Mars Retrograde

During Mars retrograde, we are likely to confront this part of ourselves, releasing rogue units of anger which seemingly flash out from nowhere. As we delve deep into areas of unresolved conflict, we are given the opportunity to reimagine these parts of our lives, allowing new and improved impulses to take charge. Mars retrogrades are ideal times to re-examine where we’re going, and why, allowing for necessary re-writes. At the end of Mars retrograde, we see our path with a fresh set of eyes, discovering new ways to merge motivation and meaning.

Repressed Anger or sudden flashes of Anger.

Mars in Cancer Retrograde: Astrological Framework
Mars: Planet of action, energy, aggression, desire, and conflict. In mundane astrology, it rules wars, violence, initiative, and physical resources (e.g., land, military).

Cancer: Cardinal water sign—emotional, nurturing, protective, tied to home, family, land, security, and national identity. Mars in Cancer is in its "fall" (weakened), channeling energy inward or defensively rather than outwardly.

Retrograde: Appears to move backward, internalizing Mars’s drive—delays, reflection, suppressed action, revisiting past conflicts or emotions.

Timing: January 6 – February 23, 2025 (Cancer phase of retrograde), post-holiday slump, pre-spring renewal.

General Mundane Effects
Emotional Conflict: Mars’s aggression meets Cancer’s sensitivity—public mood swings, defensive posturing, or domestic unrest.

Home/Land Issues: Focus on property, housing, or territorial disputes intensifies, often with delays or setbacks.

Security Concerns: Protective instincts heighten—nationalism, border tensions, or family-related policies dominate.

Suppressed Action: Retrograde stalls initiatives—wars, projects, or reforms slow, forcing reevaluation.

Expected News Headlines (January – February 2025)
Based on mundane astrology and Mars in Cancer retrograde’s dynamics, here’s what might dominate news cycles:

1. Domestic and Family-Related Crises
Headlines:

"Spike in Domestic Violence Cases Raises Alarm Amid Winter Tensions"

"Family Disputes Over Housing Surge as Economic Pressures Mount"

Why: Mars retrograde in Cancer turns aggression inward—home (Cancer) becomes a battleground. Posts on X note Mars in Cancer Rx linked to "family acting weird" or "domestic abuse headlines." Emotional strain (Cancer) and stalled action (retrograde) amplify personal conflicts.

Context: Early 2025, post-holidays, economic or seasonal stress (e.g., cold weather) could exacerbate this—e.g., USA or UK reporting increased shelter demand.

2. Housing and Real Estate Turmoil
Headlines:
"Real Estate Market Freezes: Buyers Face Delays, Fraud Scandals Emerge"

"Land Ownership Disputes Paralyze Construction Projects"

Why: Cancer rules land/home; Mars retrograde stalls transactions or uncovers past issues (e.g., faulty contracts). X posts predict "issues with land ownership" during this transit. Pluto at 2° Pisces (transformation) opposing Virgo 2° (details) might reveal hidden flaws in property systems.

Context: Post-2024 election (e.g., Trump’s policies per X trends), housing debates intensify—e.g., UK 1801’s 6th house (service) or USA Sibley’s 4th (home) activated.

3. National Security and Border Tensions
Headlines:
"Border Clashes Erupt as Nations Reassess Defense Strategies"

"Immigration Policy Delays Spark Public Outcry"

Why: Cancer’s protective nature + Mars’s aggression = defensive nationalism. Retrograde delays action, revisiting old border disputes (e.g., Ukraine-Russia, US-Mexico). X mentions "violent events" with Mars in Cancer.

Context: UK 1066’s Jupiter at 18° Virgo (6th) squared by 2025’s Jupiter in Gemini earlier might shift to Cancer’s 9th house focus—immigration debates heat up emotionally.

4. Environmental and Water-Related Disasters
Headlines:
"Winter Floods Worsen as Emergency Responses Stall"

"Coastal Erosion Threatens Homes, Delays Plague Relief Efforts"

Why: Cancer’s water element + Mars retrograde = disrupted action against floods, storms, or sea issues. Emotional public response (Cancer) meets inaction (retrograde). Jupiter’s later Cancer ingress (June 2025) amplifies water themes.

