How You’re Healing This March (Thanks To The End Of Mars Retrograde On 2/24)

Mars retrograde ends on February 24, 2025, and will remain in direct motion until January of 2027.

With Mars governing drive and ambition, its retrograde brought roadblocks and challenges in the pursuit of goals we deeply align with. Mars is now moving forward, presenting an opportunity to ease aches and pains. Here is what each Zodiac sign can expect with Mars now in direct motion.

Aries

With Mars as your ruling planet, Aries, you’ve felt this retrograde immensely. Typically fearless, you may have lingering self-doubts leading you to uncharacteristically question yourself and your capabilities. Obstacles are clearing, and as you feel a surge of energy, take steps of decisive action. This brings you back in alignment with your normal sense of self.

Taurus

You’ve been in a process of thinking through long-term decisions, Taurus. With Mars moving forward, heightened motivation to pursue career advancement, invest in a specific relationship, or make a major life transition will arise. Clarity is replacing hesitation, and you will find solutions to the questions you’ve been asking.

Gemini

Curious and inquisitive, Gemini, Mars retrograde was a time to ask deep questions. Some misunderstandings or hard feelings may have arisen. It’s time to clear up any loose ends. Prioritize communicating with others and streamline the steps you need to take to move forward. 

Cancer

Mars retrograde likely brought an immense sense of burnout for you, Cancer. With Mars now direct, your health and daily routines are in need of a revamp. Although pausing and slowing down can be necessary, movement is medicine for you right now. Prioritize self-care and it will pay dividends moving forward.

Leo

Energetic Leo, Mars direct will bring about a burst of energy to approach new relationships with evolved communication. You shine when sharing the spotlight with others and will benefit from new connections. Encourage yourself to try a new hobby, enter a new chapter of personal growth, or network with others.

Virgo

You’re attentive and detail-oriented, Virgo. During Mars retrograde, you’ve likely experienced an amplified sense of groundlessness. Perhaps goals haven’t been going the way you want them to, leading to harsh self-talk. With Mars now direct, actions and results may seem more logical, yet caring for the person underneath is foundational.

Libra

Balanced and driven for harmony, Libra, old patterns of people-pleasing, conflict avoidance, and neglecting to speak personal opinion have been present. With Mars now direct, energy to commit to personal goals and values will arise. To live in greater alignment with personal truth requires an evolution from self-limiting behaviors. Challenge yourself to be more assertive and have the hard conversations that need to take place.

Scorpio

Driven for growth and personal transformation, Scorpio, Mars retrograde brought a sense of opposing values and goals. This period of internal struggle is over. Now, you have an opportunity to enact change that reflects lessons you’ve learned. As we transition into Mars direct, focus on creating a mindset of abundance that embodies the person you know you are in your core. 

Sagittarius

Things have felt out of sorts recently, Sagittarius. Perhaps opportunities and adventures don’t have the same magic you typically find in them. With Mars now direct, motivation to step foot into the unknown is calling. Listen to these urges with compassion, and check in to see where self-talk lays.

Capricorn

Wise Capricorn, you’ve been able to keep your cool when goals aren’t manifesting quite the way you want them to. Be honest about how you’ve been feeling and let go of any unmet expectations. It’s okay to lean into lightness and vibrancy.

Aquarius

Driven for community and individual self-expression, your tribe may not be clicking quite the way you want them to, Aquarius. Recognize that attempting to change others or conform yourself won’t guarantee any healthy results. Focus on returning to the sense of natural flow you long for, and watch as things start to fall into place.

Pisces

Empathetic and gentle, you may be feeling stuck in making progress on your own goals, Pisces. With Mars in direct motion, opportunities to focus on personal desires will re-align. Be diligent in maintaining personal boundaries, and equally celebrate the growth you notice in others.
