Slow and Steady Wins the Race!

 As Mars moves into Taurus from June 9th to July 20th, 2024, we find ourselves entering a phase where it is as if our energy slows down, allowing us to take our time with the things we are working on to change and the situations, the experiences we are in. This will actually be  a blessing for those who have struggled with impulsiveness, as it provides an opportunity to approach tasks with a steady, determined pace. I know some of those things you know you need to do seem vast but getting started is what is required because once we do, our commitment to that end goal can see us through to the end.

This is a time when you should have much more determination but watch for that stubbornness too!

The typically fiery and action-oriented Mars takes on a more grounded energy in Taurus. This is a time when we are passive until provoked, but once our heels are dug in, we stand our ground! This is a season where the beautiful combination of energies encourages us to pursue our goals with patience, seeking longevity and long-term satisfaction.It’s all about persevering. We may be slow to change course or get started, but our perseverance is unmatched once we begin. Do it. Start what matters to you!

It’s about using tried and tested methods to achieve things rather than diving into an pool of creativity and risk taking. This is not a time for taking risks; instead, we seek to build on solid foundations.We do need to watch for being stubborn and resistant to change. Don’t get me wrong though, resistance to change can also be a strength, helping us stay the course despite obstacles. We are going to want to work on achieving material success. and we will be working hard for material security wanting long-lasting results. We have stronger needs and the strength and stamina to run the distance to ensure they are met.

Watch out though for taking on too much, for feeling responsible for everything and everyone and  encountering too much stress because of it. It’s essential during this time to find healthy ways to relieve stress and avoid being too hard on ourselves. Self-compassion and balance are key.

Add to this that the Moon enters Leo, many reading this will find themselves being reminded of the importance of joy and playfulness. This can be a great time to let loose, have fun, and embrace the lighter side of life.

Mars in Taurus is a time to slow down, take deliberate steps, and build a solid foundation for the future. Embrace the patience and perseverance this cycle offers, and you’ll find that the rewards of your efforts are long-lasting and provide a real sense of fulfilment. 

Remember to balance hard work with moments of joy and self-care, and you’ll navigate this astrological phase with grace and strength.
