In the afternoon, Mars stations retrograde in Leo until February 23, 2025. Mars retrograde invites us to reflect on our actions, feelings, triggers, and motivations. It will remain in Leo until January 6, 2025, before returning to Cancer. During this time, our egos and emotions may feel out of sync. This is a powerful opportunity to shift focus from external achievements to building internal security. Strengthen your emotional foundation and take action from a place of authenticity. Remember to take it easy—there’s no need to rush.
Another shift takes place in the evening when Venus enters progressive Aquarius, marking a time of growth in love and values. Between now and January 2, when Venus moves into Pisces, you're invited to break free from old patterns and explore more inclusive, dynamic ways of connecting with others. You may feel drawn to eccentric people, places, and experiences that awaken your individuality. Venus will guide you in mastering the art of compromise!
