of love, finances, the arts, diplomacy, the elite, and equality) in Aries (leadership, risk-taking, willpower, passion, stubborn, reckless). This will make for a bumpy landing, everyone! Mars opposing the Moon will cause people to be cranky and quick-tempered while the Apex planet of Venus in Aries squaring both will cause some troubles with risky love matters or finances. Don't do something reckless that you can't take back in cooler-headed times. Basically, don't let your emotions get the better of you that will influence your Venusian areas of life like love, finances, or diplomacy. Aries is already short-tempered, so try to lean into the peacekeeper role, though it may be harder to do with these energies in the air. Play it safe. Keep a level head.

From Monday to Friday, there will be a short period of time where ZERO planets will be Retrograde!! So, make your moves!! If you have anything financial or beauty related to get in order, do it before end of business on Friday! Get your plans in motion before Venus goes Retrograde on March 1st with Mercury following shortly afterward!
