Mars in Taurus - Strength of Values - Impact on Ascendants

Any transit will make a difference…but transit of Mars is very significant in many ways…

Being lord of 1st house of the natural Kalpurush chart — Mars is the ascendent lord for everyone…It's the significator of all our actions…

Also, Mars brings change or transformation wherever it transits… as it is also the lord of the natural 8th house…

When Mars is in Taurus, it will aspect its own sign Scorpio — the sign of transformation….

So, change can be one of the major themes of Mars in Taurus….

Now, Taurus is also a fixed—bull sign so any change you are trying to make will not come as easy… so be persistent in what you want to change and make consistent efforts….

All actions will be result-oriented and focused on concrete matters….

So far, Mars was in Aires which is a Mool Trikon sign for Mars…one of the best placements for Mars but it couldn’t perform well as it was in the clutches of Rahu…

Mars was not in its natural energetic form & all his energy was used in protecting himself or conflicting with the circumstances…

Mars couldn’t do or achieve much in Aires…But with this transit in Taurus Mars is relieved from the restriction or bondage of Rahu…he is much relieved now?….to give some results…

Certainly, with Taurus Mars, there can be slowness…but concrete action…

Taurus is ruled by Venus, so the energy will be used in managing finances, family, revising our values…protecting resources…having some relaxing time to have pleasure in everything…also spending on having comfort in life.

The Mars sign in our chart shows how we respond to the conflicts and challenges in front of us… It will describe the degree of force that we have to go after what we want…. how we get into conflict and for what…

Mars also has significance for siblings, younger people?..man in our life…

Check, anyone…. how they work?…. their working pattern….if they are working with passion, enthusiasm then that Mars… indicates good dignity…& you will be self-motivated.

You need nothing…you just need a target, goal…you are then focused to achieve that…

Taurus is a fixed, earthy sign and encourages to go slow and steady. There is bull-like endurance and capacity to fight the toughest battles…

Taurus sign rules the neck, face, mouth, and throat in medical astrology. It rules our 5 senses like taste, touch, hearing, vision, and smell.

Mars rules blood, muscles in the body…Do pay extra attention to all of these as retrogression is not good for any health-related issues…

While Mars is in Taurus, deal with everything around with love, care, and affection. It’s an even and passive sign, that wants to go slow and smoothly. That’s how you need to deal with matters around you….

Mars rules the 7th and 12th houses for Taurus ascendant.… So, it is all about relationships, partnerships, and what you give in these relations…

Actually, Taurus is not the best placement for Mars…as Mars is too fast for this solid, earth sign… also it is sensitive & feminine in nature which is not like Mars….

Change doesn’t come easy with the Taurus sign…& Mars being the natural 8th lord, wants to change things wherever it transits…

Here, in Taurus, Mars will be determined to bring change in our resources, money, the way we handle or deal with our finances, family, and also our eating habits… We may question our own values…

Taurus Mars will try to protect or bring security & stability in all these matters….

Mars is generally very impulsive and has a risk-taking tendency…but Taurus Mars will be cautious with his action and will be practical in his approach.?…which is the best course of action while Mars is in Taurus…

Just be careful of being stubbornly defensive…

Mars had a tough time with Rahu and Uranus while in Aries?…There was frustration and suppressed anger…There must have been some changes in your life that has a major impact at some level…

So now Mars is on alert mode…he will not go blindly…the responses will be slow and with proper thought process…even your speech will be stable…

Mars will use all his strength in protecting and making a secure environment for himself and his family….

This Mars will be reliable and dependable…There will be motivated to put in continuous efforts to work on long-term plans, & have stability in life…

& Taurus Mars will highlight our desires & how we pursue them….

The reason behind our action will be with respect to finances, any material comfort, family togetherness, or our principles of life…

It can be a relaxing, joyful & pleasant time if we use it well with good food, & comfort with family?…as Venus, lord of Taurus is in Cancer at the beginning of its transit…

Our actions will not be quick but slow…step by step… in a very disciplined way…There is no rash or impulsive behavior. We will be passive, slow, cautious, or sensitive towards others…

But these tendencies go very well with Saturn…. Mars is also a very important planet for Saturn being in the star of Dhanishta…any move of Mars will impact the way Saturn works…

Saturn is trine to this Mars. We can expect some concrete results of Saturn with this Taurus Mars…

Other than that we do not have any major aspect or influence on Mars.

But Mars has its 4th protective aspect on Leo where Mercury is transiting initially…followed by the Sun & Venus…. Mars may try to control & protect Leo and any planet placed there….

