Mars in Taurus

20 December 1990, 10:41, Brattleboro, VT, USA

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Jojo as “you”.

Mars is a planet of physical energy and action. It rules the Aries sign and traditionally (before Pluto was discovered) also Scorpio. Mars is also one of the personal planets, because on average it stays in one sign for less than 2 months and therefore has an important influence on our personality.

In personal horoscope, Mars is connected to action, energy, competitiveness, hot-bloodedness and impetuousness. The position of Mars tells us in what way and in what form you express your activity. Mars also indicates your ambitions and the work you do, which is connected to these ambitions.

Mars in Taurus

You are stubborn and firm, at your job you are reliable, hard-working, persistent and you can even do laboring work. Perhaps you do your work slowly, but you get things done systematically, methodically and responsibly. In your youth, you might be prone to being lazy, because you find it difficult to get something started at once and on the spur of the moment. Whatever you do is well considered and thought through. But when you do start doing it, you rarely leave things unfinished. You are popular among co-workers or as boss, because of your fair and reliable personality, however, you often like arguments and quarrels and may even become involved (although, fortunately, not often) in a fight.

Mars in 3rd house

You are a lively and dynamic person, sociable and even dependent of company, but sometimes you act in caustic, ironical, intolerant and even sarcastic way. Because you have a slightly quarrelsome nature, you put a lot of dynamics into personal, family, neighbor and other relationships. You are interested in everything, you have a very adaptable, active and flexible character, you are a good writer and speaker and you have personal, direct and, to some people, offensive style. You are attracted to journalism, etc.

Mars trine Saturn

You are diligent, decisive, practical, organized and persistent, you have enormous strength and physical ability and good renewal ability. You tackle manifold businesses and projects, including heavy and strenuous work that demands good physical condition. You are methodical and have good strategic abilities, you like planning and often set high goals, which you often also fulfill, because they are clear and realistic and because you are also ambitious, motivated and also strong-willed. You have leadership abilities and others acknowledge this role to you and are also prepared to follow you, because they appreciate you, all in all, also because of the actual results you achieve.

Mars square Ascendant

You are energetic and have enormous physical abilities, but you don't always organize them best and you either waste your energy or you don't have enough of it. You are extremely motivated, competitive and combative, also (self)destructive, that is why you are prone to injuries. If things aren't happening fast enough or as you imagine them to, you try to speed them up, sometimes with inconsideration and even violence, so your relationships with others aren't easy. These characteristics of yours can be the consequence of feeling unaccepted and of lacking attention in early period of life (and you perhaps feel that you always have to prove yourself).
