Quiet Groundwork Pays Off By Midsummer
Vitality starts strong, with Mars sitting right in your sign in January, but its retrograde turn on the 11th is a cue to pace yourself rather than mistake early enthusiasm for sustainable energy. Once Mars drifts into Leo and your twelfth house of rest by February 21, the body all but asks for a slower stretch — lean into it with better sleep instead of fighting the dip. Mars turns direct on April 1, and real physical momentum comes back once it returns to Virgo on May 14, making mid-spring the best window to restart any fitness routine you'd shelved. Jupiter's arrival in Virgo on July 26 brings a burst of appetite for life in general, which is worth enjoying without letting every day turn into an exception to your usual habits. Saturn's retrograde in Aries from August 9 through December 25, in your eighth house tied to stress and deep recovery, can make rest feel harder to protect when other commitments pile up — schedule downtime the same way you'd schedule anything else non-negotiable. Overall, treat February and March as a recovery season and mid-May onward as the stretch to actually build back momentum.
