Mars is going to turn retrograde soon, and appears to move backward starting in Leo on December 6th, and then in Cancer starting on January 6th, until February 23rd 2025. Mars retrograde can bring up aggression, irritation, and major frustration, and we need to channel this wisely to avoid blowups. This retrograde is particularly challenging at the start since Mercury is also retrograde November 25th - December 15th, so they overlap December 6th - 15th. We have to be smart!
