If Mars is motivation and action, then it’s time in Taurus teaches us to slow down and enjoy life’s simple pleasures. Taurus is the first earth sign and helps us understand what we need not only to survive but thrive.

For that Taurus is our material needs, our money, our stability, and what we value. It’s also what we accumulate and own. Taurus is a sign that’s known for its love of pleasure and a need to graze and taste its way through life. With Mars calling the shots in Taurus for the next six weeks, from July 5 to August 20, 2022, we’re seeking out life’s simple comforts.

Note that Mars not only activates Uranus in Taurus and a powerful story of reinvention that began in May 2018 and March 2019, but it activates recent eclipse degrees. In short, the next six weeks may be dramatic at times and push us to take action on something that has been brewing or a major story over the past few years.
