Impulsive actions can get you in trouble, especially if youвЂ™re out of touch with your instincts, and just lashing out in anger.

Before you вЂњwield the swordвЂќ to cut ties, make sure youвЂ™re in touch with your true desires.Is this a fight you need to win? Or would it be better to save your energy for a more important battle of wills? Are you just trying to win for the sake of winning, or do you really want this? If youвЂ™re engaged in a conflict, trust your instincts.Setting a boundary could lead to the freedom you need to move forward in clarity. If it feels hard to do, youвЂ™re right on track. You may become aware of the need to establish boundary due to a challenge, frustration or conflict. Use the retrograde to get in touch with what you really want. вЂњJust do it.вЂќ After the retrograde cycle, and before Mars moves into Taurus in 2021, itвЂ™s time for action.Become a formidable adversary, take a self-defense class, invest in your defensive skills.Re-evaluate or think about your ego-based desires and wants, what drives you, what gets you out of bed.Devote time to your physical activity (but be careful not to overdo it).The Sun-Mars aspects during and after the retrograde cycle can signal key turning points or events that move the story along. When Mars stations (retrograde or direct) there is an intensification of Mars energy. When Mars changes signs, there is a shift in the quality of energy.
