Sagittarius Zodiac Sign - November 22 to December 21
How The Incredibly Rare Mars Retrograde Affects Each Zodiac Sign From Now Until February 23
Mars Retrograde is the rarest of all retrogrades in astrology, occurring approximately every 26 months and it's here! Starting on December 6, 2024 and continuing until February 23, 2025, this transit packs a big punch for all zodiac signs, as it signals a period of drastic change.
Mars retrograde can stir up frustration and slow down progress, making it harder to move forward with plans or assert yourself. People might feel more irritable or impatient, and there could be a tendency to revisit old conflicts or unfinished projects. It's a time to focus on reflection, reassessing your goals, and avoiding rash decisions.
To survive these this transit with all of your relationships and emotions in tact, it's best to first understand how this particular Mars Retrograde will affect your specific zodiac sign.
Aries

"Aries, I think you're gonna be doing a lot of renovations at home externally and internally with your family," explains astrologer Helena Hathor. Whether it's a good or bad thing, a lot is coming out in the open that will require Aries to be fully present and calm.
It might get uncomfortable as family members begin to open up and slowly express how they're feeling. "You're gonna have to really sit there with a stress ball squeezing it," she added.
"And if you are doing renovations on the house don't get frustrated if they get delayed," said Hathor. Remember that it is a process and creating strategic plans is the best way to overcome it as you're moved by Mars.
Taurus
Design: YourTango
For the lucky Earth sign Taurus, expect your career to absolutely grow in a wonderful way. According to Hathor, with Venus and Pluto in conjunction, massive waves will be made while you're climbing the corporate ladder. "It is in opposition to Mars and Leo and this is gonna make a lot of family members jealous of you," said Hathor.
However, it's important to remind yourself not to play small. Understand that you worked hard for it and that you deserve to brag about it as a result. "But, just be aware that people are gonna be in your face about it."
On top of that, there will be a few problems at home. You'll need to practice forgiveness and letting things go. Don't allow any erratic behaviors of the people you love to rattle you and laugh their behavior off with ease instead.
Gemini
Design: YourTango
You're in luck, Gemini. Mars retrograde will actually help you problem-solve and have a little bit more patience than usual. Hathor explained that "any grudges that you have between friends and family will be resolved."
However, it might be good to be prepared for unexpected confrontations with family members as they speak their minds more. But it won't be your fault. She "They're probably gonna be jealous of you because Mars does have that tendency and it does have that resentment when it comes to what you have," she revealed.
Additionally, Jupiter's retrograde and Mercury's retrograde in Sagittarius bring up people, feelings, and events from the past. Luckily, Gemini can transform those things into something positive if they choose to.
Hathor also suggested to "embrace a slower lifestyle for a time." She explained that it's important to relax and not go into planning mode right away. Things might get delayed and having patience and understanding is key to getting by.
You may experience some miscommunication in your daily life. That said, be sure to think before speaking as your words will have a profound impact moving forward.
Cancer
Design: YourTango
"Someone is taking care of you financially [and] I think it's really quite an overwhelming gift," revealed Hathor. That said, Cancers shouldn't be making any haste decisions right now. She explained that it's important to access what you have as Mars retrograde isn't always fun.
"Mars retrograde takes business owners by surprise, so, have a Plan B and put your money away now." Yet, your future isn't bleak.
Hathor explained that there could be a gift heading your way as you slowly begin to give back to others — something Cancers have always wanted to do.
Leo
Design: YourTango
"I actually think December is very romantic for you," began Hathor. Perhaps it's the fact that Pluto and Venus are conjunct in Aquarius and Mars is the opposite that your luck in romance is about to blossom. Whether it's intimacy or commitment, you're relationships are about to get a whole lot deeper.
That said, don't go messing around with making drastic changes to your looks, warned Hathor. She explained that this period isn't the best time as active additional changes are heading your way.
So, if you have that strong desire for a major upgrade then wait until March or April of next year. And, "If you got this you can survive Mars retrograde," without blinking an eye.
