The things that seem annoying in others, only reflect your own annoyance in yourself. Those triggers on the inside, the situations, and behaviors that cause you to feel horrifically jealous, furious, or contemptuous, show you the elements that you struggle with on a personal level. Check what’s causing you annoyance, unease, or tension. Whatever is bubbling under your skin, is exactly the thing that needs addressing. During the retrograde, intensity bubbles under the surface. Mars is an intense planet at the best of times and of all the astrological events in 2022 - this is one to watch.

The proliferation of openly fiery emotions and their associated behaviors may be done, but the repercussions will endure for the rest of the post-retrograde shadow period, which is the time that Mars needs to get back to where it was when the retrograde started.
Mars goes direct on January 12, 2023, which marks the end of the retrograde, but it’s not exactly over yet. Watch out for feelings of unchecked anger or a period of unease around fiery emotions. The shadow phase, which is the time during which Mars makes its way through Gemini at the exact locations that it will later reverse, starts on September 3, 2022. Since Mars rules our fiery side, expect to feel very sleepy, especially if you’re ruled by Mars, like Aries and Scorpio, or if Mars is in your sign right now, like Gemini. Mars appears to be standing still in the sky, and then starts to move backward from October 20, 2022. This Mars retrograde of 2022 should be a lot less fiery, but the sense of confusion will come about again. Back then, we were in the midst of collective global panic, going from lockdown to lockdown, with the COVID-19 vaccine entering the final stages of its pre-distribution trials. The previous Mars retrograde occurred between the dates of September 9, 2020, and November 13, 2020, in the very fiery sign of Aries. Is all the drive and fire worth it, for the results desired? The long months of Mars retrograde in Gemini call on us to get our energetic house in order. It requires us to think whether the effort is worth it for every desire, and makes us choose between what we really want, and what is just a flight of fancy. Instead of feeling energized, we feel drained and discouraged. But when retrograde, Mars could see us get caught up in self-doubt, and a stop-start routine. So when Mars is direct, it shows us both our temper and our passions and gives us the drive to go for what we want. When a planet goes retrograde, it lets us experience the shadow side of its regular traits.
The sky, in astrology, is divided into 12 signs, and the planets appear to move between them, so during a retrograde, a planet is going back to parts of the sign that it’s just been in. However, people only see things from their own perspective, so from our perch on Earth, we may perceive a planet going backward for a period of time, because Earth is in its own orbit, and so the planet could be appearing to change direction, even though it isn’t.
