Mars in Taurus

21 May 1966, 12:22, Boston, MA, USA

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Lisa 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 9th house

You are a spontaneous, independent and dynamic person, always prepared for change and you also like to introduce changes. You probably enjoy travelling and you travel a lot, you certainly are connected to abroad. Because you are basically interested in everything and you also have an enormous amount of will and energy to fulfill your numerous goals, you are a person of exceptional strengths and talents. You are interested in all sorts of areas, but are mainly concerned with the truth and you often work in journalism, law, etc.

Mars as culminating planet

Because Mars is your culminating planet, you have a strong will and a lot of work energy and drive. You are a natural warrior and leader and although you are not always the most tactful person, people follow you because of your enthusiasm, life strength and energy, which you usually radiate. Whatever you do, you do with enthusiasm. You are often successful in politics, army, also sport. With your direct approach, competitiveness and combativeness, you get on people's nerves and often meet people who put a spoke in your wheel.

Mars sextile Saturn

You are usually hard-working, diligent, conscientious and reliable. You often have an ambitious and also enterprising nature. You are organized, you organize your time and accumulate your energy well. You often have a good nose for business, you have will power and ambitions. You have support from important people.

Mars opposition Neptune

You are very emotional and sensitive, on the other hand you also have a lot of inner strength and well-developed intuition, but unfortunately, it often harms instead of benefits you, because you can mistake true premonitions with fears and deeply rooted patterns, so you can either give up too quickly (‘I feel nothing will come out of this’) or persist on the wrong path for too long, because you don't admit to yourself, that it is not the right path, or you get lost in your thinking and emotional worlds and so distance yourself from the right path and continue progressing on the current path, because you don't see other ways or you lose will. You often run from reality into your own world, but you also don't find satisfaction in it, until you accept your sentimentality and learn to use it to your benefit.

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).

Mars conjunction MC

You are usually an ambitious, decisive and firm person with clear goals; you know exactly what you want and you also always find a way to achieve it. You are determined and combative, usually nothing is too hard for you, you have no problem doing hard work and experiencing physical strains on the path towards reaching your goals. You don't feel good when things stand still, you don't like inactivity and laziness, you expect and demand a lot from others and from yourself. You often have leadership desires, ambitions and abilities and you try to be your own master, because you don't feel well in humble and/or subordinate role.