Virgo
Design: YourTango
"Virgo, Mars retrograde in Leo really gives you some deep insight into your subconscious," began Hathor. As a result, you'll start projecting yourself onto other people without really meaning to. "So, make sure that it's projecting the best version of yourself, the evolved version." O
Knowing all this, Virgo must meditate often before ruffling feathers with the people around them. It's unfortunate, but Mercury Reotrade has a tendency to create tons of miscommunication. It's important to watch your actions, and most importantly, take care of your mental health.
"So, stay away from alcohol [and] don't drink too much at Christmas," ended Hathor.
Libra
Design: YourTango
"You're gonna be very popular, but you're gonna get a lot of haters as well," began Hathor. As a result, Mars Retrograde might cause Libras to feel suffocated or anxious.
Yet, it's important to remember that there's little you can do to change people's minds. In the words of Hathor, "Haters are gonna hate, what you gonna do." So the best way to deal with it is to simply ignore them completely or treat them with kindness.
Virgos are also expected to attract a completely new friend group. "Best thing for you is to work on exciting creative projects and not launch new ones."
Libra is going through a massive transformation. As a result, try not to make any physical adjustments that you can't change. Your transformation will likely do it for you.
Scorpio
Design: YourTango
"Scorpio, Mars Retrograde might bring some delays with your work and career," began Hathor. Because of this, it isn't wise to start anything new. Instead, this water sign should focus on the projects they already have lined up.
"Assessing all the actions that you've taken to date, taking stock of all the profit that you've made throughout the years [is] a good way to utilize this time," she explained.
However, things might not be so hot with family members. Constant arguing and disagreements may have already started during the shadow period. "Just be ready to deal with that and transform that energy." Forgiving and letting that go is key to healing from past pain and growing as an individual. She added, "Don't get bogged down by other people trying to guilt trip you".
Finally, when it comes to your career, pay special attention to who you're working with. Hathor advised that focusing on these relationships might be wise and lead to greater opportunities and connections during this time.
Sagittarius
Design: YourTango
"Sagittarius, you are the Belle of the ball for Christmas. Everybody loves to have you around," began Hathor. You're the fire sign that keeps peace and with Mars retrograde in Leo, this will certainly come in handy.
Hathor suggested that from now until February it's important to be OK with detouring and finding enjoyment in it. Embrace your close relationships as they become increasingly intimate.
"Venus is gonna be conjunct Pluto, opposite Mars. So, for you, it's really transforming it to the next level of intimacy." She warned that there will be a need to avoid making hasty decisions for any long-term goals or ideas. "Instead, work on what you have right now," she added.
Capricorn
Design: YourTango
For the Earth Sign Capricorn, you might be seeing some financial wins from now until 2025, according to Hathor. "I think you have it the best, to be honest with you. Mars in Leo really is going to turn over the money that you've been investing from the whole year."
As a result, expect financial abundance to head your way during Mars Retrograde. She continued, "Venus conjunct opposite Mars is actually really good for your money." However, this benefit comes with a warning, Capricorn.
Spending excessively can ruin your financial future as some projects you're currently working on are expected to lose steam next year. So, what should you do to prepare? According to Hathor, "The best thing to do is really examine your finances." Figure out where to invest and where to save.
Aquarius
Design: YourTango
Aquarius, be prepared to buckle up. This transit will be a bit uncomfortable as old flings begin entering your life again. Hathor explained that "they can be romantic, they can be professional. Be prepared to meet them and say what you have to say."
With Mars retrograde, there might be a bit of built-up resentment in your system. As a result, Aquarius should be hyper-aware of that tendency, especially throughout December.
"So basically, just have ready whatever it is you gotta say and just understand that forgiveness is the best way to move past someone or an issue." Continuing any negativity may cause Aquarius to unintentionally block themselves from growth and prosperity.
So, take a deep breath and keep moving forward. Finding ways to make peace is exactly what you need to keep yourself balanced and happy.
"If you're making plans with your partner, they could suddenly fall through, so, just have a plan B," said Hathor. Be prepared for the unexpected and find enjoyment in the detour.
Pisces
Design: YourTango
Pisces may find that Mars Retrograde causes them to be frustrated with family members, especially during the holiday season. Constant arguing or disagreements might arise that'll drive our dreamy water sign up a wall.
