Mars in Taurus

 
With Mars now in Taurus we are determined, stubborn, and resolute. Mars in Taurus can be passive, and is at its strongest when resisting or defending something! In stark contrast to the impulsive Mars in Aries cycle, we tend to pursue our goals by plodding along patiently. Our goal is longevity and long-term satisfaction.

Mars in Taurus strengthens the practical side of your nature. You assert yourself in a more persistent, determined and hard-working manner. Energy is channeled into worthwhile tasks that will produce practical and useful results. Be careful of being inflexible, stubborn and single-minded. The sex drive is strong and healthy, but it can turn jealous and possessive. In traditional astrology, Mars is considered in its detriment here. That shows up in the passive stance that Mars in Taurus takes toward life, so try to be active and open minded to avoid stagnation.
