Mars’ Transit of Taurus: Trust Your Body

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

Feb 12th, 2019: Ground Yourself

First Quarter Square between the Taurus Moon and Aquarius Sun (23 deg)
Vesta in Pisces square Ceres in Sagittarius (5 deg)
The First Quarter Square brings a crisis between liberation (Aquarius) and routine (Taurus). What’s new and unusual may now feel a bit too crazy and you may encounter a block that forces you to slow down.
This square is the “crisis in action” aspect so forward movement is still necessary, but in this case it’s movement of a different kind. Rather than floating above the issue and exploring the theoretical what ifs, it’s time to come down to earth and take slow, solid steps. This might feel a bit dull, but it’s necessary so you can ground yourself.
The square between Vesta (devotion) and Ceres (nurturing) tells us a bit more about today’s tension. 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).
Consider how the dynamics of withdrawal versus nurturing are playing out now – there could be a crisis of faith around mothering or care for someone who is ill (perhaps they don’t want help or require a different kind of nurturing).

February 11th, 2019: Real Venus
Moon in Taurus trine Venus in Capricorn (9 deg)
The Venus-ruled Taurus Moon makes one, major aspect. The trine to Venus would normally be quite indulgent, but Capricorn adds an edge of practicality and discipline. So the vibe is about solid acquisition -real proof of love, security and values.
This emphasized Venus energy is good for focusing on what has the most value. What’s worthiest and what makes you feel most secure? This is not romantic or wishful: look at the reality of what you love, want and have.

February 8th, 2019: A Day of Disconnects
Mercury in Aquarius inconjunct North Node in Cancer (26 deg)
Pallas in Libra inconjunct Juno in Taurus (29 deg)
An awkward day with a couple of inconjuncts (aspects of incompatibility). The key with this aspect is to adjust both sides so they can work together.
Mercury in Aquarius is innovative or odd ideas (of the future) and the Cancer North Node (path forward) is about developing a new area of comfort and emotional vulnerability. But the unusual information presented by Mercury will feel jarring and may distract you from the place ahead where you can feel safe.
Solution: use edgy (and detached) ideas to drive you forward but don’t ignore core feelings. Respect your needs while being honest.
Pallas/Juno highlights the disconnect between Venus-ruled Libra and Taurus. Pallas in Libra’s strategies reflect another or are focused on being polite/liked/loved. Juno in Taurus is the relationship agreement that is about stability and self-preservation at all costs. Libra is the other and Taurus is personal survival. Here we have social strategies that clash with a set relationship commitment.
Solution: remember that it takes two but don’t sacrifice core values and security.