"You are the one who has the authority," said Hathor. Furthermore, with Saturn in Pisces, you'll find it easier to be confrontational and to be the "justice of peace" in your family.
"There's so much going on at home and there's so much going on with your career." Changes have happened throughout the year, yet sitting down and reflecting about how you got to each stage is a great place to start. Through this gratitude and intention, Pisces will be able to better assess their long-term goals, which will be a huge benefit in the year to come.

4 Zodiac Signs Enter A Powerful New Era During Mars Retrograde From Now Until February 23
On December 6, 2024, Mars will station retrograde in the sign of Leo affecting four zodiac signs in big ways. The first part of this intense transit will be impacting early degree Fixed signs and having them retrace their footsteps from the August 2024 Mercury retrograde transit in Virgo and Leo.
The energy now will be centered on communication, taking action and personal transformation since Mars retrograde will be in opposition with Pluto. On January 6, 2025, Mars retrograde will re-enter the sign of Cancer, shifting the focus on Cardinal signs until Mars stations direct on February 23, 2025.
With Mars in a Cardinal sign, this can feel like a bittersweet transit, allowing us to take more initiative, be in command but also learning more about applying emotional intelligence to our connections.
Mars in this sign encapsulates our power struggle as we look back to Pluto in Capricorn and how it has allowed us all to evolve. Once Mars re-enters Leo, we can officially bid adieu to the chapters from the Pluto in Capricorn era.
1. Leo
Design: YourTango
A period of personal evaluation as Mars retrograde helps to illuminate Leos and grants you the discipline to work through anything you may not have completed during the Mercury Retrograde transit back in August. Moving forward comes easier since Mars pushes you to take action. On the flip side, you are learning how to be there for others and listen to them in ways that make your connection more valuable.
Mars makes you a valuable leader, allowing you to take charge and be more comfortable with your communication as well, with Jupiter making a sextile to your sign. If there are any gaps you need to fill, you are prepared to learn from others and take the advice and constructive criticism from mentors.
As Mars continues to move back and forth between your sign and Cancer, you will be able to understand the value you have and what you can bring to the table.
2. Cancer
Design: YourTango
On January 6, 2025, Mars retrograde will enter your sign once more, making this a potent transit that will bring to focus what you have endured and learned during the last 16 years when Pluto was in Capricorn. Mars retrograde allows you to go back, to restructure and to see the metamorphosis. You are finding out how to connect with who you are and see the strengths and talents that may not have reached full potential.
With Pluto no longer making an opposition to your sign, this can feel like a renewal, as you can fully embrace the Mars energy, making you confident while teaching you how to show love for yourself. Expect to have new relationships, friendships and business partnerships that feel more relaxed. The transit can be a start of your renaissance, helping you to close old stories, heal old emotional wounds and embrace the change ahead.
3. Aquarius
Design: YourTango
There is an evolution occurring in your relationship house that will allow you to learn how to preserve better connections moving forward. As Mars stations retrograde, there will be a deep analysis of the qualities you want in a partner, the type of companions you are seeking and what they can bring to the table.
Mars retrograde will be in opposition to your sign, an energy that you are currently experiencing and with Pluto in the mix this can bring ups and downs but the challenges will be something you easily overcome.
With Mars entering Cancer early next year, you will shift your focus once more on developing structure within your work or learning environment. This means being more disciplined with responsibilities and learning how to collaborate with others. Mars is here to help you take more in charge and learn how to balance power and control.
4. Capricorn
Design: YourTango
Although Pluto has moved away from your sign, the Mars retrograde transit can bring to light how you may be hungry for love and acceptance. During this new era, you are learning how to heal the impact from Pluto in your sign and learning how to be there for those you love as well as yourself.
Pluto made you guarded and the concept of vulnerability was not something you were as open to, nevertheless, Mars will re-enter your partnership house on January 6, 2025 and Pluto will no longer be on your ascendant.
A period of clarity and restructuring is on its way, as you evaluate how you want to be perceived in all relationships. Are you a compassionate friend, colleague or partner? Or the leader that everyone respects? Mars retrograde can be a moment to present how you want to be seen moving forward.
