This post was updated.We're in for a significant shakeup for the remainder of 2024. This December, Mars will go retrograde (yep, it’s another one), and it will call for you to review your drive, energy, sex life, and anger and recalibrate your motivations. The last time Mars retrograded was early 2023, so reviewing the latter is long overdue. Find out about what this Mars 2025 retrograde means and how it will impact your sun, moon, and rising sign.
Here's what you can expect for the Mars retrograde in 2024! Scroll on for your horoscope!
When is Mars Retrograde?
Cora Pursley
Mars retrograde will begin on Friday, December 6, 2024, and ends its backspin on Sunday, February 23, 2025. The warrior planet will reign in the sign of Leo from December 6 to January 6 and then proceed to the sign of Cancer from January 6 to February 23, 2025.
What does Mars mean in astrology?
Cora Pursley
To understand how Mars retrograde works, let's learn about Mars and its planetary influence. Mars represents our drive, passion, and our approach to sex. This planet powers up your motivation and keeps you alive and thriving. When unbalanced, we can be impulsive, accident-prone, and argumentative.
As Mars moves through all the 12 signs and phases over positions in your birth chart, it also energizes you to make bold moves toward your desired goals. Mars transits feel succinct and are empowering overall. This planet fires up your energy and body while helping you get things done. Nothing can stand in the way of your momentum when tuning into the fiery planet. Often, if one has a series of Mars transits in their birth chart, it can be an impactful time to push through for projects. However, mindfulness is crucial during these periods. It can lead to misjudged decisions, and in these cases, carefully tread through integrating a reflective outlook.
What is Mars Retrograde?
Lindsay Piotter
When the action planet goes retrograde, it’s time to hit the brakes and recalibrate your energy and processes. If you scroll on Instagram or TikTok, you may have seen retrograde as a misnomer for a "doom-and gloom" time. I stand and continue to debunk this misconception. Retrogrades are a blessing in disguise as they allow us to experience rest, reflection, and rejuvenation. If you understand the planets' flow and rhythms, you'll be set up for success and be content. Mars retrograde will enable you to transmute your anger better and respond intentionally to conflict. Picture this retrograde as an opportunity to create a sacred practice and to be more in tune with your energy.
Know that when planets go retrograde, each one emanates a frequency and intensity in its effect. With Mars back spinning, we will feel its impact as it begins in the fire sign Leo in its early degrees and then proceeds to the dynamic sign Cancer. We will evaluate approaches regarding self-image, pride, inner security, and domestic life with these two signs.
Any Mars Retrograde Power Days?
Cora Pursley
On January 3, 2025, Mars will face off against Pluto, the planet of rebirth and power. These two planets will reveal a lesson or revelation involving your stance and views toward passion and success. It's about looking at the bigger picture instead of competing for self-centered reasons. Focus on pursuing happiness while preserving integrity for the greater good.
The Zodiac Signs Most Affected During This 2024-2025 Mars Retrograde
Lindsay Piotter
This Mars retrograde from December 6, 2024, to February 23, 2025, will impact those who have their sun or other astrological placements within 0 to 6 degrees of the fixed signs – Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius. The cardinal signs between 17 and 29 degrees of Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn will experience their ultimate glow-up even more than the fixed signs.
Your Mars Retrograde 2024-2025 Horoscope
Brooke Jackson
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Mars retrograde begins in your fifth house, slowing down your creative or romantic pursuits and urging you to reassess your passions and how you express them. For these next few weeks, take this opportunity to review your desires and focus on what truly lights you up—we believe in you! As the retrograde advances, the action planet takes over your fourth house of home, giving you the space to become more introspective and invest in your emotional needs while reviewing your closest relationships. Overall, it's not an ideal time to push past your limits in your relationships, it will be a pivotal time to take stock in what truly matters for your wellbeing.
Taurus (April 21 – May 21)
These next several weeks may be challenging involving home or with family as the Mars retrograde impacts your emotional security and living situation. With the war planet taking place in your fourth house of family and domestic life, avoid sweeping issues under the rug and confront unresolved matters with tact. Talk it out and find a solution as retrograde proceeds with Mars in your third house of communication. Observe your social connections and see if your skills need fine tuning through advanced study. It can be an excellent time to refresh your memory and perfect or teach others what you know.
