Description
Every time Mars turns retrograde, the same warnings start circulating. Don’t start anything new. Don’t pick a fight. Don’t buy a car. Expect everything to stall.
But Mars retrograde isn’t here to stop you. It is a review of where your energy goes, what you fight for, what you push through and, ultimately, what is worth your effort.
This retrograde begins in Virgo and ends in Leo, which gives it a clear story: Virgo refines, Leo reclaims. First it asks whether the way you work, train and look after yourself is actually working. Then it asks what all that effort is for: what you want to create, what you’re proud of and where you want to be seen.
Inside this 69-page guide you’ll find:
Every key date, from the shadow period beginning on 5 November 2026 to its end on 8 June 2027. That includes the Sun–Mars opposition at the midpoint, Mercury retrograde, both February eclipses, Mars meeting Jupiter and the three Mars–Uranus squares that run through the whole cycle.
Every date and degree has been checked against an astronomical ephemeris.
The questions everyone asks, answered honestly and without fear. Should I put everything on hold? Can I start a new job or launch something? Should I quit? Why do I feel so tired? Will there be more arguments? Will an old rival or flame come back? Can I buy a car? What about exercise or surgery?
How to tell whether this retrograde is personal for you, including the exact degrees to check in your own birth chart.
What happens when Mars touches your natal planets and points: the Sun, Moon and all the planets, plus Chiron, your Ascendant, Descendant, Midheaven, IC and the Nodes, each with a reflection question.
In-depth chapters for all 12 rising signs, following Mars through both houses it visits and into the months after it turns direct. Each chapter ends with the lesson of the retrograde, a question to sit with and space for your own notes.
Work, body & drive, a dedicated section on energy, rest, ambition and burnout, including guidance for business owners.
Practical dos and don’ts, with no superstition.
A Mars retrograde journal with writing space for prompts on energy, anger, work and courage, ending with one final question to return to throughout the cycle.
This guide is for you if you’re tired of fear-based retrograde content and want to understand what this cycle is actually asking of you: how you work, what makes you angry and what you’re really fighting for.
