Mars Retrograde Impact on Leo and Virgo Placements

leo · virgo

The creator explains that not all Leos and Virgos will be significantly affected by the upcoming Mars retrograde, specifically identifying those with placements in the second half of Leo and the first half of Virgo as the primary targets. The text details the timeline of Mars moving through these signs from late September to the following spring, noting that the retrograde period occurs between January and April. It emphasizes that while Mars in Leo is challenging, Jupiter's presence in Leo mitigates some impact, whereas the first 10 degrees of Virgo face the hardest hits.

• Individuals with chart placements in the second half of Leo or the first half of Virgo are most likely to feel the effects of the Mars retrograde.
• Mars remains in Leo from the end of September until the end of November, then enters Virgo at the end of November.
• The Mars retrograde occurs from January to April, but the shadow period is larger.
• Leos benefit from Jupiter being in their sign, suggesting that challenges are purposeful rather than unexpected.
• People with placements in the first 10 degrees of Virgo are identified as being "hit hard" because Mars does not reach the end degrees of Virgo until after the retrograde concludes next spring.
• Those with placements in the beginning of Leo or the end of Virgo are largely unaffected by this specific retrograde.
