How to Deal with Emotional Restlessness During the Current Mars Transit (June 17 – August 6, 2025)

The current Mars transit, from June 17 to August 6, 2025, is stirring something deep inside many of us.

You may feel more restless, irritable, or emotionally tight than usual, like you have a constant urge to fix something, improve everything, or make yourself “better” in some way.

You’re not alone. This particular energy is real, and intense. But you don’t need to fight it. You just need to understand what it’s trying to awaken in you.

Why This Current Mars Transit Feels So Emotionally Intense?

Right now, Mars, the planet of action and energy is activating the part of us that wants control, order, and clarity.

That can feel like:

  • Irritability or impatience with people who aren’t “doing it right”
  • A deep urge to fix yourself or others — even to the point of burnout
  • A sense of emotional tightness in the chest, stomach, or jaw
  • Trouble relaxing because your mind keeps scanning for flaws
  • Emotional withdrawal when things feel “out of order” inside

Even if everything looks okay on the outside, inside you may feel like something needs to change now.

This is the shadow side of the current Mars transit, when the fire of action turns into anxiety, restlessness, and over-analysis.

The Real Remedy: Not Doing More, But Feeling More Deeply

In moments of emotional overwhelm or irritation during this Mars transit, you don’t need to “fix” your feelings.

You need to feel them, soften into them, and allow them to pass.

Here’s how to do that using two powerful tools:

1. Inner Body Awareness

This means shifting your focus away from your thoughts… and into your body.

Try this now:

  • Close your eyes.
  • Bring your attention to your chest or stomach.
  • Don’t think, just feel. Is there pressure? Tightness? Heat?
  • Just notice it. No fixing. No judging.

When you stay with this gentle awareness, your body begins to soften. Emotions move. Clarity returns.

2. The Soothing Exhale – A Breathwork Practice

Breath is the fastest way to release emotional stress and reconnect with your calm center.

Use this whenever emotions rise:

  • Inhale through your nose for 4 seconds
  • Exhale slowly through your mouth for 8 seconds
  • Repeat for 3–5 minutes
  • Feel your body settle. Feel yourself return.

This breath tells your nervous system:

“I’m safe. I don’t need to fight or fix. I just need to feel.”

This Mars transit is refining you

The current Mars transit is not here to break you. It’s here to help you clean your inner space not with logic, analysis or critical judgements, but with presence.

This transit is not here to drown you into critical thinking or trigger irritability. This time is all about:

  • Let go of perfectionism
  • Tune into your body’s wisdom
  • Use breath as a bridge to clarity
  • Turn emotional fire into healing focus

Last, but not the least

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, hypercritical, or emotionally exhausted lately, know this:

You’re just waking up to what needs conscious attention.

Don’t numb it. Don’t rush it.

Breathe into it. Feel it. Let it teach you.
