- Ashish Mehta

Mars retrograde in Cancer, from December 7, 2024, to January 21, 2025, is set to be a period of reflection and re-evaluation, as Mars, the planet of action and drive, moves backward through the zodiac sign of Cancer, known for its emotional depth and nurturing qualities.

World economy

Mars is typically associated with energy, motivation, and assertiveness. During its retrograde in Cancer, these energies may become more introspective and cautious. This period may encourage countries to reassess their economic strategies, focusing on internal stability over aggressive expansion.

The world economy could see slowed growth as nations become more conservative in their investments and spending. Industries related to home, real estate, and family businesses may experience fluctuations or delays. It might be wise to avoid major financial decisions during this time, opting instead for a strategic planning phase.
