On Sunday, Mars goes direct, concluding its retrograde that began last December. The past few months may have caused delays or frustrations in your social life, group activities, or long-term ambitions. Mars retrograde might have introduced tension or frustration in friendships, especially regarding feelings of support or understanding, or prompted you to reflect on the nature of your friendships. You may have reconsidered who belongs in your inner circle, what types of social experiences you truly crave, or where your social energy is best directed. You might have felt emotionally unfulfilled or disconnected—whether from friends, coworkers, or even an online community. Thursday’s new moon in Pisces ushers in a fresh relationship cycle. Take time to quietly reflect on how you connect with others, how you engage in your close relationships, and the qualities you seek in another person. Foster greater empathy and compassion in your key relationships, promoting mutual support and unconditional love.
