The Basics

Mars symbolizes our desires, our energy levels, and how we take action.  If your Mars is in Taurus, you have a determined and patient approach to life. You tend to work steadily towards your goals, and once you set your sights on something, you rarely give up until you achieve it. 

Money and possessions are important for most everyone, but this is especially true for you.  A padded bank account is crucial for your mental health and making money is the most significant factor in determining where you spend your energy. 

You are sensual and enjoy the pleasures of life, such as good food, music, and beautiful things. You have a practical and realistic view of life and tend to be resistant to change. You can be stubborn and possessive at times, especially when it comes to the people and things that you value.

You have a calm and enduring nature, but you can also be slow to act and lazy at times. Mars is in "Detriment" in Taurus - it takes a while for you to get going, much like it takes a semi-truck a longer time to get up to speed, but once at speed, few things can stop you.  You are less energetic in this physical sense, but are reliable and consistent and can handle more of a workload than most around you.  You prefer a regular routine, with definite hours and clearly defined responsibilities and tasks. You prefer to take your time and do things at your own pace. You may not be the most adventurous person, but you have a steady and reliable approach to life that others can count on.

Your stamina and persistence are your great strengths, but these traits can can limit you; playing it safe may cause you to get caught in a rut, refusing to seize new opportunities.
