The other day I was explaining what we can expect from, and how to deal with, Mars by "transit" in Taurus until next February, and we said that the down-to-earth approach with a bucolic life style coupled to perseverance and endurance would do well, when keeping in mind the positions Neptune, Saturn and Jupiter will take as it relates to Mars.
Now take a look at a list of people we know were born when Mars was in Taurus. Maybe you then see the "trait" coming out more clearly. Again Mars is the planet that "makes" us want to DO stuff, it is symbolic for the "go" factor in our life. The sign it is in at birth seems to define where and how the human being will "apply" his or her natal Mars. Taurus is the energy field in the heavens that indicates how to enjoy life and take it "easy". So Mars when in Taurus has to adapt the "go and get done" willfulness and inherent pace to the more tranquil world view of the Venus-ruled and steadier bull sign. It can lead to highest achievements as well as to total downfall. Again, free will defines the outcome.
The list shows the above very beautifully applied both in good and not so good manifestations, see for yourself why I state this:
Robert Bly, Robert Frost, Omar Khayam (author of the Rubbayat), Henry Thoreau, Paul Verlaine, Martin Bormann, Adolph Eichman, Adolph Hitler, Fidel Castro, Ruhollah Khomeini, Paula Abdul, Maurice Bejart, Shirley MacLaine, Rudolph Nureyev, Ginger Rogers, Belinda Carlisle, Celine Dion, Wynona Judd, Chaka Khan, Carole King, Leontyne Price, Glen Campbell, Mick Jagger, Billy Joel, Salvadore Dali, Andy Warhol, Paul Klee, Edgar Degas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Bette Davis, Robert DeNiro, Sidney Poitier, Tom Cruise, Jack Lemmon, Charlie Chaplin, John Coltrane, and the spiritual teacher Rudolph Steiner, a sculptor himself, as Mars in Taurus loves to sculpt...
Now you have to know that I do not like to "take out" one aspect, although it does show alot in its own right. I have a worldview as a Pisces that must take in the whole picture of a chart at birth or of a chart in transit. The transit is like a chess game. In the beginning you have two neatly lined up structures of two rows of pieces, and from the first few moves onwards the thing is in constant morphing flow.
What will make this Mars in Taurus transit a bit more different if not difficult than others in years prior, is the fact that Mars will be put into a grand fixed cross, not dissimilar to the time around August 1999 when Mars however was taking the spot Jupiter will take in Scorpio soon by November. I like giving planet moves in the Zodiac the analogy of chess pieces on a board, where we see inherent symbiotic dynamic, and where we see pieces with more or less material value, and in better or worse "positions", making the "value" very relative. I would say Mars in Taurus has HIGH value, but goes into a lesser position now.
Mars in Taurus melts to nothingness with Jupiter in Scorpio, like a "pinned knight", and its drive dissolves with Neptune in Aquarius, and its "lets get going" willpower is simply held in check by Saturn in Leo. I would tend to think Jupiter will prime like a "castle piece" because it links to Uranus in Pisces. So Jupiter has a vast field of applicational or tactical range.
So there is at no time a given moment when Mars can even "get going" or apply intelligently, unless we make it "work" with Uranus, and this is why I think the world will seem somewhat at a stand still, while much pent-up energy (anger maybe) will build up - which needs an intelligent and positive outlet - and maybe that is a good thing... it means we get "time out", or time to readjust to the realities we ought to have seen coming a while back. This reality is I feel that our work with Earth as a partner will now be highlighted. Mars in Taurus likes to work with earthy elements.
So to come back to the above "famous" people list, you see who had obviously well-integrated and applied Mars-in-Taurus, and who did have severely challenged Mars positions in Taurus. Latest example of how Mars in Taurus can go wrong is Tom Cruise. Now imagine his birth Mars getting caught up between Aquarius Neptune (scientology), Jupiter in Scorpio (obsession) and Saturn in Leo (authority), and you see how he gets hemmed in to re-think his position on the grand chess board of life.
