Mars retrograde = Action, but in circles

Mars retrograde pulls action inward. The fire burns, but turns back. Energy rises, then fades again. They want to act, but wait. Steps forward feel unsure, unsteady. Each decision feels heavier than expected. Doubt whispers at every turn. Choices seem to circle endlessly. The will to move stays trapped. The heart pushes, but the path bends. Frustration builds where action slows down.

This indecision grows from reflection. It is not fear that stops them. It is the need to be certain. They question the purpose of action. The impulse to act meets silence. Plans form, then fall apart inside. They walk forward, then pause again. The mind turns over each choice. They long for clear direction, but hesitate. The tension lingers, quiet but strong. The weight of meaning holds them still.

Mars retrograde asks for patience. It teaches that strength is quiet. It shows that speed is not all. The path winds, but still moves. Action comes after deep thought. Even slow steps can hold power. The gift is knowing when to act. The lesson is to trust the pause. The journey circles, but reaches truth. The fire stays, waiting for its time.
