About Mars

Mars is your drive: how you go after things, how you get angry and how you get moving on a Monday. It's courage, sex drive and the urge to win, all in one slightly sweaty package. Mars brings heat to the house it passes through: more energy, more urgency and occasionally more friction. A good time to start things there, as long as you don't start rows.

About Taurus

Taurus is slow, solid and deeply into comfort: good food, soft fabrics, a bank balance that doesn't make you wince. It builds things to last and isn't moving until it's ready. At its best, Taurus is the calm, reliable person who makes any room feel like a nice place to stay. Watch for stubbornness dressed up as being sensible.

How long it lasts

Around six to seven weeks in each sign, sometimes months when it turns retrograde.

Mars in Taurus, house by house

Find which of your houses Taurus is in, then read that one. If Taurus spans two of your houses, read both.

  1. If Taurus is in your 1st house · SelfIdentity, body, how you come acrossTaurus slows the sprint to a deliberate stride. You're strong, unhurried and hard to budge, which is lovely until someone asks you to hurry up and you simply don't.
  2. If Taurus is in your 2nd house · WorthMoney, values, securityTaurus makes you protective of every pound and wonderfully patient about building more. You'll hold out for the good version of the thing rather than grab the cheap one now.
  3. If Taurus is in your 3rd house · VoiceCommunication, siblings, learning, neighbourhoodTaurus slows your speech so each word lands. You take your time replying, and a neighbour or sibling who pushes for an instant answer meets a very polite brick wall.
  4. If Taurus is in your 4th house · RootsHome, family, private lifeTaurus turns home into a project of comfort: the proper mattress, the good lamp, the slow Sunday roast. Family disagreements dig in rather than explode, so pick your hill gently.
  5. If Taurus is in your 5th house · DesireRomance, creativity, pleasure, childrenTaurus makes desire slow and sensual: a long dinner rather than a quick drink. Creative work grows steadily, and you'd rather savour one good thing than chase three.
  6. If Taurus is in your 6th house · RitualWork, routines, health, habitsTaurus builds routines that actually stick, one dependable habit at a time. Work is steady rather than frantic, though changing a process you like takes serious persuading.
  7. If Taurus is in your 7th house · BondsRelationships, partners, marriageTaurus is loyal and obstinate in equal measure with a partner. You'll turn up with food and a warm hand, then refuse to move on the dishwasher layout. Negotiate something.
  8. If Taurus is in your 8th house · ShadowIntimacy, transformation, shared moneyTaurus approaches shared money and closeness cautiously, then holds tight. Trust builds slowly here, so don't mistake your own stillness for being stuck, or your caution for coldness.
  9. If Taurus is in your 9th house · DistanceTravel, beliefs, higher learningTaurus likes its adventures comfortable: the good hotel, the long lunch, the beliefs you've tested and kept. You learn thoroughly if not quickly, and resist being rushed to a conclusion.
  10. If Taurus is in your 10th house · CallingCareer, public image, ambitionTaurus gives ambition a long fuse. You climb steadily, ignore office theatrics and quietly outlast the people who sprinted, though a stubborn no to feedback may cost you.
  11. If Taurus is in your 11th house · CircleFriends, community, future goalsTaurus makes you the dependable friend who brings snacks and stays till the end. You back causes with patient effort, and a group that wants constant change will test you.
  12. If Taurus is in your 12th house · DepthDreams, hidden patterns, solitudeTaurus points your private energy at simple comforts: a long bath, a walk, doing nothing on purpose. Old frustration eases when your body is fed, warm and left alone.
