Mars Transit in Taurus 2024

Mars is about to go through its next transit in the sign of Taurus from 12th July, 2024 for next 45 days. In a way, it is an important transit of Mars for all of us as after this transit Mars is going to lose its dignity for next 9 months (from end-Aug, 2024 to start-June, 2025) which is going to shape-up major part of next 1 year for all of us. So, as Mars goes through Taurus sign, it is probably the last chance for all of us to prepare ourselves for difficult transits of Mars in Gemini/Cancer, so that we can deal with it more proactively.


Hence, let’s understand transit of Mars in Taurus sign.


Important Energies –


Mars – Mars represents our will power, courage, ability to take actions, aggressive nature, anger, our fighting ability, brother, male friends, a boyfriend for a girl, a soldier, an athlete and real estate etc. Basically, Mars represents actions/efforts, and wherever it transits, we start or we should start taking actions in that area of life.


Taurus - Taurus is the 2nd sign of zodiac belt, so it represents many things related with 2nd house of horoscope like, Hoarded Wealth, Assets, Savings, Finances, Luxuries and Liquid Money. All in all a sign related with luxuries and all the conveniences of life. Taurus is consisted of 2 and half Nakshatras, i.e. Krittika, Rohini and Mrigshira. Also, Taurus' lord is Venus.


Needless to say that everything I am going to say now depends upon the whole chart. Chart + Dasha + Transit = Event. This is general rule. So, please don’t make any conclusion just because of one transit.


Duration of Transit – Mars will enter into Taurus on 12th July, 2024 and will stay there till 25th Aug, 2024.


Following are the main results of this transit -

• First of all, Mars will be in a neutral dignity here. Mars is neutral planet with Taurus lord Venus. Hence, this is kind of average position for Mars; neither too good nor too bad.

• Mars represents our actions, efforts, aggression and courage etc. So, whichever house/sign Mars transits into, we start putting our actions and efforts in matters related with that house/sign.

• Taurus is the sign of Wealth and Assets. Hence, this transit will make us put actions towards our finance, wealth, assets and securities. We can see ourselves more active in gaining wealth or securities. People can be much more active in gaining assets and real estate matters.

• As Mars remains a malefic planet which also represents aggression, we can see people getting into conflicts due to wealth and assets related matter. Also, the malefic nature of Mars can represent someone’s spendthrift nature too. Hence, we need to be careful about money matters in coming times. It can also make people possessive in money matters.

• People can be far more aggressive, if they don’t know how to divert energy in positive pursuits. Aggression can be directed towards things related to the house where Mars is transiting but it depends on person how he utilizes it? Like for me, it is 7th house transit. I can be aggressive/protective towards people/masses or I can be aggressive/active/ambitious towards my business. That’s where we can utilize our free will and divert the energy towards more positive pursuits.

• People should also be careful while driving and travelling as Mars itself represents accidents, bloodshed or injuries. It is more so if Mars is transiting through Dushthana Houses (6/8/12) or Maraka houses (2nd house/7th house) or 4th house where Mars loses its directional strength.

• Another important combination that is taking place is Mars in Taurus and Rahu in Pisces would create Paap Kartari Yoga for Aries sign. So, people can be going through a phase of lack of confidence or self-worth, especially in the area of life where Aries sign falls in chart. We should not be expecting much results from the matters related with house where Aries sign falls in our chart.

• It is important that we are aware or conscious of our actions and don’t over-react at circumstances. Meditation and being Mindful can help us certainly.


Then Mars has 3 aspects –


a. Mars 4th aspect will be on the house where Leo falls in our chart. Person will try to take control in matters related to that house.

b. Leo sign will be more and more important during this transit as Mars-Saturn both will be aspecting Leo sign. Mars-Saturn energy exchange brings frustration and need for hard work as Mars wants quick results but Saturn brings results after immense hard work and delay. As Sun-Venus will also transit through Leo in meantime, it shows a difficult time for relationship matters as Venus will be in difficult signs (Cancer, Leo and Virgo) for next 3 months. So, there can be lots of frustration and need for hard work in matters related to the house where Leo sign falls into your chart.

c. Mars 8th aspect will be on the house where Sagittarius falls in our chart. We can see some instability or sudden changes/events in matters related with that house. This can also make people rigid about what they believe-in or bring some major changes in belief system.

d. But main focus for next 1 year will remain on the house where Scorpio sign where all major transiting planets are aspecting right now; i.e. Saturn, Rahu, Jupiter and Mars. Mars will continue to aspect Scorpio sign through its 7th aspect from Taurus. Person will be seen as aggressive or dominant in matters related to that house. There can be lots of activities in the house where Scorpio sign is falling in chart.

e. As Scorpio itself represents accidents and surgeries, it again shows the need to be careful against any such events. It is more so if Scorpio is falling into Dushthana Houses (6/8/12) or Maraka houses (2nd house/7th house) which are difficult for health. It also shows major changes or instability in matters related with house where Scorpio falls into your chart. Mars aspecting its own sign can energize it and give courage to people to go through there Scorpion transformations in matters related with that house.

f. Again, things related with Scorpio and the house where it falls in your chart will be area of focus because of sudden changes and unstable nature of Scorpio. Probably, this is the last time Mars will give us omens and indications towards proactively dealing with these instabilities in life before going into difficult signs Gemini/Cancer for next 9 months’ time.

g. Final event is always based on Chart + Dasha + Transit.


Hope this helps. Thanks,
