Over the past few weeks, you have felt frustrated or stuck when it comes to material resources and financial security. You may have found yourself overspending, feeling underappreciated, or stressed about your finances. On Monday, Mars retrograde backstrokes into Cancer. Your focus shifts to home, family, and personal growth. You might experience complicated feelings about your role as a caregiver or provider, or feel uncertain about balancing your needs with those of others. This period may highlight areas where you’ve been overly cautious or passive in expressing your needs. You might carry a grudge or hidden sense of hurt but find it challenging to address the issue directly. This retrograde stirs emotional blockages and old patterns related to your identity. It’s a period of slowing down and aligning your outward expression with a more profound emotional truth. Avoid forcing a new personal change or direction. Instead, prioritize nourishing internal shifts and emotional clarity before acting.
