You may know your big three when it comes to your natal chart — the sun sign, moon sign, and ascendant sign. But did you know that Mars can also determine certain parts of your personality? Indeed it can, so if you’re a woman with Mars in Taurus, here’s what that means.
What Does Mars Mean in the Zodiac?
Astrology is ruled by planetary placements and their influences on human personalities. Every zodiac sign has a ruling planet or astral body. Leo’s ruling planet is the sun, Cancer’s is the moon, and Taurus is ruled by Venus.
However, your zodiac sign also takes up certain areas in the solar system. When certain planets occupy that sign’s space, the person who was born under that sign has different personality traits, strengths, and weaknesses. So if you were born under Taurus, Mars could move to be in your zodiac sign’s placement in space.
Mars, the planet, governs anger, war, assertiveness, and passion. When it comes to astrology, Mars dictates your psychological traits, such as what you’re more likely to do naturally without thinking. For example, Mars is likely to influence how you assert yourself, go for your goals, and end relationships or circumstances.
Below is what it means if you’re a woman with Mars in Taurus.
Mars in Taurus Woman Traits
You Prefer Blunt Forms of Communication
Have you ever had a friend who wants to tell you something but can’t form the words to say it? They’ll instead send you subtle hints that, if you read between the lines, could determine what the person is feeling underneath without them having to say it downright.
That inefficient and indirect form of communication maddens a Mars in Taurus Woman. There’s little worse than having an elephant in the room that someone decides to keep as a pet.
Instead, you prefer people to simply say what’s on their minds and be done with it. Someone doesn’t like the way you prepare their coffee? Great, just say it. Someone doesn’t like how you run meetings? They should tell you so that you can take their criticism and try to improve.
You can be a bit short-sighted and act or speak without always considering how other people can take it. If what you do bothers someone, you have no issue if they would tell you. In fact, you welcome it so that you can adjust your behaviors that bother people.
This goes to breakups too. If someone’s not invested in the relationship, you’d like a quick and blunt break up. They’re not seeing a future with you and would like to end it. It hurts, yes, but it leaves no ambiguity. And you hate ambiguity.
You speak clearly and directly and prefer others to do the same. People who beat around the bush and leave passive-aggressive notes drive you insane.
Slow and Steady Wins the Race
There are some people who can hole up and do their work all in one day. While you can certainly form such feats of human endurance, it’s not your preferred style. You operate best when you can partition out parts of the day to work incrementally on a project. Instead of completing the whole project in one day, you complete parts of it spread out over a lot of days.
Your preference for the slow and deliberate goes beyond work. You like things that have bigger payoffs over larger periods of time. A farmer, if you will, in a world full of hunter-gatherers. You’re just as prone to instant gratification as much as the next person, but life’s true joys come when you get a massive payoff over hours, weeks, or even years of hard work.
Slow and steady wins the race for you as opposed to frantic, rushed, off-the-cuff labor.
But Still Get Stuff Done
Bulls prefer to eat grass and mosey around the farm field. Their natural disposition isn’t to work. When they do work, though, boy do they work hard.
The same is true for Mars in Taurus women. When Mars swings around and is in your zodiac sign, you have a surge of energy to get all the things on your to-do list crossed off. When you get a little bit of momentum going, you soon feel like you’re unstoppable.
Your Endurance Knows No Bounds
You’re not likely to crack under pressure because you have the stamina and determination of the bull for which you are symbolized. This is true for powering through obstacles that come in your personal or professional projects.
However, you also have the tenacity to make it through life’s hardships. When it comes to unfortunate situations, there’s nothing that a Mars in Taurus woman can’t get through. She’s not as easily affected as other signs, meaning she will keep her nerve even when the going gets tough. She may express her frustrations to loved ones, but there’s no way she’s going to break.
You can grit your teeth and make it through a variety of unpleasant situations, which is classic Taurus stubbornness.
You’re Not Flexible and Prefer Routines
Some people can have vastly different days every day. These are the types of people who would be living in their vans and driving around the country, living the free-spirited, “devil may care” type of life that many of us fantasize about but could never actually do.
You, however, don’t like not knowing how the day will turn out. As a Mars in Taurus woman, you like your routine. When you go to bed each night, you look forward to the following morning, where you can make coffee in your favorite mug and get to work. It’s familiar, and what you’re used to, so why change it?
Your routine is sacred, and you don’t like disruptions to it. Whether it’s your car breaking down and forcing you to share rides with others, you dislike anything that makes you transition into a new routine. It’s outside of your comfort zone and what you’re used to.
Therefore, if you finish the day and look forward to going home and watching a movie, you’re a little peeved when your friend abruptly asks you if you’re free to hang out. You wished they had asked sooner so that you could plan it into your routine and mentally prepare for the shift. Right now, you’re in your “Lazy night at home mode,” and you dislike the mental shift.
While some Mars in Taurus women are fine with such minor flexibilities, it’s the broader go-with-the-flow lifestyle that you can’t get with. You want to know where you will be in a month, six months, and a year from now. You want to have a general sense of what your future holds. Not knowing would bring you immense anxiety.
You Like Setting and Achieving Your Goals
You like having structured ways to improve yourself and get to where you want to be in life. When you set your determination on self-improvement, for example, you will steadily work to achieve whatever goals you set for yourself.
Starting habits is hard, and everyone has their own preference to do it, but you find that setting goals is the best way to get stuff done. Whether it’s breaking tasks apart into bite-sized pieces or finding ways to incorporate habits into your life, a system of goals is the best way to go.
Dating as a Mars in Taurus Woman
You Have a No-BS Attitude to Love
You’re not here for thrills and frills. You don’t want a partner who will try to win you over upon first meeting you.
When it comes to love, you want a partner who’s reliable, honest, and loyal. You don’t need someone who has the fanciest gadgets or even the prettiest face. You just want something real with a down-to-earth person.
That’s why dating is quite easy for you. If a person seems like a match, but there’s no spark, you’ll tell them you enjoyed your date but don’t see a future with them. You know what you want and won’t waste time with people who aren’t worth it.
You Need a Strong Sexual Attraction to Someone
Those born with any type of Taurus sign are hedonistic. You love things that please the senses or the body. And what’s more pleasing to the body than good sex.
If someone has good looks, a great personality, and has a steady sort of life, you can’t make it work unless you’re sexually attracted to them. While sex isn’t the focal point of a relationship, it’s definitely a main character. You need someone who can satisfy you sexually and now how to handle your sexual urges.
You could make a relationship work without sex, but it would it won’t last as long as a relationship with a strong sexual pillar.
