How are you all holding up during this Mars Retrograde?

This topic was created in the Aries forum by Retrogradient on Saturday, May 28, 2016 and has 14 replies.
Mars slipped wayy back into Scorpio today, was retro in Sagittarius since April 18th. I've been uncharacteristically mad as hell about inconsequential, silly things lately but have been doing a good job of keeping it to myself. (I learned a lot about anger management from the 2014 mars retro haha). I have noticed though, how angry everyone around me seems lately. How have you fellow Rams been faring? I have a feeling the period in Scorpio may be a little easier since Scorp's a a bit of a mars sister sign.
Past few weeks have been up & down. It's been rough but im doing a good job as well keeping it to myself. Hopefully Scorpio can make things more even keeled
Drained mentally and emotionally.
I'm just sad/annoyed all the time but I keep it to myself.

I hear that. I've snapped out of the sad/annoyed stages a few times but it's hard to stay consistent lately. I didn't even think about the retrograde.

As soon as I come in contact w/ someone, it's as if nothing is wrong. I just switch into that mode and I honestly can't even control it. I think it's because I like to give people my undivided attention if we're speaking. Sometimes my mind will drift but overall, you would never know I was at the bottom of the abyss of my mind a second ago. Once they leave, straight back to sad thoughts and straight face (bitch face, I can't help that =/)

Plus, I don't like speaking on negativity and I don't want to project negative energy onto anyone else ever.
Sort of overwhelming, but especially today. Felt like I was carrying an extra weight on me today.

I hope all goes well for you.
Very up and down as well and really reevaluating my life goals and choices. I've been easily irritated in terms of interpersonal relationships too -- with people who typically rely on me for moral support and overall cheerleading, I've had a real desire to put my foot down and tell them to nut up and deal with it on their own. It's been good and bad. I've grown a bit and learned more about myself, but I am really really REALLY ready for June 29th to hit and this cycle to end.

I agree. I'm learning a lot and with some relationships, I'm feeling the same. At the end of this I feel like we will experience a lot of growth.

That's what I'm aiming and hoping for.
I had a very big argument with my father, so I'm feeling nauseous inside. My stepmother's service dog ran away. But I love my siblings, BF and my cats. I've been shopping around for a bike and a set of weights.

Not sure this has anything to do with anything, though, because I don't know about this retrograde.

Yes, I just want to be alone lately. I also like to give people my undivided attention. I call it the abyss too! Or "black hole" /: lol I dislike being negative around other people. I'm mostly a very positive, optimistic person. Those black hole/abyss can be extremely overwhelming. Hope everything gets better with u too

I think we will too, honestly. I'm just interested in how it all carries over when Mars goes direct.

I'm learning some things myself
Curious how it will all carry over too
When did this begin?

My uncle has been unwell. He's a Virgo sun/Cap moon/Cancer mars/Scorpio Venus? Rising unknown. Born in 1962??

i am also arians and i feel so much depression i was always be a strong personality ...but now of these days words are hitting in my mind i dun know wats going on i am also suffering from frozen thoughts i thin m gonna mad...plzz hlp guys...
you referred to this retrograde hitting aries - I was not aware of a particular sign in which the planets in retrograde affect - HOWEVER, I have been totally fucked up - my Venus is in Aries and I have another planet or two in Aries ...

I think it was June 7 when all the 5 planets were now out of retro so I am hoping things calm down for me - everything in my life has been affected and I don't know which way to turn. I have tried to stay busy with chores and stay out of the mess but then I get so drained with all the mess that I'm a total basket case. My job, my house, my finances, my relationship - I guess there's not much else that could go the fuck wrong - AMEN
