Any special insight on Mars in Taurus?

What are the positives and negatives of this placement?

[Nexus7]

That is my Mars placement, the handle of a bucket in the 6th House, aspecting both luminaries and opposing chart ruler.

Once it warms up, it is like an express train, from the point of view of getting involved in something. In areas to do with relationships, maybe because it is disposed by a Venus which is square Neptune, I often feel that there can be difficulties in judging when to be assertive, when to be diplomatic and I often feel that either I have been way too forceful and aggressive, or a total pushover, in things, for example, like negotiating. I consider it a big weakness of mine that the desire to be liked can sometimes mean that I am not as assertive with some people as I should be and at school especially, that was a big problem. But someone still once said to me at a fair once 'to watch that Mars of mine, probalby underestimating how it can come across.'

Being in the 6th, I did feel in the end that it might be better to work for myself rather than for others too.

Well, with all my Aries planets and Mars in Taurus, I am not the typical Mars in Taurus kind of person I guess; I am not "slow to anger/temper", I am rather quick at it. My Mars is in the 9th and I think it definitely... it doesn't make me want to rush and travel, that's for sure but it can make me the type to eventually anger over intellectual debates easily.

Ah, let's see I have Mars opposition Pluto, Mars trine Ascendant and Mars trine Jupiter.

Isabel Hickey says of Mars in Taurus, "Money and Sex are important". :56:Whatever you have in Scorpio will give valuable clues to how you are likely to handle this energy. With Venus in Scorpio, be assured that relationships are going to be "push - pull" and jealousy and possessiveness will be often recurring themes. Neptune in Scorpio could mean addiction problems and your partner / spouse could be a probable source of this problem.

I've seen Mars in Taurus folks cheat to win; they are often too tenacious to admit defeat in most anything. But that can also translate into great stamina and persistence when the going gets tough! :cool:

I have North Node in Scorpio, no other planets. What clues would NN give?

Mars in Taurus is conjunct South Node.

What does Miss Hickey have to say about Pluto in Scorpio?

[LionKing]

I have Mars in Taurus but it is in the 10H. I'd say 'military' seems to be an outstanding occurance in my life. That and I'm a pretty good keriokie singer... ha!:D Cheat?!! I don't think so. Never cheated on either ex-wife and I don't cheat people in anything. I guess that is the "Leo" in me. I always allow my opponent to pick himself off the ground before I kick him again... ha! Naa! All kidding aside... I'm not like that anymore. Besides... just turning 50.. I'm too old... ha!

Posh,

North Node in Scorpio opposing Mars in Taurus is something like "Jaws"! Relentlessly scout your prey, but as soon as the harpoon boats show up you dive deep into the sea with a whale of a splash to disappear from view!

South Node Conjunct Mars suggests you once considered yourself too evasive, fickle and lacking in commitment. By aligning South Node with Mars in Taurus you now have greater fortitude, stamina and "backbone" to take on lots of things that once scared you away. Heaven help the harpoon crew now! CHOMP! :eek:

Neji,

You need to read the whole section on Pluto in Scorpio and so does your entire Generation. Get a copy of "Astrology, A Cosmic Science" by Isabel Hickey.

Lion,

Maybe these days you're long in the tooth, but I bet you were nothing to fool with when you were age 25. Am I right or am I right?

I don't know. Not much to go on. What house is Taurus and which houses are Scorpio and Aries?

Does Mars make any aspects to Venus, or is Venus in Scorpio or Aries?

[LionKing]

Derestanne... yea... I'm 6'1" and 200 pounds. Just retired from the navy but I still stay in great shape. I jog nearly every day. I watch what I eat and yea... a long time ago I use to be a bouncer... I can see a little age in my face but for just turning 50 and never smoked in my life... yea... I've done well physically. I'd like to stay this way when I'm 120 years... ha!

Mars doesn't aspect Venus, Venus is in Virgo in the 9th.

Heh, I guess you aren't going to write a couple sentences for it- nah, it's cool, I can't really afford much of anything right now- but I'll get it sometime possibly.

