What Mars in Taurus means for you
Mars is in detriment in Taurus.
Detriment is the sign opposite a planet’s home, where it works less easily. Mars likes speed, and Taurus likes stability. The result is not weakness but endurance. You do not move fast, but you keep going long after faster people have stopped.
It takes a lot to make you angry. When it happens, your anger is slow, heavy and memorable. You resist when someone pushes you. The harder they push, the more firmly you refuse to move.
Taurus is opposite Mars’s own sign. This is called its detriment. Mars has to work harder here to show its qualities.
Love
Your desire is sensual and patient. You enjoy slow romance, physical affection and a partner who does not rush things. Once you commit, you are steady and loyal. You can become possessive when you feel insecure. Make sure your partner knows that when you are silent, you are thinking. You are not sulking.
Work & money
You do very well in long projects that need persistence: building, farming, finance, crafts and any field where steady effort brings results over time. You earn and save well because you do not follow trends. Sudden changes of plan annoy you a lot. Agree on the direction early and protect your own speed. Few colleagues can work as long as you.
