On Monday, Mars retrograde slips into Cancer. The past few weeks stirred deeper emotions about authenticity, creativity, and inner child joy. Unresolved issues or patterns in relationships may have surfaced. Your attention now shifts to home, family, and emotional roots. This period prompts you to revisit old family issues, childhood memories, or unresolved emotional matters. This retrograde could bring up frustrations around home life, parental relationships, or your sense of emotional security. Take care to notice your emotional blockages or repressed feelings. Cancer is a sign that prefers to protect and retreat inwardly rather than confront directly. During Mars retrograde, this might manifest as passive-aggressive behavior or indirect ways of dealing with conflict, especially within close family or home relationships. You may feel tension between your boundaries and space and your responsibilities or roles within your family or household.