Well you see, I do know that my entire generation has that, but my entire generation does not have Mars opposing Pluto, so that's what I meant.

Nejispirit,

I have the same book. The Pluto in Scorpio section is pretty long and hard to summarize in a couple of sentences.

Maybe one day you can go to the bookstore and just read it there...you don't have to buy the book. It's worth a read.

Hmm, I dunno- not really interested in reading up on a generational thing that far, maybe a few sentences in a bookstore- but not the whole thing :D

I suppose generational things are interesting but... not very specific, you know?

[BobZemco]

I have Taurus on the 5th, Scorpio on the 11th, Aries on the 4th.

Mars doesn't aspect Venus, Venus is in Virgo in the 9th.

I have a Mars/Moon/South Node conjunction in Taurus in the 5th.

The South Node is where you'll run for security. The problem here is the Moon/Mars conjucntion that might make you inclined to take some unnecessary risks, and that's more so with the 5th House ruling gambling/speculation. You need to be cognizant of that. It could be worse. You could have Mars conjunct Uranus or Neptune conjunct the South Node in the 5th. Your progressed Mars is never going to move to square your natal North/South Node, but your transiting Mars will, and when it moves into your 2nd House you need to direct your attention and energy toward the North Node in the 11th and resist the emotional temptation to run toward 5th House matters (especially if they involve gambling/speculation).

A lot of your energy will be directed to 4th and 11th House matters, which is nice. Your chart seems to indicate an affinity to children, and I don't think Taurus is a barren sign, so the other South Node issue is a tendency to bury/hide yourself with your home and children and use it as a safety net. Project yourself out into your friends and groups.

With Venus in the 9th, you might consider teaching as a career, especially with Mars/Moon in the 5th (where the Moon is exalted).

Other than that, I don't see any problems with Mars in Taurus in the 5th.

[jamiescott]

BobZemco, you say The South Node is where you'll run for security.

Thanks, I haven't heard it put that way. I find the opposite happens to me (my chart is in my public profile). I run home for safety. I want to live more in my 10th house. Do you think that the nodes can reverse? What do you think is happening here? I don't want to sidetrack this thread so if you have any imput : jamiesecott (http://www.astrologyweekly.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11836)

[doublecrossed fish]

My Mars is in Taurus in the 12th and I have Taurus rising. I've experienced this like a train. Hard to get going and just as hard to stop once it is going. Also, the idea of tracks is quite appropriate to Mars in Taurus, movement along a narrow pathway with no quick and easy turns. I would add inertia to Mars in Taurus.

Then there is the issue of aggression. Mars in Taurus can be paralyzingly easy going...until there is a disruption to the harmony. Then, the rage comes! After all, Mars is about survival. It rules the root chakra and the time of infancy when our predominant energy is red and we're single-mindedly, actually INSTINCTIVELY, focusing on growth and sheer survival. And, Taurus is the energy of the next phase. After the infant realizes that he will survive, he's ready to move from DOING, from Aries, to BEING, to Taurus. So, Mars in Taurus is a combination of the first two experiences we all have, the most basic doing and the most basic being energy in its most primal physical state.

[doublecrossed fish]

Interesting point. I don't have personal experience with Mars in Libra, but it makes sense to me that it would have some similarity with Mars in Taurus. Both signs are ruled by Venus, so it's more than a bit sexual having Mars in either sign. Also, Mars is in the opposite sign when in Libra, self and other. So there's that tension that can build. I would think that since Mars is involved in both cases that the anger can be physical in each case, yet the difference might lie in the WAY the anger is expressed. Taurus adds to the physicality while Libra's air would fuel the anger, the Mars fire, but would more quickly "burn-out".

That's all speculation. I wonder if anyone out there has any personal stories.

[Nexus7]

'My Mars/Taurus neighbour/friend (since 1978) lost his temper at me last night because I suggested we might watch the DVD at my flat instead of at his, as apparently I was trying to upstage him. He did then explain that he'd spent some time setting up a projector, but he only had to say that calmly.
In the past I used to take a cup of tea with me ready made when I went next door to see him, until he got annoyed by that saying I was rejecting his hospitality and that his tea was not good enough for me.'

