Mars spends 7.61% of 1900–2050 in Taurus, 8th of the twelve signs. That is 0.72 points less than an even twelfth, 8.33%. Mars moves fastest near its perihelion in Pisces and slowest near aphelion in Virgo, so it lingers in Leo and Virgo and hurries through Aquarius and Pisces.

From the NASA JPL DE440 ephemeris; retrograde returns count as one stay. Swiss Ephemeris agrees: median under a minute, largest 7.5 minutes where the planet barely moves. Local times: IANA time zones, to the minute.

Mars governs drive and anger — how you pursue and how you fight. In Taurus, that function takes on steadiness, comfort and a long attention span — a Fixed Earth expression ruled by Venus.

Taurus faces Mars’ home, Scorpio, across the wheel, so tradition puts it in detriment here: −5.

In practice

What it looks like in a person

Energy is slow to start and very hard to stop. The person works steadily, resists being pushed and has remarkable stamina for things they care about — building, saving, growing, finishing. They prefer one well-chosen effort to many hurried ones. Mars is traditionally in detriment in Taurus, which describes slowness to act rather than a lack of strength.

From the outside

What other people notice first

Others notice calm persistence and immovability: this person does not hurry, does not quit, and cannot be bullied into changing course.

Mars in Taurus in love

Sensual and persistent; shows desire through physical affection, loyalty and reliability. Pursues slowly but thoroughly, and does not give up on a relationship easily.

At work

Excellent at long projects, craft, construction, finance and anything requiring endurance and patience. Once committed to a task, they rarely leave it half done.

Under pressure

When things go badly

Under strain the person becomes stubborn. Refusing to budge, simmering anger that finally erupts, and holding on to a losing position are the usual risks.

Commonly overstated

What Mars in Taurus does not mean

It does not mean lazy. The pace is deliberate, and the results tend to last longer than those of faster placements.

The work

What this placement asks of you

Flexibility when a plan needs to change.

Where it plays out

The house decides that, and the house needs a birth time.
