Summer of Retrogrades

The Mars Retrograde in Aquarius runs from June 26, 2018 until August 27, 2018. Aries and Scorpio will be feeling this retrograde in a big way. Mars is an important planet for both of these signs. Mars is considered the God of War. All of us should avoid the tendency to put on blinders, charge ahead and take no prisoners. This is especially true for impatient Aries and suspicious Scorpios. It will probably be a good idea to “chill” and enjoy the summer. Avoid the strong impulse to get angry and cause havoc if you do not get your way.

Mars Retrograde June 27 - August 28, 2018

Mars Retrograde started on June 27, 2018 in Aquarius, goes into Capricorn on August 13, 2018 and goes direct on August 28th in Capricorn. This will be a very strong Retrograde because of the Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse on July 27th along with a Mercury Retrograde taking place at about the same time. 

Blood Moon - Lunar Eclipse - July 27, 2018

The total lunar eclipse that takes place on July 27, 2018 could be life changing. It is probably the longest lunar eclipse of the century.The Moon should glow beautifully with orange and red. Enjoy the glow and the beauty, but keep in mind that this seemingly magically visual event takes place in the sign of Aquarius and will probably be strongly influenced by the Mercury and Mars Retrogrades.