That is never just Mars in Taurus!!

Sorry, but that sounds symptomatic of a much deeper problem with his ego for this rage to keep on erupting. I don't know what aspects he has to his Mars, the state of his Sun, Moon, Saturn...but there is a whole lot more to it than that, his Mars position alone, I would opine.

I would have to say 'guilty as charged' for a certain amount of raging, too.
I see it in part as 'hurry sickness,' trying to do too much in too little time - for a Taurus Mars, I don't know where the urge to do everything at breakneck speed comes from, but I know it is not the healthiest way to be, at all times. I also find that red-rag feeling emerging whenever I feel that a student has maybe not recognised that my time might be as important as me as his or hers is to her. One 'forgot' to tell me she was at a meeting more than once and this time I definitely got the sense that here was a touch of passive/aggressive over and above the genuine 'something came up: well, then, afterwards, fantasies of impaling and roasting such individuals live over a spit do tend to appeal....

[Nexus7]

I don't mean that this person must be a an obvious and blatant prima donna, though on first reading this did smack of the kind of sensitivity of someone who feels easily overlooked on first occasion. I have had people get very angry with me for what sounds on the face of it to be very similar reasons to the seemingly trivial ones you mentioned. In the case of one such person who got very angry and critical with me more than once for various perceived oversights (and his Mars was in Cancer in this case, Venus in Virgo), an old friend really gave the the gypsy warning about getting too heavily involved with him.

'His mother spoilt him,' she told me. 'Such men are very sensitive.'

Maybe, in any case, there was a more obviously simple and Taurean cause for the rage: there were some carefully-laid plans that were upset.

[BobZemco]

That is never just Mars in Taurus!!

Correct. I might be willing to accept that if the situtation was Mars in Taurus in the 1st/7th Houses (Hello? Houses anyone?) but even so I would expect to find an aspect to Uranus or Pluto that debilitates Mars.

[doublecrossed fish]

Or something else in Cancer or the fourth house. I have Moon in the same degree as Uranus in Cancer with Jupiter three degrees ahead, plus south node in Cancer. The Moon/Uranus is binovile the Mars and the node is sextile it. So, they aren't really "afflicted". But the Mars is in my 12th and it seems that the Cancer hypersensitivity exacerbated by Uranus and exaggerated by Jupiter can make me suddenly (Uranus) very insecure. At that point I react chaotically with the Mars in Taurus, immediately tuning in to the darkest aspects of any provocation. The darkness is not fabricated, I'm just very sensitive to it and try to impulsively deal with it by going into rage. Cancer and Taurus aren't considered in conflict, but under these particular circumstances, they can be. Context means so much in astrology.

[bigsky3]

I have mars in taurus in the first house with an aries rising. For me, it adds some weight and focus into a very airy chart. I enjoy working with my hands and taking the time for meticuluos work when I am inspired. I am generally a very easy going person and don't get mad at the small stuff. In an argument, I am very thorough and determined to win. My mars squares 4 planets in aquarius so it probalby gives me some trouble. I'm still learning my chart. As far as the rage thing, I am not a violent person, more like the opposite, but there has been some aggression towards me. The taurus vibe is different from the rest of my chart and I like that it's out there in the first house. It's 'slow to action' asks me to examine my choices and tame the impulsive nature of airies.

[hodad]

I have Mars in the early degrees of Taurus in the 8th house.I would have had Mars at 29 Aries if born just a few days earlier,wow that would have put a whole different spin on things.I'm sure I would have liked to have had the fire of Mars in Aries I'm envious of those that do that placement with its warrior spirit.But I do not!
There's something I like about the solid,earthiness of Taurus and also it's sensual nature,the physicality of it--how sights and sounds really hit me.It really heightens all of the senses.Like when you smell a lilac,you really smell it--I enjoy things like ceramics,working with my hands.I have done some photography,and always enjoy the colors and tones.
Taurus is fixed,stubborn,sometimes immovable.There's something real about this I enjoy.It is very practical,it likes results.It gives a grounding effect.It makes you want to go out and plant something in the ground.
I saw this post somewhere on an astrology site it expresses the Taurus effect quite nicely---
The Stay-in-One-Place Taurus Mars


