September 7 through September 13, 2020
We may not get much done on Monday, but if there is anything that just has to be completed, be sure to get to it on Tuesday, as the rest of the week will be a free-for-all! Mars will go retrograde on Wednesday, a cycle that typically only happens once every two years. For the next two months it will be traveling backward, and being the planet of movement and action, we may all feel like we’re traveling in circles and unable to get any traction or make any headway. Mars will be retracing its steps in Aries, the sign it rules, making it especially challenging for Aries and fire signs Leo and Sagittarius. It’s higher purpose is to give us the chance to go back and do things differently, quite appropriate since it will be retrograde during the 2020 election and won’t resume forward motion until November 13th. Jupiter will turn direct on Saturday, ending it’s four-month retrograde cycle and bringing things back into balance on a personal level. It may take a few weeks for it to “get back on track,” but once it does, we’ll find it easier to see the gifts in any blocks or delays Mars creates as it begins its bi-annual retrograde cycle.
