Mars enters Taurus

Mars crosses into Taurus on 18 May 2026 at 22:29 UTC.

An ingress is simply a body passing 0° of a sign, but it marks a genuine change of register: Mars in Taurus operates through earth means and at a fixed tempo. Mars redirects where effort and irritation go, and how directly people are willing to compete.

Taurus is ruled by Venus, so for as long as Mars is here its behaviour is coloured by that planet as well as by its own nature.