Context: Global climate focus (e.g., USCAP 2025’s AI pathology might tie to health crises from water damage)—e.g., USA Sibley’s 4th house (land) hit.

5. Political Stagnation and Emotional Outbursts
Headlines:
"Government Gridlock Deepens Over Family Welfare Reforms"

"Public Protests Turn Emotional as Leaders Hesitate"

Why: Mars retrograde stalls policy (e.g., Trump’s agenda per X trends on optimism might falter). Cancer fuels emotional rhetoric—anger over security or nurturing (e.g., healthcare). X notes "people losing cool easily."



Venus Retrograde (March 1 – April 12): In Aries/Pisces—love and money reassessed; overlaps with Mars Rx end, intensifying emotional news (e.g., family finances).



Outcome: Mars direct (February 23) releases pent-up energy—news shifts from stagnation to action, though Cancer’s sensitivity lingers until April.

Conclusion
When Mars in Cancer goes retrograde (January 6 – February 23, 2025), expect news to spotlight emotional domestic strife, housing setbacks, security debates, water-related crises, political delays, and health concerns. The retrograde’s internalization of Mars’s fire in Cancer’s water creates a simmering tension—stories of stalled progress and emotional outbursts dominate, reflecting Cancer’s protective yet volatile nature. Post-direct, expect a news surge as action resumes.

CAPITOL RIOT - Mercury in 2020

=======================================================================================

Scorpio 3. A mysterious food, a small piece of which will satisfy hunger for days. (Omega Symbol) Manifesting/Receptive

(Degree Angel: Rochel (ro-SHEL) Lost and Found, Restitution)

This degree possesses innate knowledge of what is needed to SUSTAIN LIFE, versus what may be desired based on fantasies or addictive needs. There is something highly concentrated about its energy, so that what it may seem to be at first may be quite different from how it is experienced as it unfolds over time. It is hard to get to know, hard to assimilate and may be difficult to understand, but any attempts to do so are well worth the effort, for it has much of value to offer.

Dr.M.Mosley - Neptune-yod

The Chandra Symbol for this degree is “Pigs being fed.” We associate pigs with gluttony and over-eating. The Symbol does not say how much they are being fed. Are they being stuffed with as much food as they can possibly hold, or are they being fed a healthy amount? Scorpio is the sign of desire, and over-eating is often an attempt to fulfill oneself when one has been starved or denied in other areas. At its best this degree revels in what is taken in, be it love, a beautiful painting, a sunset, or a bowl of macaroni and cheese. If, though, it is not in deep and sincere touch with its true desires, it may binge chronically in an attempt to get something it never quite gets.

Pleiadian Symbol: Workers without any plans are building a labyrinth.

Azoth Symbol: Alchemists sharing, integrating and refining their formulae.

Seed degree: Taurus 2. A saint’s bones have turned to pure gold. (Omega Symbol). When we contact the deepest most enduring meaning within, we find that it is amazingly nurturing, and has the power to sustain us deeply when we allow it to.

Wilting flowers form a graceful pattern in a vast. (Chandra symbol). The passing away of beauty, when realized as beautiful in itself allows us to be nourished by all the phases of the cycles of birth and death.

Fulfillment degree: Sagittarius 18. A satyr chasing young maidens who are laughing and screaming. (Omega Symbol). A deep fulfillment of our desires allows us to be carefree and to enjoy life to the fullest.

Rose petals scattered on a path. (Chandra Symbol). When we allow ourselves to be satiated we are than able to see the love that is everywhere to be found along our way.

Oracle

The cakes produced by a certain baker/alchemist of Aab who wishes to remain anonymous are able to satisfy hunger for many days. These cakes are round, about the size of peas and dissolve quickly in the mouth. Travellers who have consumed these say that each one bears a different taste, and that in fact the taste unfolds in the mouth over several days as it continues to change, sometimes seeming like fruits or boiled roots or various herbs or other culinary ingredients.

It is also noted that the effects of these cakes is cumulative, for a certain woman of great age who consumed them for many years in her extensive wanderings has now been without food for three decades, the tastes that still to this day appear and disappear in her mouth, she says, having become a great source of wonder and delight.

The scope of Scorpio 3 is "Building a better future working with others in our community", and its means of expansion is Aries 7, "Extension of possibilities".
