During this time you would of experienced a review and a slowing down in this area of your life. Forward momentum may not of seemed possible but a time or review, renewal or reconnection would definitely have been supported. If you felt frustrated at times it could of been because you weren't trusting the flow of life and pushing to 'make things happen' before it's time.

I found the Mars Retrograde to be a wonderful experience. It took place in my 11th house of Relationships with friends and Groups and Hopes and Dreams. A lot was revealed to me in the friendship area with old friends popping up out of nowhere and I also got closure on past misunderstandings on several occasions re friends. It was a time of understanding and closure on the past. 

 

It also gave me the time to review my hopes and dreams for the future and the Retrograde carved out the space to allow me to do this. I wasn't much up for going out and about networking or making new friends which made total since for me as with Mars Retrograde, and being my co ruler, my energy was pulled inwards during this time. 

 

I look forward now to the next phase where I can take all I have learned and move forward again in this area of my life, more stronger and renewed and a little more peaceful and wiser.
