Hello Astrology Friends!
Mars is making a major move this weekend, and while today and tomorrow may feel relatively quiet, don’t be fooled—this is the calm before the storm. The main event? Mars is stationing to go direct Sunday 2/23 at 9 PM EST!
Mars in Station: A Moment of Intensity
Planetary stations are never a quick flip of a switch.
✨ Mars has already slowed to a near halt.
✨ He will remain at the exact same degree and minute all weekend.
✨ If you’re sensitive to planetary energy, you’re probably already feeling this.
There’s a sense of anticipation in the air—like something is about to shift.
Reflecting on Mars Retrograde: A Period of Slowdowns
Mars has been retrograde since December 6th, starting in Leo and moving backward into Cancer on January 6th.
✨ Have your plans for the new year felt stalled?
✨ Have projects struggled to gain traction?
✨ Or even felt like things have gone backwards instead of forward?
That’s Mars retrograde in action.
Mars rules energy, action, drive, and momentum, but when retrograde, those forces get turned inward.
Instead of charging ahead, we’re asked to pause, reflect, and recalibrate.
Now?
Mars is Waking Up!
When a planet stations, it’s actually at its strongest.
Think of an archer pulling back a bowstring—there’s a moment of tension, of stillness...
Before the arrow launches forward.
So while you might not feel an immediate burst of energy, trust that the momentum is building.
A Rare Window ~ Every Planet Moving Forward
Here’s something incredibly special about next week:
✨ From Monday through Friday, every single planet will be direct.
✨ No retrogrades.
✨ A cosmic green light for progress and action.
✨ A full-speed-ahead moment we need to take advantage of.
But it won’t last long.
Because after just five days of forward momentum...
✨ Venus stations retrograde next Saturday.
✨ Mercury follows soon after.
So what should you do now?
✨ Rest. Hydrate. Recharge.
✨ Get clear on your next steps. The time for action is coming fast.
✨ Trust the process.
Even if things still feel slow this weekend, Mars is getting ready to move forward.
Because next week? It’s go time!
Final Thoughts ~ Full Speed Ahead!
If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to take action—this is it.
Mars is waking up.
The energy is shifting.
And next week?
✨The universe is giving us the push we’ve been waiting for✨
So take this weekend as the calm before the storm.
Make your plans. Get your mind right.
Because come Monday?
It’s full speed ahead!
