The past few weeks set your healing journey ablaze. You’re ready to let go of the past. On Monday, Mars retrograde backstrokes into Cancer. Past conflicts or misunderstandings may resurface in your close relationships, urging you to address them. Emotions run high. Although your instinct is to withdraw into a self-protective shell, lean into the discomfort of processing buried emotions. You may feel a strong urge to “fix” things or rush your reactions. However, taking a step back before making any moves is essential. Reflect on how to nurture your love life for the long term rather than reacting to short-term frustrations or passing feelings. By revisiting the root causes of past issues and reframing your approach to conflict and intimacy, you create lasting, meaningful changes in your partnerships—without the risk of repeating past mistakes. This retrograde is ideal for healing rifts or disconnection. Patience is required as your relationships may feel slow-moving, frustrating, or uncertain.
