Retrograde Mercury tests our strength again and again. We become vulnerable, put off expensive purchases, and blame the planet for all our failures. What if we told you that Mercury isn’t the only retrograde planet that has a strong influence on people?
The famous Mercury has a worthy rival who, for some reason, has remained in the shadows until now. We’re talking about retrograde Mars, which begins its retrograde motion two to three times a year.
During this period, you need to pay close attention to the actions of others and not demand attention from them to your person. On the contrary, a person should try not to attract excessive attention to himself in order not to spoil his relationships with loved ones and partners and to preserve his energy.
Astrologist Yulia Maynik explains especially for The Fashion Vibes how we should live such a period correctly, what tasks and lessons she has prepared for us.
