I'll try to find something I read yesterday, about Mars retro.

Mars stations retrograde in Leo this week (Dec. 6, 2024, 3:33 pm PST), and won’t turn direct again until Feb. 23, 2025. Dealing with retrograde planets is not just a matter of playing defense, passively sitting by and waiting for it all to pass. Retrograde periods are great times to reflect on our relationship with the planet in question and what it represents, to look within for answers, to retrace our steps and restore whatever we knocked over on our first sprint across the landscape.

If there's a universal message for Mars retrograde, maybe it's something like: Rethink your work. Do you like what you do for a living, the tasks that occupy your day? Do you enjoy a healthy balance of work and leisure in your life? These are questions of the privileged, aren't they; people all over the world would love the luxury of contemplating questions like these. "What do you mean, enjoy my work?" asks the destitute third-world farmer who spends every waking moment trying to provide for his family. "What do you mean, leisure?" demands the family straining every nerve to cover the rent and fill the gas tank.

What does Mars retrograde mean for people who are using every resource, every drop of strength just to get by? I suppose it's a time of tapping into even deeper resources of strength and courage to slay whatever dragons lie in our paths; to find the grace to remember how much we do have; and to contemplate how we might, in the months ahead, lend a little of our Mars strength to those who need it.

I can't sleep, because I'm too worried about my dad, about money, about having no future whatsoever, and there's a lot behind that, too.

I’m not down with violence. I’m not happy the man is dead, but I also hate that it’s understandable that it happened. Just with everything I’ve been reading.

I remember something like the actions are helping with worries. I don’t really agree with people who are like that you just need to find something to do and you wouldn’t have so much time for your inner problems. My mother is more that type. However, much things to do help me to survive through these retrogrades. I might get needed time to restore now with transits to Venus as my body is aching.

I'm going to re-read this myself, because I'm still really down, and I also feel like yelling at people. Anger is a step up from rotting on the couch.

Last week, I was thinking of this as Mars in Leo energy:

I need to get back to a few people, but I'm not ready to. I'm not in the head space to really be talking to people. I wish we had the money so that my dad could retire, and we could just disappear for a while. This week finally took a positive turn, but it didn't start out well. My dad is also exhausted, and Mars is about to square his sun again.

One person I need to get back to, Mars will also square their sun/moon, it's about to, and I don't know how to talk to anyone right now.

I need to get some sleep, and I need to really take a mental break from a lot. I wanted to spend this month doing just that, but I never seem to accomplish it.

Trans Mars square Asc occurred last year. And I felt the inability to assert myself OR being forced into a positon of having to acquiesce to conditions/ with someone I don't particularly agree with.

So all in all, Mars has crossed Plu 3 times. First last year, then again this year Jan. And now once again in late April

Mars will trine Neptune and move into my 5th house by whole sign.

Out of all houses, I had the most difficult time understanding the 5th, but when Vic Dicara mentioned that it was also the house of productivity as "children" is one facet of "productivity". It started to make sense.

I didn't enjoy the last brief transit of Mars in ♌. It was a busy time indeed. And even though it wasn't "fun",it was productive.

So i do hope that the trans to natal Plu will spark some new obsession to focus on something. And be productive!

I never like it when Mars is in aspect to Sat.I don't feel good.It can be incredibly oppressive energy. So I am curious as to how it'll unfold this time.

It happens to be my 12th house. The best description of the feeling is some kind of void. Almost every time. I feel distance from everything around me but also a connection in some universal way. There’s always some sadness and isolation. Sadness because of loneliness but at the same time strong need to get lost somewhere by myself either mentally or physically.

I think the best remedy is long distance travel and activities in nature. I actually booked the flight and bought tickets to a concert of a band that I really love (all in different places). Looking forward to getting lost in music and nature!
