Mars in Taurus

With Mars in Taurus, a sign where it is in detriment, you act slowly but with remarkable stamina. Your energy is steady, patient and determined, and once you get going, almost nothing can stop you.

You are not the first to start, but you are often the last one standing when the job is done. Mars in Taurus, in detriment, loses the speed it likes but gains rare tenacity. You move at your own steady pace and see through what you take on, whether it is renovating a house or building up savings. Your desire is sensual and patient, rooted in the concrete and in pleasures of the senses. You know how to work with your hands and your physical stamina is often good. It is hard to push you into anger, but when it happens it is like a bull charging: slow to start, impossible to stop. The difficulty is that your tenacity can harden into inertia. You may refuse to change your method even when it no longer works, turn a deaf ear to other people’s requests, or chew on anger for weeks without voicing it. Pressure makes you more stubborn, not faster. Adjusting course isn’t defeat: it is often what lets your stamina get you to the right place.