Then Mars will aspect its own sign Scorpio with its challenging and opposite aspect. There can be struggle and conflict while making changes & dealing with others…just make sure that you do not get into conflicts or spoil the atmosphere with your aggression…

& Mars will have its transformative — 8th aspect on Sagittarius…Mars is determined to bring lasting changes, and will conclude the matters related to the placement of the Sagittarius sign in your chart & its significations like travel, higher education… molding your beliefs, any religious matters, and expanding your horizons…

Mars will be ready to take risks, and get into major conflicts here to make things happen at any cost…

Let us see the Journey of Mars in Taurus:

This year we have retrogression of Mars…from the early degree of Gemini to 14 degrees of Taurus…For more than 6 months Mars will be transiting between Rohini and Mrigshira nakshatra….

From, 10th Aug till 27th Aug, Mars will be in Kritika Nakshatra:

Both — Mars & Kritika nakshatra has fire element…

Mars will start this transit by burning something to purify… check the significance of the Sun in your chart & its placement…to observe the impact…

Kritika Mars may give some lasting impact before it starts to focus on its next target in Rohini…

Do keep in mind that Mars is not going to visit Kritika while in retrogression…

& Kritika is a Mishra mixed nakshatra in nature and gives equal treatment to friends and enemies…with no discrimination…

What this means is, that Kritika will do its job any which ways…irrespective of the role it plays in your individual chart…It will try to give justice…It’s a two-sided sword….so be careful…

The lord of Kritika — Sun will also cross gandanta in-between from 16th Aug to 18th Aug…. This can be a very sensitive time to release all your blocked emotions and expressions…

?Expect something significant with this gandanta and start of a new chapter in your life…

With this transit of Mars in Kritika, we almost reach the retrogression point of 13 degrees so do make most of this time and work accordingly…

Then from, 27th Aug till 24th Sep, Mars will be in Rohini Nakshatra:

Mars is not very happy in Moon’s nakshatra?…It lacks stability and gives a moody approach which Mars is not comfortable with…

But if we can use the energy of the Moon well then Rohini is capable to give rise and growth?..can give some new creation on all levels, granting great fertility…growth…

Moreover, it can create strong desires in us…enhancing our motivation to act on our goals…

But it also evokes some degree of jealousy, which can easily turn into conflict and aggression when Mars transits this nakshatra….

The most important thing to keep in mind is…. from here, that is the end of August…& Mars in Rohini…do not take up any important & new projects in hand…

There are chances of it going back and forth or there can be delays or repeated attempts…be ready for hard work & do take care of your emotions, and anger…

Check the lordship of Moon while observing the impact of Rohini transit….

Then from 24th Sep till 16th Oct Mars will be in its own nak Mrigshira:

This will be an eventful time as Mars will be in its own nakshatra…strong results can be expected….

It’s a soft nakshatra who is searching for some knowledge, and information and finds it also…. ultimately it may bring joy, pleasure, great enjoyment that is earned or conquered with hard work…

Check the lordship of Mars in your chart to check its impact….

Then from 16th Oct till 30th Oct Mars will be in Gemini — Mrigshira Nakshatra…

Now this Mars will be different…Mars is just touching Gemini and goes back to finish some unfinished tasks of the Taurus sign in our chart….

For nearly a month from 16th Oct till 14th Nov, this Gemini Mars may show you the probable future which can take shape by March 2023 — once Mars is in direct motion….

& in between for nearly 6 months — you will be working on that future vision…

We may feel a little lighter with Gemini Mars as it’s a clever, intellectual & fun-loving sign…

?There can be an increase in the ability to learn something new, & also have some great debatable conversations….

You can feel aggression in your communication…But all these are just for a month as Mars will transit back to Taurus on 14th November.

& Till 4th Dec Mars will be in Mrigshira nakshatra but in retro motion…

This is the time to revisit the area of your life where you missed to have your rewards or joy, & the success of your hard work. Mars will be in its own nakshatra so it will give strong results…

Then from 4th Dec till 25th Feb Mars will be in Rohini Nakshatra?…

?Again maintaining stability is very important during this time…Be careful and balance your emotions?..reactions in this time to make the best use of this time to your advantage…

See, Mars is revisiting this portion?..so anything pending of earlier time — which you started from the end of August till the end of September, can now actually take shape…

Especially, when Mars will get direct on 12th Jan’23 at nearly 14°….

These 2 months from 12th Jan till 12th Mar will be the most happening time. This will be the result giving time to not just Mars but also Saturn & Jupiter…

As Jupiter is in Saturn’s star & Saturn is in Mars’s star…So Mars will be the determining factor for both the transit…

Also, by this time, we shall have all planets in their direct motion…

Your struggles may come to an end by this time….

Let us see the impact on all 12 ascendants. Wherever the Taurus sign, is placed in your chart, along with Mars, Moon — their lordship and the connection that they make with respect to your ascendant, your running dasha period…. can determine the type of results that you can expect from this transit….
