Mars’ Transit of Taurus: Trust Your Body
Photo by rawpixel.com from Pexels
Mars enters Fixed Earth sign Taurus on February 14th. Actions, anger, sexual energy and initiative become focused on survival – what’s real and most valuable.
This is a deliberate placement for Mars. It’s about doing what needs to be done in order to survive and thrive. Momentum can slow which will allow you to carefully consider your next move. This is not about impulse or risk – don’t try to rush or push a situation faster/further than it wants to go. Mars in Taurus is patient and focused on long-term gain. This is a builder’s energy – many actors known for their amazing physiques have natal Mars in Taurus.
Consider what you can build during this transit. Don’t expect quick results, but imagine what you could accomplish if you focused your energy in the same direction, day after day? Taurus is about routine, and this is the building block of all great accomplishments.
This transit is excellent for looking out for yourself in a financial or emotional situation. It can also be an intensely sensual and indulgent influence as physicality and comfort are emphasized. Mars in Taurus can be basic – if it feels good it’s a yes and if it doesn’t feel good it’s a no. Pay attention to what feels pleasurable/secure. Watch for physical reactions that tell you if a scenario is positive or not – trust your body.
Here are the aspects Mars in Taurus will make:
Feb 27th: sextile the Pisces Sun (9 deg)
Feb 28th: inconjunct Ceres in Sagittarius (9 deg)
Mar 10th: sextile Neptune in Pisces (16 deg)
Mar 14th: trine Saturn in Capricorn (18 deg)
Mar 20th: trine Pluto in Capricorn (22 deg)
Mar 21st: inconjunct Jupiter in Sagittarius (23 deg)
Mar 22nd: trine the Capricorn South Node (24 deg)
Mar 22nd: sextile Vesta in Pisces (24 deg)
Mar 23rd: inconjunct Pallas Rx in Libra (25 deg)
Mar 24th: square Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (25 deg)
Mar 31st: Gemini ingress

Astrology of Now: Do It
Just keep running. The finish line is in sight (or at least a pitstop). Mars, the planet of fire, set a fuse at the start of January that’s been fizzing and popping all the way to this week. Today and yesterday, Mars finally made a conjunction with the planet of surprises, Uranus in Aries, the sign of beginnings in the very final degree. Wherever this falls in your chart — and depending on aspects — you may have a wake up, or some of you may have set off an explosion. Mars moves into Taurus on Valentine’s Day (tomorrow) where […]

Mercury in Pisces square Ceres in Sagittarius (5 deg)
Mercury in Pisces conjunct Vesta (5 deg)
Mars in Aries conjunct Uranus (29 deg)
Mars in Aries opposite Pallas in Libra (29 deg)
Mercury/Vesta
The Mercury/Vesta conjunction activates yesterday’s Vesta/Ceres square.
“Vesta in Pisces wants to withdraw and contemplate while Ceres in Sag wants to overwhelm with expansive care and protection. Vesta in Pisces is pure and spiritual (or magical) while Ceres in Sag can trample over sensitivities in the rush to nurture (and the rush to do what’s best).”
Mercury/Vesta indicates absolute focus on a spiritual idea or a dream – gazing at what can’t be fully seen or devoting yourself to a compassionate/ethereal concept. Meditating on the whisper. The square to Ceres suggests this information will clash with expansive (and loud) attempts at nurturing. Someone may be saying “No” to caring efforts or disagreeing with a philosophy of mothering. Basically, yesterday’s tension is put into words as the quiet voice disagrees with the bold proclamation of nurturing.
Mars/Uranus
The Mars/Uranus conjunction in the final degree of Aries indicates a last chance to break away, fight or escape. This volatile energy demands freedom to act but it’s easy to get carried away and take unwise risks.
Something needs to end (or be ignited) but remember that this energy can be accident-prone if mishandled. Impulse control is nonexistent. The opposition to Pallas suggests sudden actions will disrupt a social or relationship strategy. There may be impatience with the polite approach or a powerful desire to burn through the niceties and assert the truth/your will.
There’s potential for positive and negative here. Much depends on what’s being burnt away. Carefully consider what you’re asserting and why. Is it really necessary to burn that bridge? It might be, but know that what you set fire to will be gone for good – even if you’re igniting a new beginning, the fuel will be artifacts from the past.
Combined with Mercury/Vesta’s focus, we have an interesting mix of hot and cool. Calm and agitated. Actions are incendiary but thoughts and words can help you see beyond the heat or anger. Pay attention to the quiet voice – what’s it saying?

The astrology of Alexander McQueen
http://gty.im/77327384 I just watched the documentary McQueen about fashion designer Alexander McQueen on Netflix and was struck by both his exceptional genius and his turbulent personal life and apparently fragile psyche. McQueen was born on March 17, 1969. (Geeky astrological details: Astro.com has provided a birth time of 10:45 am but this is not […]