Gemini (May 22 – June 21)
The motivation planet will shake up your third house, and these next several weeks will test your ability to convey messages, as this retrograde may bring delays or misunderstandings in your communication. To work with this, reflect before speaking. The wonderful part about this Mars retrograde is that you can slow down and methodically express your ideas and energy to others. You'll feel more energized as you discern. Mars then backs into your second house of finances and income, and it would be in your best interests to fine tune your approach to money and budgeting. Avoid impulsive spending and big purchases.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
This Mars retrograde may stir up financial uncertainties in the next few months as it takes residence in your second house. Don't worry. You can power up your self-worth and stance with money by reassessing your values and spending habits. Analyze how you manage your resources and make adjustments that align with your long-term security. Mars backspins and then powers up your sign in the first house, revealing how you emit energy. The lesson here is not to force your desired results. Slow down, let go, and rest.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
The Mars retrograde in your sign may stir up personal insecurities in the next few months. Don't worry. You can power up your self-worth and stance by taking small steps toward your goals or keeping your ideas on the back burner. It's a time to percolate and rebuild your self-esteem by celebrating small wins and practicing gratitude. Mars will then enter your twelfth house of subconscious realms, stimulating your dreams while giving you an extra boost of intuition. Listen intently, and you'll know what to do once Mars goes direct.
Virgo (August 23 – September 21)
You're about to enter your wildest dreams in 2025, but it begins by clearing out the cobwebs to step into your desired path. Mars retrograde in your twelfth house will help you slow down and confront your unwanted subconscious patterns, hidden fears, and past wounds that impact your sense of self. Clear out and consolidate your best interests. Once Mars backspins into your eleventh house of friendship circles and social life, it will reveal truths regarding your connections and who you vibe with the most.
Libra (September 22 – October 22)
There will be a slight snag in the next several weeks as Mars retrogrades in your eleventh house of networks, encouraging you to reflect on your social circles or revamp your social media profile. Permit yourself to take the backseat and note how you feel about the groups or information you have been aligning with. Analyze your energy. Mars will then proceed into your tenth house of career and public life, highlighting what you have built in your journey. This retrograde will help you cross-analyze whether you desire to stay in your current position or make your mark.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Over the next several weeks, the Mars retrograde in your tenth house will help you slow down and observe your professional path and public image. The dreams you placed on the back burner will reappear, and you'll face a choice to take it or leave it. Then, the warrior planet backspins into your ninth house of travels and philosophies, granting you the space to understand the big picture and your place in the world. It's time to understand your role and what you truly desire— power up your personal beliefs.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
The Mars retrograde in your ninth house these next several weeks will put your magic to the test as it prompts you to rethink your personal beliefs and long-term vision. It’s a time to reflect on what truly resonates with your values and worldview. Remember that life is a continuous journey filled with valuable lessons. Later, as Mars enters your eighth house of emotional needs and shared resources, it will shake up your views towards comfort and reframe what it means in your intimate relationships.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
The driven planet Mars retrograde in your eighth house of the hidden realms these next few weeks will shed light on your shared resources, intimate connections, and emotional boundaries. It will be a testy time with financial issues or lingering power dynamics. Confront these matters by expressing your concerns with your S.O. or being truthful. Vulnerability and humility will be your best friends during this retrograde. Then Mars retrogrades in the seventh house of commitment and partnerships, shedding light on your genuine connections and approach to negotiation.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
With Mars retrograde in your seventh house of relationships, your connection or progression will slow down and feel like a slow pressure cooker. Avoid signing contracts or agreements and review them later. Reflect on your current one-on-one relationships (personal or professional) and analyze how you navigate conflicts. Mars then reveals your approach to daily routine and wellness as it backspins into your sixth house. It may be challenging to start up new regimens or habits. Streamline what matters to you most to ensure success and a sound mind.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Mars's retrograde in your sixth house will pivot you to reassess your daily routines, health habits, and work-life balance for the next several weeks. Although it isn't a time to make a significant decision in the career realm, it will be a preparatory time to strengthen your resolve by improving your wellbeing rather than just "pushing" through burnout. You may feel scattered as Mars backs up into your fifth house of romance and creativity, inspiring you to pursue various interests (romantically included). Be playful in your approach.With 2025 just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to explore how to power up your year ahead.

When it comes to Thanksgiving, everyone usually knows who's making what. Grandma handles her famous desserts. Your aunt always comes in clutch with the green bean casserole.

With so many new Christmas movies piling up left and right, our watch list is getting longer and longer every year. If you're having decision fatigue, just know: you're not alone! Thankfully, we can use the stars to guide us when we're feeling overwhelmed — even when it comes to what we queue up on our TVs next! So instead of letting your Christmas watch list (that's honestly longer than Santa's naughty and nice list) get you dow, here's which Christmas movie you should put on right now, based on your zodiac sign!
Scroll down to find out which Christmas movie you should watch, based on your zodiac sign!
Twentieth Century Fox | Freevee
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Die Hard
Okay, starting this list off controversially (but strong), Aries you should definitely watch Die Hard. I'm almost positive you've been headstrong enough to tell a friend (or two) that this IS a Christmas movie, actually. And TBH, I think you're right! Although it may be a little intense for the Rudolph-loving, Frosty-watching crowd, you know what it's really all about: Bruce Willis straight up saving Christmas.
