Mars in Taurus

Mars in Taurus is where Mars sat in the zodiac at the moment of birth, the part of a chart read for how you act, compete and get angry. Mars stays in a sign for six to seven weeks, up to seven months around a retrograde. Taurus is a fixed earth sign.

Of the 6,194 well-known people in StarMap's dataset, 470 have Mars in Taurus for the whole of their birth date. Michael Jackson, Salvador Dalí and Corbin Bleu are among them. Their commonest Sun signs are Taurus (73), Pisces (69) and Aries (68); every Sun sign appears with Mars in Taurus. 21 more were born on a day Mars moved into or out of Taurus and are left out, because the hour decides and StarMap has no birth time for them.

What Mars in Taurus means

Read for how you act, compete and get angry. If this is your placement:

You act deliberately and stick with a course once you have chosen it, and your anger builds slowly but takes a long time to cool once it arrives. Sometimes you dig in out of stubbornness rather than conviction. It takes real provocation to make you snap, and you stay rattled for a while afterwards.

One placement is one part of a chart; the Sun, the Moon, the rising sign and the planets around them change how it plays out. Draw your whole chart to see the rest.

Positions are computed from each person’s birth date and place with the astronomy-engine ephemeris, checked against Swiss Ephemeris. Birth data comes from Wikidata; a placement is listed only when it holds for the whole birth date, and a rising sign only with a birth time Astro-Databank records. Readings describe tendencies, for entertainment and self-reflection; StarMap predicts nothing. Every planet in every sign.
