Mars in Taurus

17 January 1942, 18:35, Louiseville, Canada

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Muhammad 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 10th house

You know exactly that you want and also, how to achieve it (as fast as you can, because you aren't very patient). You are extremely combatative and ambitious, you spend most of your time and energy achieving success in public life, politics, sports, etc. You are dynamic and impetuous, also aggressive and dominant with great power or influence on others, that is why you have very good leadership and organizational skills and although you are not very tactful or diplomatic, other people appreciate and like you because of your outstanding life strength which you radiate.

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 inconjunct Neptune

You are sensitive and emotional and you often try to suppress or at least hide this, so you wouldn't seem too soft, so you are often in conflict with yourself and you run away to your dream world and/or in laziness. All your actions depend on how you feel and you often work intensely at the last minute.

Mars square Pluto

You have enormous energy potential and have to actually try to keep it under control. You have a passionate, impulsive, fiery, impetuous and explosive character and such are also your reactions. You are often in conflict, because you are impatient, often tactless and intolerant. You quickly get agitated, argue often, sometimes you can even be violent. You have trouble holding back your physical and other appetites and sometimes have to pull all the stops to keep balance between what is possible and real and between what you want.

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).
