What Mars does in a chart
Mars describes your drive, ambition, and how you take action. Its sign says in what style, and its house says in which part of life.
Mars in Taurus
Taurus is a fixed earth sign. Earth signs build, keep, and trust what they can touch and measure. Fixed signs hold things. They sit in the middle of each season and like to finish. Mars in Taurus takes on that style.
Condition in the sign
Mars is in detriment in Taurus, opposite the sign it rules. It works here, but against the grain of the sign, and that friction is often where the placement grows most.
