Mars Enters Taurus

Mars saunters into Taurus, where we shift from rapid movement into steadfast, slow pacing. Mars finds some discomfort in the Fixed Earth temple of Taurus as it wants to run, race, fly, and Taurus pulls back, only striking when the time is right. This transit is about patient building for something in the long term. We replace impulse with pause.

This isn't to say that we are at a standstill, though. Not even close! Taurus is all about sustainability. We find what works or makes sense and then carry it through. With stubborn tenacity and incredible continuity, there is no stopping the bull once it gets going. Mars in Taurus will help us find the willpower to bring whatever we have in our hearts, minds, and spirits to completion. There will be no easing up until it is done.

We have to be careful of inflexibility at this time. Mars in Taurus may dig its heels into the ground if it feels there is a resistance to its plans or momentum. Almost stopping something in its tracks if it notices a change without prior consultation. This will leave us without agility or the ability to navigate tough situations with ease. Taurus is all about the "wait and see", and Mars wants to get up and go. Discovering a balance between the two will help. Concoct a plan but don't feel that you need to be rigid with it. Allow room for growth.

The advice for Mars in Taurus is around manifestation, patience, and allowing more ease into your life. We can work hard and get carried away in the process, but we also need to stop and smell the roses from time to time. Find ways to rest between moves. Get yourself into a place of feeling comfortable without being too strict or immobile.
