Mars Retrograde 2022 - Everything You Need to Know

A lot has been heard and written about Mars. Both the good and bad aspects of this plan are equally intriguing. If Mars in its correct motion can cause much upheaval, well, we can imagine what would happen if this fiery planet reversed its motion (its reverse motion is not real but relative to earth’s vantage point). Though relative, Mars in its retrograde motions will exert magnified effects, puke out the secrets, and give you a different high.
Let’s see what this brawny planet in retrograde has in store for you
Effects of Mars Retrograde for Aries
Aries signifies a rush of energy, a fit of rage, and a heavy smack of creativity. Dear Aries, this Mars retrograde will toss your life in all three of these aspects!
Aries is a head sign, and needless to say, you have too much energy rushing up your head. So, all we can say is watch out! Avoid getting into unnecessary brawls with people, especially your siblings and neighbors.
Your creativity will challenge you, as you may feel blocked while expressing ideas, but you’ll come up with the best ideas if you push your brain cells a bit harder. Above all else during this retrograde, be patient with your loved ones.
Effects of Mars Retrograde for Taurus

Effects of Mars Retrograde for Capricorn
You’re a total workaholic, right? Now, this Mars retrograde may show an unusual upshot in your workaholic tendencies, so it’s here that you need to be careful about your health.
This retrograde will send you on an overthinking spree. You must try to avoid overthinking during this time. Yours is a sign of action, and so is Mars a planet of action. Act where you must, but avoid taking trivial things too seriously.
Spend time in the company of happy people, visit cheerful places, practice (or learn) relaxation techniques, and, very importantly, drink enough water to clear your mind.
Effects of Mars Retrograde for Aquarius
You have a cool panache, but this time Mars is retrograde, which may crash your cool style. But worry not! You’ll be fine as long as you don’t fight against the Martian forces. By this, we mean that if you feel blocked in a project or relationship, don’t push too hard. Just go with the flow. You are a pathfinder, but here, you must learn and accept that it’s okay to lose track sometimes.
A retrograde Mars will take you more and more inward, and you’ll stumble upon those wonderful abilities that are yet to be awakened. Be careful while you communicate with friends, relatives, and colleagues; also, this is not the right time to be an idealist, ( which you otherwise are).
Effects of Mars Retrograde for Pisces
Dear Pisces, the line between dreams and reality is about to blur. Mars retrograde is around to bring in conflicts and confusions. You’ll be a mushy creature, but this is the best time to learn how to control your emotions. Write your feelings down if need be. Writing what you feel will give you clarity and enable you to take constructive actions. Don’t get finicky if your plans don’t work or try your patience.
This phase is just teaching you to keep your confidence and cultivate a sense of deep awareness. Open up only to those whom you completely trust. Take care of your health, avoid intoxication, and turn to meditation to cope with the challenging effects of this retrograde.
You see, Mars is a difficult planet with even tougher aspects. These aspects challenge you, nag you, and are quite good at throwing you off your pench. These aspects will rock your world, shake your ribs, and roil your inner peace. This planet can be mischievous with your sexual energies, making you hot and spicy at one point and taking you low to feeling inhibited and disinterested at another.
Conclusion #
Health, sex, work, children, travel, companionship—you name it, and the presence of Mars will not spare you of its powerful effects.

But understand that this planet in retrograde is around to teach you important life lessons—now it all depends on you how you crack the negative effects and with what humility you accept the positive ones.
