The year began with Mars, the Planet of Action, still in Leo and retrograde before entering Cancer on the 6th, prompting a period of reflection that will extend until February 23rd. Aries, this is a great time for you to slow down and review the goals you’ve set for yourself. Are they still in alignment with who you are and what you want? Are there any goals you set that you realize you were doing to please others, or to live up to society’s standards? Mars Retrograde is helping you weed out the goals that aren’t truly your own, and focus on the ones that are. Trust that this slower pace is not a setback, but a necessary pause to reignite your fire with clarity and intention.