(http://astrologyexpressed.wordpress.com/author/nray/)

My Mars may have progressed into Gemini, but I was born with it in Taurus and this poem has always spoken to me of my very earthy Mars in a fixed sign:
Autumn Evening by Frances Cornford
The shadows flickering, the daylight dying,
And I upon the old red sofa lying,
The great brown shadows leaping up the wall,
The sparrows twittering; and that is all.
I thought to send my soul to far-off lands,
Where fairies scamper on the windy sands,
Or where the autumn rain comes drumming down
On huddled roofs in an enchanted town.
But O my sleepy soul, it will not roam.
It is too happy and too warm at home:
With just the shadows leaping up the wall.
The sparrows twittering; and that is all.

[Miss Saturn]

My partner has this placement, and for the first couple of years I never noticed it. Now, I really have to push him to move and get going. I literally drag him off his chair to get motivated to do jobs around the house. He doesn't get started till late and I am assuming this is due to Mars in Taurus.

[AriesJupiter]

I knew a girl with Mars in Taurus (or actually, I've known a few) but she was very relentless in her drive or anger. Maybe this is due to her Pluto in Scorpio, but my feeling of the Mars in Taurus (and I'm ASC Taurus) is that they are very steady, determined, & don't give up! They just keep going... she seemed to have so much energy, or strength, when it came to "pushing through"... she always got what she wanted, because she was determined. If she didn't get what she wanted, she freaked out! She was primarily a water person (but with Venus in Aquarius). But, I'd say Mars Taurus is slow, steady, determined, prodding, effective, substantial, money/results/material oriented.
For a woman, they want a "meat & potatoes" type man. For a man, they ARE a "meat & potatoes" man... no "foo-foo" business. No "wasting" their energy...
I would think they don't want to "expel" their energy on anything that's not "worth it" to them... Taurus is all about practicality & substance...
They use their energy (Mars) wisely, solidly, perseveringly...

[Fragoso]

Hello

My idea of taurs mars is that they can be very slow to anger but once they reach the ebulition point... RUN AWAY. lol

That's not a good position for mars.

Frag

[selfless]

it depends on which house it is posited from the Ascendant in the
anti-clockwise direction..but as a whole(general) it perhaps gives the following result:-----
MARS in TAURUS:-----It correlates to a deeply internalized focus that generates a defiant
stance of separateness and independence from the overall circumstantial conditions
of society. Remaining instinctively separate from those conditions allows the Mars in
Taurus person to become aware of the types of desires they need to act upon that
will allow for an actualization of the values that most perfectly reflect the meaning of
the current life.
Mars in Taurus reflects a desire nature that seeks to use sexual energy as
a vehicle for the metamorphisis of emotional and psychological limitations. In order to
accomplish this, the Soul will create sexually confrontational situations in which the
emotional and psychological reality, and the needs that reflect this reality, surface into
awareness.
Moreover,
Mars in the fixed sign of Taurus lends stability and patience. You outlast others, as you persist until you get what you want. You're careful about what you commit to, because you stick with a plan until it's completed. You are sometimes slow-moving, but more thorough in whatever you do. You can be inflexible and stubborn to change, even when it's clearly needed. It's maddening to you to take action, with no visible results. But you are disciplined over the long haul, and can achieve mastery in your chosen field.
Mars in Taurus gives you a passion for sturdy, lovely things. You might be into collecting antiques, restoring homes, or have a knack for playing the market. Your eye for beauty and discipline gives you natural ability to succeed as a working artist. You may enjoy being outdoors, working with animals or gardening. You work hard, but also take play seriously, making time to relax. You feel wealthy when you're enjoying the fruits of your labors.
You are naturally seductive, as a creature of pleasure who is at home in the body. You enjoy extended intimate foreplay, with senses heightened to touch, smell, taste and sound. You can be languid and lazy, or go after what you want with animal urgency.


remember these are all PROBABLE result, and not sure..

