Mars enters Taurus on May 18, slowing things down after the chaos and impulsiveness of Mars in Aries. Taurus prefers patience, stability, and steady progress, so this transit is less about rushing ahead and more about building something that lasts. Over the next several weeks, people may become more stubborn, persistent, and focused on security, money, comfort, and long term goals. Emotions and tensions can simmer beneath the surface during Mars in Taurus, but once people reach their limit, reactions can be intense. This transit encourages consistency, determination, and learning when to stand your ground.
