Episode 33: Mars Rx in Aries – What to do and not do in your business

Mars Retrograde is coming, we get this cycle for about 10 weeks every 2 years or so. And it’s 2020 so of course, we’re having it this year from September 9 – November 13!

Mars Retrograde is the time to reaffirm what energizes and motivates YOU in your business and brand.

Where it falls in our chart magnifies where we need to save energy, heal stress/frustration and optimize our energy better.

We get to Stop to see what motivates us.

Similar to when Mercury and Venus go retrograde, the energy asks us to reevaluate, reflect and redirect and because it’s Mars we are highlighting our energy, activation and power.
