These Zodiac Signs Will Thrive After Mars Retrograde Ends
Is it just us, or have the first two months of the year felt just too long?
February 2025 is slowly inching towards an end and if it felt like the first two months of the year just dragged on, you’re not wrong. The Mars retrograde that we entered the year with has finally come to an end!
What Is Mars Retrograde?
Mars, the planet of action, ambition, and drive, is known for pushing us to move forward and get things done. But when it goes retrograde (ie appears to move backwards), everything slows down. Think longstanding plans coming to a standstill, motivation dipping, and frustration creeping in. The good news? Once Mars stations direct, the cosmic traffic clears. The Mars retrograde that began on 6 December 2024 is finally over.
