The movement of these planets relates more to each individual, as well as current events and everyday life. They are closest to the Earth and Sun, and thus their effect is felt more strongly.

What NOT to do during retrograde

When Mars retrogrades it brings lack of energy and drive. It is not the best time to start anything new, as it would not be blessed with vitality and prosperity. Petty arguments are also likely to arise, so be wary.

Don't start a new job, business, relationship, or anything new and of value to you.
Don't have surgeries, get haircuts, or perform any procedures related to utilizing sharp objects.
Don't start a lawsuit, divorce or a conflict.
Don't argue, fight, or start a war in every meaning of the word.
Don't buy sharp objects, hardware tools or other mechanical things.

IMPORTANT: If you absolutely must do any of the above, just be extra careful and know things may not see the light of day. However, it might be one of those moments, where such failed initiatives are needed for you to see your path forward.

What to DO during retrograde

During retrograde periods it is best to slow down and look inwards. Reassess your goals and desires before you take further action. It may be necessary to adjust your expectations and calmly work through any frustrations that get in the way of what you want to accomplish.

Try to postpone any new initiatives.
Try to calm your emotions and put down any arguments as early as you spot them. There will be better times to have such arguments at a later time.
It is a good time to take a step back and at least temporarily give in, instead of trying to helplessly push forward whatever is on your mind.
You may want to focus on meditation, calm and emotional balance. If you haven't practiced such initiatives before, don't start them during Mars retrograde as they would probably not stick.
