Is Mars retro right now? I feel fine. Maybe since I have so many natal squares to my Mars that retro smooths everything out? I don't know lol. But I'm fine and dandy.

Yeah it's retro. I have natal Retrograde Mars in Virgo plus Mars opposite Saturn and Mars square Pluto, so there's a lot of volcanic pressure.

it's been kind of odd, really. I've been sick, and my husband got into a small car accident (bumper incident) so thankfully everything is fine. I wished he had stayed home but can't be helped.

isn't this supposed to effect 1st/8th house, aries and scorpio energies (due to the Mars energy)??

it's been downright weird.

Mars retrograde 2014

"From MARCH 1 through MAY 19 2014, the planet Mars will be in retrograde motion. This period is inappropriate for activities requiring the normal flow of Mars initiative. Using the constructive aspects of these transits, it is an excellent time to reinforce some aspect of our lives. This will be shown by the House position of this transit.

When Mars is retrograde, it depletes the vitality so that it is never a time to initiate. *Whoever initiates loses*— a new project, a great love, an argument, a lawsuit, or an international war. With a new project, it will fizzle out and never really go anywhere. With a hot romance, it too fizzles and it rarely gets to the alter. With an argument, the hostility will come back to haunt you later. In legal matters, stoke your opponent into initiating the lawsuit first. It will be etched in granite that they will lose. In an international war, whoever fires first will automatically lose or ultimately withdraw. Matters commenced while Mars is retrograde will be frustrated and plagued with disruptions until they finally fizzle out. At this time, people become irritated when activities do not run smoothly. The anger may disrupt indirectly and inappropriately — like getting a traffic ticket when you feel annoyed with your job."

so basically don't start a new "flame" with someone, or start a new project? or buy a new home, or new car?

interesting...because I've been in situations where I could have blown and I'm very composed and I just walk away from the situation.

When someone pisses me off, I'll just give them a cold, blank stare. Retrograde Mars is very intense and explosive and I don't know how I hold it all in.

I always have the energy to get things done, it's just that I experience frustrating setbacks from time to time.

"with a hot romance, it too fizzles and it rarely gets to the altar". THIS

i have mars in virgo and it definitely exploded last weekend with someone i've been dealing patiently with for months. i'm talking about 7 months... it was the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak. pretty tough for me right now.. but as with any retrograde, we can learn from this and could be a blessing in disguise. just gotta be strong and power through!

I have Cancer mars Retro in my natal and I'm not worried about starting new things. I plan to today, actually. I can't believe you guys won't do something just because a planet seems to be moving backwards.

I get things done, it's just that I more inner tension during this retrograde period.

Weird, I have Mars in Pisces opposite Saturn...square Neptune...have you had your Saturn return yet? It was bumpy for me...

I'm 19, when does it usually return for people?

-----------------------

Around age 29...you have to see what house your Saturn falls in, and make stockpiles of it. My Saturn is in house 2 and I got in trouble money-wise...

I have it in the 11th and I'm a serious loner.

I honestly don't know, I didn't know astrology well enough to anticipate my Saturn return, I fell SO BROKE, I stole and got caught...no jail but probation, and it was a horrible exprience...
What could happen with an 11 house Saturn return...who knows. Lol you'll be lonely, but you've always been lonely, based on what you've told me. Severe depression maybe, idk, I dont want to jinx it, maybe you'll be fine, you might feel lonely but you won't die, like I was super poor for 3 years but I didn't starve 🙂

Damn man haha. You've lived a hard life.
