YOUR Mars in Taurus Horoscope

How this planetary transit impacts YOUR life

What: Mars in Taurus

When: June 9 - July 20, 2024

Who’s Impacted: EVERYONE, but especially earth and fixed signs.

Takeaway: An energetic shift that helps you slow your roll and build on ONE thing.

     Tired of zooming through your goals and chasing down everything? Well, on June 8/9, Mars leaves its fiery home sign of Aries and enters steady and placid earth sign Taurus, stabilizing and slowing down your energy levels, assertion, and determination. 

     If you’re unfamiliar, Mars is the planet of action and energy, as well as heat, self-assertion, goal-getting, conflict, and courage. Taurus is a fixed earth sign ruled by Mars’ “opposing” planet, Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and pleasure. Thanks to Venus’ influence, earthy Taurus prefers the finer, beautiful, and feel-good things of life and has a particular penchant for what is pleasing to the senses—and the bank account. Which is why low-risk, high-yield pursuits are often what fuel our fire with Mars in Taurus. So too are goals related to pleasure, art, creature comforts, money, and material assets. During this transit you’re more concerned with building your bank and achieving long-term success, than you are racing ahead towards an exciting unknown (at least until July 20). 

     During Mars in Aries, it was natural to want to pursue a bunch of different goals, take on more projects (than you can handle) at work, fight, race to the finish line, and try to conquer…well, anything. But Mars in Taurus is cautious, methodical. This transit doesn’t encourage action without plans. It urges you to measure the risks and ensure the ROI is hefty enough to justify your efforts. Then, Mars in Taurus wants you to take your time and do things right. 

     So, you want to try and be really choosy about what you pursue, who you butt heads with, and limit the scope of your goals (esp. on June 11 & July 15). Delegate. Build. Simplify your projects. Focus on ONE thing at a time, and don’t pressure yourself to conquer it all. Concentrate on efforts, goals, and pursuits that are of value to you. This could translate into literal fiscal pursuits, or into more creative, artistically-and-sensory satisfying pursuits like patiently baking your first batch of bon-bons like a contestant on the The Great British Bake-Off. Your choice!

     Of course, that is just the general overview of Mars in Taurus—how the transit plays out overall. To really know what Mars in Taurus is doing for your life, you need to know what it’s doing in your chart. So, without further ado:
