The road forward isn’t clear just yet but we are getting there as Mars goes from retrograde to direct motion on the afternoon of January 12th. The action planet is in Gemini a sign ruled by currently retrograde Mercury so things are still in a holding pattern.

In the mean time we could be feeling a little extra frustrated, situations may seem hopelessly stalled, and low energy and motivation are rampant. It will get better as Mercury also switches to forward motion next week on the 18th and by January 22 we will have the final planet in retrograde, Uranus, moving direct once again. Be prepared for the log jam to become unstuck as we move into February.

Mars has been retrograde since October 30, 2022, and in Gemini since August 20, 2022. Mars will finally leave Gemini on March 25, 2023. Signs impacted the most include Gemini, Aries, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Virgo and Pisces, any natal planets in these signs or houses ruled by them.
