"Mars stations Retrograde on November 15, 2007 @ 12 Cancer 27 and stations Direct on January 30, 2008
When Mars stations and travels Retrograde, its excited, active energy becomes covert and calculated; its motives are hidden. Careful -- inwardly turned outward-bound energy can become toxic! Positively, Mars Retrograde can give you a chance to think before acting; to assess your motives and aggressions before reacting; to find your inner demons and send them packing before they continue to interfere with your life. Indecision and delays can be an clue that you need to make better plans -- back to the drawing board!! with renewed patience...
Mars will Retrograde in
Cancer in the autumn of 2007. The section of your chart where Mars is Retrograde is likely the place where you experience the most inertia BEFORE the Retrograde station and the most backward movement or even loss of recent gains DURING the Retrograde of Mars in the CARDINAL sign of Cancer.
Despite something that seemed promising before a Mars Retrograde, progress can start to seem like an unrealistic dream as you feel a loss of enthusiasm and energy for whatever seemed to be so exciting while Mars was traveling direct. However, in the WATER sign of Cancer, there may be some emotional considerations you overlooked in your previous haste and increased action can bring up more sensitive issues than anticipated.
Since everything seems to be moving in slow motion during Mars Retrograde, tension can turn inward and frustration can manifest as inflammations, fevers, rashes, cuts&bruises, accidents, or muscle strains. And if you continue to be stubborn, the tension can manifest in general irritability and an increase in arguments, especially when Mars is Retrograde in Gemini. This may not be the best time to start a new communication or writing project, and if you do, you may abandon it or just lose energy for it when Mars stations Direct at the end of January 2008. It IS a great time to complete long-term projects and learn to take rest breaks before YOU break!"
