After a stint at its natural domain in Aries, Mars, the planet of passion, aggression and strength moves to earthy Taurus until July 20. Mars in Taurus takes a step back, focusing less on impulsive decisions and more on making sure that we’re taking the right steps forward, we’re being strategic and we’re standing our ground. This is a good time to plan your future goals!
On the flip side, Mars in Taurus can exacerbate the negative aspects of the zodiac sign, bringing emotions like jealousy and possessiveness into the surface. We all become a little more stubborn, and a little more unwilling to compromise — but that can also be a good thing.
Read on to find out how Mars in Taurus will affect your life.
