Your 2024 Mars In Taurus Horoscope: What's In Store For You From June 9 To July 20
It's time to prepare for a total energy shift, especially in terms of how you pursue your goals, manage your anger, and express your passions, thanks to the planet of action, Mars moving into Taurus. Over the last few weeks, it's possible you've been feeling more fired up — the result of Mars moving through one of its home signs, cardinal fire sign Aries, known for its impulsivity, dynamism, assertiveness and burning desire to perpetually come out on top. But Mars entering Taurus, which occurs on Sunday, June 9 at 12:35 a.M. ET/Saturday, June 8 at 9:35 p.M. PT, marks a new chapter in which your fuse could be longer as you focus on moving toward your aspirations in a far more deliberate, slow and steady manner.
Here, all you need to know in order to make the most of Mars' 2024 trip through Taurus.
What does Mars in Taurus mean?Mars, the go-getter planet, oversees passion, sex, action, inner drive, courage, anger, motivation and self-assertion, and the last time it moved through Taurus, the second sign of the zodiac symbolized by the Bull, was back in summer 2022. That's because it takes about two years to make its way through the zodiac. So, to understand how Mars expresses itself in Taurus, you could think back to what life looked like between July 5 to August 20, 2022. You might also consider the Bull's ruler, Venus, which oversees relationships, beauty, values and money. In turn, Taurus is pleasure-seeking, luxury-loving and invested in nurturing not only their bonds but their sense of security and assets.
People born with a strong Taurus influence tend to be loyal, dependable, tenacious, grounded and have a long fuse. And given that Taurus is one of the more resolute, albeit stubborn, fixed signs (the others are Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius), they're apt to dig their heels in more, too.
All of this is worth holding in mind as you think about how we'll all be more apt to move through our most passionate emotions while Mars is in Taurus. We might also be more inclined to focus on goals that center around earning, paying down debt, setting up a budget and tending to or acquiring material possessions, given that Taurus is associated with the Second House of Income. This is also the sector of self-worth, so that's a theme that could take on a feature role over the next until Mars leaves Taurus on July 20. You could find that losing your cool is more intimately tied to feeling undervalued — by yourself or others. And either getting into a conflict or feeling motivated could be fueled by your personal values, which is another Second House theme.
What can you expect during Mars' 2024 trip through TaurusAlthough Mars moves through Taurus approximately every two years, all the planets move at different rates through the zodiac, so the action-oriented planet's link-ups with other celestial bodies change annually. A couple key moments:
Mars square PlutoIn 2024, soon after moving into the sign of the Bull, on Tuesday, June 11, Mars will form a tense square to Pluto, the planet of transformation and regeneration, in fellow fixed sign Aquarius, bolstering your desire to go to bat to take control and amplifying the potential for power struggles. Because this square is happening in two signs that are known to tend toward obstinacy, doing your best to infuse the moment with a bit more flexibility could prevent unnecessary fireworks.
Mars conjunct UranusOn Monday, July 15, Mars links up to game-changer Uranus in Taurus, which can set off unexpected, aggressive developments as a result of you or others attempting to break out of a rut. You might want to strike out on your own, assert your independence, or move in a whole new direction out of the blue.
Here, how Mars in Taurus 2024 will affect you based on your sign. (Be sure to read both your sun and your rising sign if you know it. If you don't, you can find it in your birth chart or by using this CafeAstrology calculator.)

Taurus June 2024 Horoscope: Read Your Monthly Predictions
Bella Geraci/Allure
Read your sign's 2024 horoscope to see what's in store for you this year, or check out the Taurus personality profile.
Happy June, Taurus. This month brings massive strides at work or in your creative projects, plus a witchy excuse to get rid of your boyfriend (kidding, mostly). During May, Pluto went retrograde, helping you reevaluate your professional goals. Now, this month sees you putting those into action. But first, the month begins on a spiritual note, as your psychic abilities are heightened. This occurs on Sunday, June 2 when the messenger of the gods, Mercury, which is currently in your sign, forms a sextile (which indicates opportunity) with dreamy Neptune in Pisces, sharpening your intuition and making your dreams particularly prophetic. Pay close attention to the messages that the universe might be trying to send you during this period. However you connect with the divine—whether that's a nice long bath, communicating with ancestors, or even something more traditional like attending a religious service—doing so can help you feel more secure in your footing and ready to tackle the challenges of everyday life.
The following day, Monday, June 3, Mercury moves into its home sign of Gemini, offering smooth sailing for any money talks. This transit is beneficial if you've been too stressed out to discuss financial matters like rent with roommates, chase unpaid invoices, or even explore new job opportunities. You're feeling confident; take advantage of it. This can apply to expanding your creative passions as well. The ultra-ideal day to go after what you want comes on the welcoming new moon in Gemini on Thursday, June 6.
Professional and/or creative progress continues to be a theme as Saturday, June 8 sees the fighter planet Mars enter your sign. With Mars in Taurus, your confidence and charisma skyrocket, helping you to tackle challenges head-on. You're feeling excited about moving forward with a project, which is a nice change from the anxiety that can sometimes accompany attention.
After a productive start to the month, feel free to take a step back and focus on self-care starting on Sunday, June 16 when sweet Venus, your ruling planet, moves into Cancer, coinciding with Father's Day. This transit emphasizes erecting boundaries. It's a day that may bring nice phone calls or family BBQs for some, but it can also be stressful if your family situation is even remotely complicated. Be gentle with yourself, especially since Venus squares (a super stressful aspect) Neptune on the same day, which could leave you feeling vulnerable.
Your phone may ping with welcome news regarding your work or creative projects.
The Summer Solstice on Thursday, June 20 marks the beginning of Cancer season and brings the longest day of the year. It's also the Pagan holiday Litha, depicted in a particularly terrifying manner in the film Midsommar, so feel free to burn your boyfriend in a bear suit (or just dump the guy). If things are going well in your love life, this is actually a fun time for love magic. It's also said that fairies like to come play on the human plane around this time. Go ahead, grab your flower crown.
The full moon in busy Capricorn on Friday, June 21, may leave you feeling a little unsettled. While not as anxiety-provoking as eclipses, this full moon might still stir some up paranoia, so it's wise to rest and relax and not overburden yourself. While it's probably a good idea not to overload yourself with social media around this time because full moons tend to mean manifestation, your phone may ping with welcome news regarding your work or creative projects.
The month concludes with Saturn, the task maker of the zodiac and Capricorn's strict ruler, going retrograde in Pisces on Saturday, June 29, primarily affecting your friendships. Because you're a fixed sign, change can be really stressful for you, but the message of this retrograde is that it's okay for your social group to change as you grow up. If you have one best friend who's been really dropping the ball lately, consider putting the energy you were expending on trying to make it work into nurturing new and growing friendships. It's important to welcome love as it appears, Taurus. Enjoy the opportunities that June brings, and we'll see you in July.

