MARS IN TAURUS: July 12-Aug 26, 2024: What Grounds and Centers You?
Wherever Mars goes, our attention goes. Mars likes action, even if it’s disruptive and uncomfortable (which is even more true as it sits with Uranus during this transit). Mars gives us courage and helps us get moving. Mars creates friction for change and (hopefully) growth. Taurus, on the other hand, is slow, stubborn, sensual, indulgent. As the very first earth sign ruled by Venus, comfort and security are key energies we’re being encouraged to focus in on during this time. Over the next 1.5 months, we will naturally gravitate towards becoming more grounded, connected and in tune with our bodies, stronger in our voices, more focused on our homes/properties/finances, and more present in our partnerships. Creative pursuits that require stamina and stick-to-it-ness are encouraged as Mars in Taurus can be thorough and have incredible patience… until it’s pushed too far and erupts like a volcano. Knowing when to take a break is very much supported during this time, so consider this your planetary “permission granted” if you feel you need it (not that you do!).
Mars in Taurus is very capable of being present and to fully take in the moment. It prefers we slow down, reconnect to nature and to our people, and to take the time to engage with the beauty around us. It’s sitting with Jupiter, the planet of mentors and beliefs, so this is a perfect time to reach out to those who align with your ideas and see how you can take action on them in your life or in your community. While we are in intense and disruptive times, this Mars in Taurus transit is begging us to get offline and to get back into nature, to get our feet on the ground, back into the art or dance studio, or to just go out with friends. These things keep us rooted into who we are in this space and time. Our nervous systems and hearts need this to keep us connected to our core beings and to the things that matter to us. The planets always build upon each transit so we don’t want to take this one for granted as it will give us the physical strength and the happy habits we will need to move into the faster paced time we will encounter with Mars in Gemini (Aug 26-Oct 20). More on this later. Just be present now with this Mars in Taurus transit and prioritize grounding connection. To consider: •What habits keep you steady and grounded? •What creative endeavors feel exciting to you? •Who do you want to connect with? •Are your ideals •What is your body telling you? •Are you able to speak up before it feels like too much to take on? •Are you excited for the upcoming Mars in Gemini time (Aug 26-Oct 20) where we’ll need to be on our toes, making decisions and taking action? If not, take the time now to get stronger in your physical being and to nourish your nervous system and mind can keep up once this season is over.

Please note: I am taking time off to be with my family so won't be doing readings until September. I will do my best to get forecasts out. Thank you for understanding and for your continued support. Enjoy the summer!
