 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s an impasse<\/em>. Mars\u2014with its action-packed energy\u2014is retrograding until the end of June and slowing down in your consciousness.<\/p>\n

Your life events, too, will seem stalled as this fiery planet turns around. Meanwhile, Jupiter and Saturn are also retracing their paths backward in Leo and Scorpio, respectively.<\/p>\n

Although life won\u2019t come to a sudden halt due to the transits of these celestial bodies, you\u2019ll soon need more reflection and caution before taking any kind of action.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll then be positioned to watch world events on a magnified, imaginary screen, courtesy of Rahu, the planet of high technology and illusion<\/em><\/strong>. This is a strongly unconventional energy that will flow from Leo, the sign ruling cinematography and spectacularly special effects.<\/p>\n

Much of what we took for granted in the past is no longer true when planets are in retrograde motion. Keeping calm as you tend to your daily tasks and selecting new strategies for success can still make you a winner.<\/p>\n

So to avoid succumbing to endless fear scenarios\u2014a strong possibility when we leave our emotions unguarded at this time\u2014here for you: five easy steps to exuding calm while tapping into the field of infinite possibilities<\/em>.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This will help you achieve all your goals and overcome your anxieties.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. D\u00e9j\u00e0 vu leads you to self-confidence <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Retrograde planets take you back in time. Of course, these celestial bodies don\u2019t actually move backwards and do so only in relation to the Earth\u2019s rotation. Within these cycles, our impressions evoke certain states of mind and energy.<\/p>\n

Imagine sitting in a car\u2014the easiest example for this process\u2014and speeding ahead of other vehicles while watching them disappear behind you. Depending on your inner state, you could feel elated, indifferent or disoriented<\/strong>. The same happens with retrograde planets.<\/p>\n

We live in an ocean of energy. This fluid field coming from the planets and the cosmos influences our emotions, decisions, well-being and how we relate to our world.<\/p>\n

If you are now entertaining a disquieting feeling that you\u2019ve already experienced a current situation, don\u2019t dismiss it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Insights in the way you solved this problem before are now invaluable.<\/p>\n

If possible, try to recreate in your mind the past and give it a new more positive outcome based on your wiser and more informed decisions.<\/p>\n

For example, if in the past you hastily reacted to a person or a sudden difficulty, you\u2019re now given an opportunity to redo this action and take more careful steps.<\/p>\n

While I\u2019m a big fan of living in the moment and doing everything anew, wisdom and experience can now save the day.<\/p>\n

2. Your peace of mind is as valuable as gold<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Our modern world employs competition as a primary source of motivation\u2014despite clear indications of its possible toxicity on the human mind.<\/p>\n

Can you tap into your highest creativity while ogling your neighbors or coworkers? Usually the answer is no<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Gold winning Olympic athletes have often attributed their victories to an elated, calm feeling that came over them from trusting themselves and the process itself. As they courageously stayed the course, they never turned around to look at their competition.<\/p>\n

Comparing yourself with others reduces your creativity and may even stop it altogether.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Needless to say, you can perform at your best in all your activities through:\"Middle-Mars-Retrograde\"<\/a><\/p>\n
