You’re being asked to be gentle with yourself during this Mars Retrograde period. If you find yourself feeling nostalgic about the past, or if you’re being overly critical of yourself or others, that’s a clear sign that you need to slow down and make more time for rest. Even if there are many things you want to say or do right now, it’s best for you to take a step back from your most impulsive instincts and really think about what’s essential for you at this point in your life. Your mind may be feeling quite scattered right now, so don’t put too much pressure on yourself to have it all figured out at once.
