It's only 6 degrees away from my 8th house cusp (although it's separating as it's rx) and basically any shared resources are moving very slowly if not completely stalled. In general, my 8th house is completely messed up thanks to T Saturn (I have Libra intercepted) going through it the last few years.

Update:

Here's part of my day and why I feel like Mars rx is doing my head in...

I left home to catch the bus to my destination. Well, I waited and waited and waited. No bus at the usual/scheduled time. I thought to myself perhaps I missed it by a few, let's wait some more for the next one. The particular line comes only once every one hour but I thought if the last one was delayed perhaps the next one will come early. So I waited I waited and waiter some more.
About 1hr and 20min later (!!!!) here it comes! I rash to my errands because shops close earlier today and with all the wait I was dangerously near closing time. Since I had my laptop with me I thought I'd go to my favorite bookstore and have something to drink and check my email. So I get in and settle down. I get internet signal no problem. But my connection is of "limited connectivity". I reboot. No change. I reboot again. Nadda. I give up, read my book, drink my smoothie, and was almost kicked out as it was about to close. LOL
Is that a typical RX day or WHAT?!

Mars retro is hitting me very hard right now. Today, it returned to my natal Midheaven exactly. And ever since Friday, it seems my supervisor has started channeling the spirit of Bill Lumbergh (the boss from the movie Office Space)... Where before there were weeks I wouldn't see or hear much of him, these past few days I've been called to his office for 30min-1 hr+ AT LEAST 3 times a day (today I got called in 2 minutes before first break and didn't get away until lunch for almost 2 hours total(!)). It's actually getting quite annoying, AND today we apparently found 10,000 bugs in the project I'm working on.

I've had a feeling my time there is short, and I'll be honest, I haven't been focusing very well the last few months. Transit Neptune (through my 3rd house) Opposite my natal Sun (9th house Virgo) at the same time as this Mars retro is not helping, and soon not only will the transit Neptune be opposite my natal Saturn (while also squaring my Asc/Desc), but transit retro Saturn (currently in my natal 11th) will also start squaring my natal Jupiter (8th house Cancer). Transit Uranus (through my 4th house) is also Quincunx my natal Saturn right now, which I'm less sure about.

Plus next month we have Mercury retro to contend with as well. Natally I have Mars in 10th house Libra (Placidus houses) in a tight stellium with Pluto and Venus, so after the Mars retrograde period and it exiting the shadow region of where it went reverse I'll soon have a Mars return as well.

I'm not even sure how it's going to be when Mars stations direct, as that'll be conjunct my natal Saturn.

This has not been the best of times to put it mildly.
