It was at this same degree that Mars participated in the formation of a mystic rectangle in fire and air signs with lunar nodes and the Moon’s conjunction with Pluto, just a couple of days earlier on December 4-5. 

This retrograde Mars in Leo comes with a promise that there is much benefit to be reaped in the long run. It can feel like the pep in our step is dampened, but it gives us the opportunity to step back and review our life path. During this transit, we are able to pick our battles and discern how to direct our energy in a way that benefits us more.

During Mars retrograde in Leo, we may find ourselves channeling our power, ambition, and drive inward as we: 

• reevaluate our hero’s journey

• reunite with our inner child 

• reflect on our personal development

• reclaim our ability to advocate for ourselves

• reassess and manage personal risk

Mars will continue its backwards spin until February 23, 2025, when it will station direct at 17° Cancer.
