☿ Mercury Retrograde
When Mercury retrogrades, Fire signs may feel their usual decisiveness clouded. Quick decisions might backfire. Use this time to revisit old plans rather than launching new ones.
♀ Venus Retrograde
Venus retrograde asks Fire signs to slow down in love. Past relationships or old flames may resurface. It's a time for reflection, not pursuit.
♂ Mars Retrograde
Mars retrograde hits Fire signs hardest since Mars rules Aries. Energy levels drop, frustration rises. Channel the slowdown into strategy instead of action.