EXmas
You can't help that you're charming, Aries. Your fiery personality just sticks, lighting up the room around you — even when that room is full of your ex-boyfriend's family. Oh, and when it comes to a challenge? Yeah, you never turn those down. Throw this on for a good, holiday-filled laugh...and that little bit of heart that you totally love, too.
Twentieth Century Fox | Paramount Pictures
Taurus (April 21 – May 21)
Home Alone
Let's face it: being home alone is honestly your dream come true. You know it, I know it, the stars know it. And while you could probably do without two goons skulking around your place, you always find a way to make your house a home, no matter the situation. If you're already picturing eating pizza in a limo, drinking Coke out of a wine glass...I'm honestly not surprised. Live that luxe life, sweet Taurus.
Last Holiday
Queen Latifah's Last Holiday is quite honestly one of the most Taurus movies of all time, TBH. Georgia Bird does everything she can to curate her life, saving money, staying home, and keeping to herself as much as possible. So when she finds out she's only got a short amount of time to live? She decides it's time to expand beyond the four walls of her home and explore life — and the world — around her. I know you love to curate your life, working hard to make it as comfortable and wonderful as possible at home, but this is a good reminder that there's so much more out there for you, dear Taurus. Chase after it!
Paramount Pictures | Netflix
Gemini (May 22 – June 21)
White Christmas
The duality of Gemini is definitely best summed up with the classic Christmas movie, White Christmas. While I obviously don't subscribe to the belief that you have two personalities, two faces, or any of those other Gemini stereotypes, I do think you have the ability to juggle the many truths that life has to offer. So it makes sense that you could relate to the two couples in this film, working their butts off to save the Vermont inn (I see your work ethic, babe!) and trying to understand their feelings for one another.
Our Little Secret
Remember what I said about duality? Well this plays right into that! When Avery and Logan — former fiancés — show up to Christmas celebrations, they realize they're new significant others are actually siblings...yikes! While they attempt to hide this from the family, obviously hilarity ensues, making them question how they even ended up in this scenario in the first place. While I don't think you want to keep secrets, I do think your ability to hold space for more than one truth could definitely help you out in this scenario — but your true heart would win out in the end, just like this movie!
Universal Pictures
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
The Holiday
You've got a lotta heart, Cancer, and so does this iconic Christmas movie. The hopeless romantic in you would already love the idea of a house swap (how dreamy!) between a big U.S. city and the quaint English countryside — and when you add in the dual romances...this is just too perfect for you! You'll especially resonate with Jack Black and Kate Winslet's characters and all their absolutely adorableness.
How The Grinch Stole Christmas
Empathy is the name of your game, and I just know you'd understand that there's more to the Grinch than meets the eye. While he stomps around, loathing everything, you'd be able to comprehend all that loathing is the need for more loving. So when his heart grows three sizes bigger? Yeah, yours will swell too!
New Line Cinema | Netflix
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Elf
You've got a big personality, and you know it, Leo. You can't help bringing your lively energy to every space you occupy — much like Buddy! Your larger-than-life, excitable — and at times, campy — personality matches the vibe of this movie perfectly. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll consider eating spaghetti and syrup just for the gag. All around, Elf is great watch for you this holiday season!
Falling For Christmas
If you resonated with London Tipton as a little girl, this one's for you. I mean, you exude heiress energy (whether you actually are or not), so you'd definitely understand Sierra Belmont's plight. What's so wrong for wanting the finer things in life?! In all seriousness, while you could definitely relate to her princess behavior (in a much more down-to-earth, likable way of course), I also know you find joy wherever you're at — just like Sierra does after losing her memory. This cheesy watch is definitely a must for you!
Netflix | Columbia Pictures
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Love Hard
You take life pretty seriously, so it's no surprise you would take dating — and finding your 'perfect match' — with the same amount of severity. It's not to say that you don't know how to be fun and frivolous when you want to be, but you just can't help but attempt to approach life's bigger milestones with a gravity that others don't. So, like Natalie, I know you'd be shocked to find out you've been catfished...but still wonder what could be, and if they're really your other half.
Little Women (1994)
Your determination and fervor simply are Jo March, my Virgo darling. Much like our heroine, you see the world as conquerable, taking every challenge you can and totally overcoming any obstacles that dare get in your way. And while this may not exactly be a Christmas movie, I know the March girls' Christmas celebration will totally get you in the spirit!

Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Eloise at Christmastime
You are all pretty and pink and bows and beauty, little Libra. I know you love to make everything look (and feel) perfect around you, so Eloise at Christmastime is the adorable aesthetic watch you could ever want. You get the stunning Plaza Hotel, New York City, and Eloise's eclectic princess behavior. And with Julie Andrews, Gavin Creel, Christine Baranski — what more could you ask for?!
A Charlie Brown Christmas
With aesthetics in mind, nothing is more aesthetic than this Christmas classic. I know you're totally loving the Snoopy renaissance right now, with all its cutesy glory, so A Charlie Brown Christmas is definitely the watch for you. It's a total mood setter, perfect for your next cozy night in, or to have on in the background of your impeccable holiday party I'm sure you're throwing. And that nostalgic, dreamy music? Yeah, this is totally you.Walt Disney Pictures | Netflix
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
The Santa Clause
You've got a rich interior life, dear Scorpio, much like that of Scott Calvin — AKA Santa Claus. You like to keep things close to the chest, so if you ended up accidentally becoming Santa Claus, I just know you'd handle that precious secret like a pro. And though this definitely speaks to your ability to compartmentalize, I don't wanna discredit your soft, sweet core either. The way Scott, his son, and the whole crew find joy in the chaos that became Christmas will definitely warm your very guarded heart.
Holidate
It can be hard to let people in, so when it comes to cuffing season — and the holidays that follow — it tends to be really frustrating for you when you have to dodge all your family's pesky personal questions. So I am suuuuure you'll understand where Sloane and Jackson are coming from when they decide to pretend they're dating one year. Except the thing with committing to the bit? You might get a little swept up in it all. Definitely watch this one for a cheesy Christmas romance — and a Kristin Chenoweth moment!Revolution Studios Distribution Company | New Line Cinema
Sagittarius (November 21 – December 21)
Christmas With The Kranks
My jet-setting Sagittarius, you are incredibly likely to pull a Kranks and 'cancel' Christmas for a nice, tropical vacation — assuming you haven't already! You can't help it, though. You dread monotony, you crave adventure, and you love to be a little (a lot) impulsive. While it may not be wise to totally cancel Christmas on your loved ones this year, why not watch the Kranks attempt it instead?
Four Christmases
I know you don't only travel, Sagittarius, but there's no denying the urge to buy a plane ticket is strong with you. Like Kate and Brad, I could totally see you having to settle for your family's many, many different Christmas celebrations after your travel plans don't pan out. But being home for the holidays doesn't have to be all bad — sometimes you've got to dig deep and understand your roots so you can better soar, sweet Sag. Instead of flying off and away from it all, sit tight and lean into your present surroundings for the greatest gift of all.

Capricorn (December 21 – January 19)
The Muppet Christmas Carol
Here's the thing, if anyone could earnestly perform with a barrage of muppets, never once skimping on the serious nature of their craft á la Michael Caine, it's you Capricorn. Your work ethic is quite literally unmatched, and while that wouldn't make you an IRL Scrooge, it could make you play one like a champ — even with Gonzo going crazy in the corner. Pop this on for a sweet, silly, sentimental Christmas movie!
Happiest Season
When you've got a plan, you're gonna put it in action to the best of your abilities. But when outside factors totally throw off your groove? Well, that's not your favorite thing in the world, Capricorn. Not that you don't know how to pivot when you need to, but some obstacles are tougher to hurdle than others — like when you plan on proposing to your girlfriend...only to find out she hasn't officially come out as queer to her family. Watch Happiest Season to understand how you can set aside your plans to meet your loved ones where they're at, and ultimately find joy somewhere in the middle.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 19)
The Nightmare Before Christmas
You're not like other girls, Aquarius...and that's more than okay! Instead of watching something cute and cozy, opt for the edge of The Nightmare Before Christmas. Sure, it could technically be a Halloween movie, but there's Santa, presents, and a sweet message to take away at the end of the day — and that's more than enough for you!
Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer
If you do wanna opt for a classic, then Rudolph is the way to go. Rudolph is a wave-maker, looking to disrupt the status quo and find a better world for everyone. Instead of being stuck in what makes him different, Rudolph uses his unique gifts to light up the world around him — literally — just like you!

Pisces (February 20 – March 21)
Love, Actually
You're a dreamer, dear Pisces, and this holiday flick will stir up your inner romantic. While each person navigates their own love lives throughout the movie, you'll fantasize about your own — whether you're currently in a relationship, or hoping to be in one. I mean is there a better quote to represent you? "It seems to me that love is everywhere. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around." Sobs.
Polar Express
And speaking of dreaming, I know you were curious about Santa as a little one. You wonder about the world around you, and would totally find yourself in a similar scenario where you're transported on a larger-than-life journey to find the answers about the big man from the North Pole. In the end, was it all a dream, or was it real? Regardless, you know what really matters: that you keep your heart open and just believe.
