Mars in Taurus / Mars square Pluto: Peace and Unity; Power and Control

As Mars moves into Taurus, we might find ourselves grappling with personal vs partnership matters and trying to find comfort between the two. Mars in Taurus is like a warrior being held back from battle, which allows the heat to cool. Mars is in detriment in Taurus, which might highlight periods of inconsistent motivation but it also promotes an orientation towards peace, unity and common ground.
Mars square Pluto later this week will highlights themes of power and control. Mars in detriment can be a strong advocate for those who might be disempowered.

Thank you Kelly! Baby astrologer trying to get weekly videos up regularly .. Mars just came into my 11h sitting on top of Saturn squaring Pluto a 01 aqua.. so I feel like my balloon just deflated.. Lol Thank goodness knowing aspects and I will muscle through some then nap. I’m practicing putting my face to the public . After it moves from Saturn I should be good to go! 💫🙏

Thanks for making me aware and not scared about the upcoming square to Pluto/Mars. My Mars is in Leo ♌️ 12th house 🏠, "The Spiritual square. Other astrologers make me feel as if I should freeze and do nothing to upset or disturb others because of the backlash that may come during this square period. I don't like to live in fear. Bruce Lee said: "Be like water.", so I'm not going to change my upcoming plans even though the Pluto Square Mars aspect is coming on Tuesday and will linger for about a week. I will be a but more cautious and be more loving ❤️ and compassionate. Thanks to ur advice, I'm going to continue to follow The Divinity within.

My natal mars is in scorpio and natal moon is in taurus. Its the inverse of this current transit, but definatly has made me reflect on the action and emotional internal life.

Feeling armed and ready to deal with this week which is loaded with fireworks in my work space 😅thank you Kelly🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thank you for not fearmongering this aspect ❤ such helpful insights

Glad it was helpful!

Such great perspective, Kelly. I’ve been feeling some big feelings and an urge to disconnect from a particular situation today, and I thought it was the moon joining my Leo moon at 4 degrees (12th house). No doubt, but I hadn’t also thought about the square with Mars, which is also bringing out the Pluto square, which is loosely opposite my moon, and also square my Uranus in Scorpio. It’s making even more sense now - i didn’t think of it because I was so fixated on the Gemini issues. Definitely need to take my Mars out into nature as you recommended!

Literally as Mars ingressed into Taurus, I received a call from a client about iron (Mars) deficiency in women (Taurus, ruled by Libra). You can't make this up! I work in medical and healthcare communications and my natal Mars is in Scorpio 10th house (medical/ surgical related career) with helpful quintiles related to Mercury, Libra, and 9th house (publishing/ communications). So I do check Mars in my chart for where the work will take me, and Juptier for the money I'd get from it.

Thanks, lovely Kelly! Very insightful. Keep it up!

[@KellysAstrology]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@waskowan]

interesting. my solar return falls on the 11th, so the mars square pluto transit will be a theme for the rest of the year-the gemini stellium will be in my 11H SR house/4H natal house, so i'm interested to see what it'll be like.

[@sparrow646]

I thought mars is in Taurus once a year except possibly when there is a retrograde? Why would mars be in Taurus only every 2 years?

[@KellysAstrology]

Mars' cycle is nearly 2 years so it's not possible for Mars to be in each sign every year!

This means job searching,.job prospects, and employer responses are gonna slow down.. ?!

[@SierraQuinton]

maybe a draw back from the urgency of these things and a focus on only applying for jobs that feel truly aligned with you. instead of applying for 20 different jobs, only applying for 2-3 that you can really see yourself working at

[@libramoon9968]

True. I think I need to leave the island and head to the 48 states