Mercury, the planet of communication, enters Gemini and helps you develop a deeper awareness of your choices. While this transit may make you more communicative than normal, as Gemini is one of the ruling signs for Mercury, it also represents a duality of what your soul feels drawn to and what your human may want to enjoy. The goal is to find a balance between both your soul and humanity so that you can seize possibilities and know that you are aligned with your higher self as you do. Be mindful of seeking attention outside of your relationship or talking in circles with your partner during this time. Be clear and direct about what you need; you can use this energy to progress your romance.
New Moon in Gemini: Thursday, June 6

The New Moon in Gemini will rise alongside the Sun, Mercury, Jupiter, and Venus, intensifying this air sign's energy. The New Moon in Gemini creates a stellium, in which five or more planets are centered together in one zodiac sign, creating a powerful wave of energy. Gemini is the sign of the twins and of duality, which means that you will have to make a crucial decision around this time, so it's best to take your time and reflect before doing so. Use this energy to create a new beginning, but remember it's for long-term versus momentary enjoyment.

The energy of Cancer can help you move past recent challenges, and also enjoy more space of love and connection with one another. Because Cancer also rules the mother, this can be an opportune time for meeting families, as well as starting your own if that is in the stars.

Zodiac Signs Who Will Experience The Most Profound Affects: Aries, Gemini, Leo, and Scorpio
Cancer Season begins as the Sun shifts into this water sign, and suddenly, your sole focus is on the home you live within and the one that resides within yourself. Cancer Season is a perfect time to get back to self-care, whether it's how you care for your physical body or simply taking more time to rest. Often, Cancer Season directs you inwards, which means it can be a less social time but can also build reconnection in your relationship as you are more focused on creating a life together than jetting away for an impromptu weekend trip. Use this energy to focus on your home, the emotional safety you want to feel, and the relationship that helps bring you back to your most authentic self.
Full Moon in Capricorn: Friday, June 21

Zodiac Signs Who Will Experience The Most Profound Affects: Cancer, Virgo, Gemini, and Capricorn
The Full Moon in Capricorn on June 21 is opposite the Cancer Sun, balancing your obligations and emotional fulfillment. Capricorn rules the father, while Cancer is the mother, so family events can arise during this time, which may test your ability to follow your heart, especially if there are other duties you are being asked to participate in. But the most beautiful contrast between Capricorn and Cancer is the notion of unconditional love and the power to focus on what matters most.
Related Stories From YourTango:Oftentimes, with the energy of Cancer and Capricorn, you will have a new awareness that will have you stepping away from career matters to invest in your relationship and family life with greater conviction. This lunation will bring to fruition a theme involving what you choose to commit to, which began with the New Moon in Capricorn on January 11. Look for what has evolved since that time, how you can better follow your heart, and what you genuinely need from love.
Saturn retrograde: Saturday, June 29

Zodiac Signs Who Will Experience The Most Profound Affects: Virgo, Scorpio, Sagittarius, and Cancer
Saturn stations retrograde in Pisces and initiates an era of spiritual maturity that can help evolve your romantic life into greater commitment and meaning. Saturn is the taskmaster of the zodiac and the planet that governs over boundaries and karmic lessons. In Pisces, Saturn seeks to expand your sense of oneness by healing and developing your spiritual acuity so that you can mature into your healing adult self as you leave behind the wounds of your inner child. Saturn retrograde in Pisces promises to help you know when to put the work in and when to cut ties, as you are encouraged to take a deep dive into all that is unseen so that you may develop the clarity to know confidently what relationship is the one you are meant to commit to.
