Mars retrograde on December 6th throws your entire life into reverse.  Not only will this thwart all future progress for the time being, but it looks like you’ll be drawn back into a recent crisis you survived, disaster you averted, or accident you walked away from. It’s kind of like making a last-minute escape from a burning building only to realize that you forgot something valuable and must now go back to retrieve it. People will warn against doing such a thing and a big part of you will agree with them; however Mars, named after the Roman god of war, has a strict “no person left behind” policy. This pertains to any loved one in need, situation in peril or karmic obligation you’ve still yet to fulfill. The way that Mars retrograde works is that it will flood your horoscope with an overriding anxiety and remorse that won’t let up away until you do what should have been done all along.  You may not act right away, but you will eventually and if you weren’t a hero before, you will be by the time Mars comes out of retrograde on February 24th.
