Mars Through the Signs
Mars spends about 6-7 weeks in each sign, though retrograde can extend this to 6 months or more. It takes approximately 2 years to complete its journey through the zodiac.
Mars Retrograde
Mars retrograde occurs about every 2 years for approximately 2.5 months. During this time, energy may feel frustrated, and direct action can backfire. It's better to strategize than to push forward.
Mars Transits
Mars transits energize and activate the affairs of the house it's passing through. Expect increased motivation, potential conflicts, and the drive to take action in that life area.
