Mars enters Taurus

Mars moves into Taurus today, shifting from its comfy home sign to a place where it’s supposedly weaker.
Mars in Taurus is stubborn and strong, like the classic ‘strong and silent type.’ It’s powerful, but in a quiet, confident way. You can feel the presence of someone with Mars in Taurus, just like you can sense an animal nearby, making you cautious without even seeing it move.

For the next six weeks, we can harness this intense energy. If you’ve felt scattered with all the planets hanging out in Gemini, especially if you’re struggling with Jupiter in Gemini’s new vibes, Mars in Taurus will bring some much-needed stability. It’s a great time to set long-term goals. Even if your focus is all over the place, you’ll be too stubborn to give up once you’ve picked a direction. You might even surprise yourself with how much you achieve before Mars leaves Taurus on 20/21 July.

But watch out for a couple of tricky dates: the Mars-Pluto square on 11/12 June and the Mars-Uranus conjunction on 15/16 July. These dates are all about keeping your cool and pursuing your goals with intention. Reckless behaviour can spike anxiety and cause conflict, so stay calm and avoid unnecessary competitions.

In addition, Mars in Taurus brings a focus on the physical and sensual. This is the time to indulge in activities that engage your senses, like cooking, gardening, or hands-on creative projects. Your body and mind will crave the tactile and tangible. Financial matters will also come into sharp focus. It’s a perfect period for reviewing your finances, planning investments, and working towards financial stability.

Patience and persistence are your allies now. Mars in Taurus doesn’t rush; it commits and follows through. You’ll find it easier to tackle long-term projects that require steady effort. However, be mindful of resistance to change. While stability is beneficial, being too stubborn can be a hindrance. Balance steadiness with flexibility.

Comfort and security become top priorities. You might feel a stronger urge to improve your home, invest in quality items that enhance your lifestyle, or establish self-care routines that ground you. This transit is all about creating a comfortable, secure environment that supports your well-being.

Mars in Taurus also encourages a practical approach to problem-solving. You’ll favour realistic, tangible solutions over abstract ones. This period supports pragmatic decision-making and actions that are grounded in reality.

Overall, Mars in Taurus during this transit invites us to ground ourselves, focus on tangible goals, and approach life with a steady, patient attitude. It’s a time to build, create, and strengthen the foundations of our lives.
