DON’T: Obsess Over The Past

Since Mars retrograde is essentially a cosmic rewind, it can often dig up the past, specifically when it comes to moments of stagnation and failure. Avoid lamenting about your shortcomings or letting any regret hinder whatever you have in the works.

DO: Be Patient

The sun in Sagittarius sits opposite Mars, which happens to be in retrograde, testing our patience. This energy prompts us to be aware of our impulsivity and how we assert ourselves. Align with peace through breathwork, yoga, and meditation.
