Rare Celestial Phenomena: How to Experience Them Safely
In March, we experienced significant solar and lunar eclipses, resulting in changes in many people's relationships with family, friends, partners, and colleagues. Eclipses test the trust and fidelity within these relationships, leading to possible separations or breakdowns, while some steadfast relationships may endure, receive commitments, or even culminate in marriage. The effects of the eclipses will impact our lives over the next three to six months. During this "some are happy, some are worried" March, have you been trying hard to mend things because of many unfortunate events? Don't worry; in April, there is still room for negotiation on certain matters, giving you the chance to repair and make new decisions.
Mars Retrograde Can Lead to Critical Conflicts
April marks a period when many planets go retrograde, and the retrograde of celestial bodies often signifies a "revisiting of past events," such as the ongoing Mars retrograde. Mars goes retrograde every two years, with each period lasting about two months. In astrology, Mars represents action, so many may suddenly feel that their overall pace of life has slowed, lacking motivation, with unexpected delays. However, delays can provide more time for reflection, helping you to settle down and reassess the past to make better decisions. Mars retrograde can also bring feelings of frustration, oppression, and anxiety, or lead to conflicts and anger in communication. When interacting with partners or family, avoid stubbornness and heated arguments, as they are not effective ways to resolve issues. Some may face exclusion or become entangled in complex relationships in their careers; nevertheless, the universe often compensates when it takes something from you. So, take a moment to calm yourself and consider your next steps.
Mercury Retrograde Will Usher in a Wave of "Relationship Reunions"
Mercury retrograde begins on April 29, but it enters its shadow phase at the beginning of the month, with effects gradually becoming apparent. Many are familiar with Mercury retrograde; it’s linked to communication issues, malfunctioning electronic devices, flight delays, and problems with legal documents and contracts. It's also known for creating nostalgia for old relationships or encounters with exes who suddenly reach out. Expect potential reunions or sudden longings for past romances. Breakups and misunderstandings from March might be mended during this time, suggesting that after the breakup wave in March, we could soon welcome a wave of reunions.
Collective Retrogrades Represent Life's Challenges and Growth
The month of collective retrogrades is a time for many to revisit the past, let go, or regain. Whether you’re experiencing a lack of motivation, feeling uninspired, dealing with old flames returning, or other matters, even things that appear less than favorable on the surface can ultimately be beneficial. During this time, take the opportunity to reflect carefully on your past experiences and how you handle matters. Remember that even if you have faced setbacks, it is a form of achievement and growth.
Conclusion:
Whether you're dealing with relationship reunions or experiencing inner turmoil during the collective retrogrades, some may feel confused and helpless. In this retrograde April, what you need most is to firmly believe in yourself with an "I can" attitude and find the strength to keep moving forward. Use this retrograde April to draw out your inner "self," slow down, and take time to reflect. Then, with clarity, continue to move forward.