I have 24 Taurus Mars in 8th house which is "accidental dignity." To be honest, no one can rush me. Bombs could be thrown my way and I'd still be going at my own pace. However, when it comes to me wanting something, there's really no sleep until I possess it. By then I wouldn't care if the world is against me, the zombiepocalypse could be in full force and I'd still get through that hurtle just for the sake of getting to what I really want. I also am willing to go to hell and back for anyone I'm close to. I fiercely defend those I love and I enjoy cutting up people who I see as beneath contempt. I am slow to anger but once I'm angry, I will destroy anything and everything in my way. Well, Taurus Mars is detriment for that very reason alone!

Even though my Mars exactly conjuncts capulus, I still don't think it's that bad. Sure, Taurus Mars is nothing compared to the extremely exciting Aries Mars or sexy Scorpio Mars. Since my Mars is in the Scorpio house, it may add obsessiveness, possessiveness, and a vindictive cruel streak in whatever energy I choose to put forth. I don't mind that one bit. As a matter of fact, I like that muahahahaha:devil:

Ok, Aqua Venus is very, very weird. It makes the native love those who I call "betas" meaning not "alphas." Basically, it's love and investment into what's traditionally "lost causes" whether it be humans, projects, or things. Still, Aqua is fixed so think of it as an air tank- it's contained and concentrated. You're not as indecisive with Aqua Venus as you tend to think you are. You just tend to feel as if you're missing out on everything unless you "experience" it.

Libra Asc is cardinal and doesn't make you really indecisive, only at first glance. Since you don't have any planets in the 1st, you'll probably gain confidence and a more steady approach to your balancing act without much hindrance.

[may28gemini]

hahaha it's not a conscious thing. It's literally, accidental! Well, this is what I think. It doesn't mean the spouse is someone who's super wealthy or anything like that. I think it's the indicator that the woman will find a spouse who will financially take care of her if Mars makes trine or sextile to Jupiter. If Mars in 8th makes difficult aspects to say Saturn, she'll probably have a spouse who she'll be financially responsible to i.e. support her spouse.

Yep... definitely attracted to the somewhat-run-down seeking higher aspiration in other people/things. Although I do have a hard time blending in with the crowd, whether it's at large, or in a tight knit social setting... I say a hard time blending, because I don't necessarily "not fit in at all", it's just like I have to pull people aside, and connect with them one-on-one basis, otherwise no one is very aware that I am there, too :andy:

Since you don't have any planets in the 1st, you'll probably gain confidence and a more steady approach to your balancing act without much hindrance.Yeh, indecisive might have been a poor choice for word, but I do sympathize to a great extent to be the harmonizing balance for wherever I go, definitely not seeking the conflict that some people bring. If there is butting of heads, I still find ways to 'see it from their point of view' and offer solutions to what they're battling with. I have Pluto/Scorpio at the last degree of my 1st house, sextile sun (And Scorpio Ascendant in progressed chart, with Pluto in 1st house, closer to Asc and squaring Sun) so I think this does present itself during my people-encounters, I kind of intimidate people, not in a frightening way, but in a authoritative, here-to-get-what-I-came for way... :rightful:
Not so much a bad thing, buuut I usually would hope to assume that I could come off a little more flaky or friendlier than that.. hahah

[may28gemini]

I don't give credence to "progressed" charts- I only take in natal charts in consideration. Your Pluto is in 2nd house which tends to make you very obsessive over material possession as well as self-worth. 2nd house is NOT a hidden house and since Pluto sits in there, you actually reveal your Plutonian side when it comes to "things," literally. That's probably why people might see you coming off authoritarian when it comes to doing "things."

i don't do orbs or any sort of "textbook" interpretations of astrology. i'm usually right in my assessments but i don't pinpoint exact coordinates, orbs, degrees, etc. to say "i'm right because of this this and this." that's so virgo mercury and i'm gemini mercury.
