Transiting Mars in Taurus

 

While Mars was in Aries, he blazed new paths, conquered new territory, planted his flag and staked his claim.

And now that he’s in Taurus, he’s going to build an empire on it.

But how can that be? After all, when macho Mars is in sensual Taurus, he’s in his detriment. He’s not as forceful, he can be self-indulgent. He’s soft.

Fair enough. But while it’s true that Mars does lose some of his drive in this placid sign, he’s not completely devoid of motivation.

And while he’s in Taurus, he’s motivated to create wealth.

True, his energy does come down a few notches, but his productivity soars because the fixed nature of the sign gives him the patience, endurance and determination to see things through to the very end.

Also, let’s not forget that the Bull has a natural affinity with money, and when you spike it with even a touch of Mars ambition, the sky is the limit.

That’s why those who are born with this natal placement often achieve significant success in the material world. Michael Jackson, Michael Bloomberg, Madonna, Kanye West, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Lucille Ball, Andy Warhol, Liberace and Mick Jagger are just a few Mars in Taurus individuals who created financial empires.

Of course, there’s more to Taurus than just money and possessions. It’s no secret that the Bull is a fan of hedonistic delights, and while Mars is here, he’s neither oblivious nor immune to them.

Instead, he enjoys them openly, fully and without feeling the least bit guilty.

And that’s how it should be. Because while Mars is in Taurus he works hard.

And that earns him the right to play hard.
