This explanation is found in 26taurus's post, but I find this transit important enough to make a brand new post for. http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/005912-2.html

Well here it is again...

Rule: Whenever Saturn enters a new sign, Mars goes retrograde in a certain house, creating a personal path for the Saturn transit. This means that as Saturn enters a new sign (in this case LEO) the Mars transit will be transiting another house at the same time to personalize the next Saturn transit. These are two separate planetary cycles that weave a personal meaning for you.

Mars will be entering Taurus on July 29th and transiting this position until February 18th 2006. We are looking at transiting Mars (the current Mars). This is the only time that Mars changes the way it expresses itself. Transiting Mars takes on the strength and demeanor of a mini-Saturn in its transit through Taurus. Ultimately, this transit will now redefine the house where Taurus governs.

We all know that Saturn redefines every house that it is in, and in just this case, Mars will take on the attributes of Saturn during this Mars transit. The beginning of the transit starts on July 29th and continues until Oct. 2, 2005. This is when Mars goes retrograde and stays retrograde until December 10th, 2005.

During the retrograde you will be internalizing all your recent decisions up to that point. The retrograde period is a time when God plays “52 Pick-Up” with your life. This is when you slow down and decide if this is the way you want to go. There will be changes during this time that encompass any decisions made from August 8th until the retrograde.

Now I will try and say it in people language. The direction of Saturn in Leo is refined by the Mars transit. This Mars transit along with the TS will enable you to be more personally involved with Saturn’s path. This year as TS enters Leo, Mars is entering Taurus. Now go back to your chart and find the house that Taurus rules. There will be some major goings on here in the next 6 months that will make your TS much more personal to you.

If you have planets in Leo or Taurus, this will be an interesting time with lots of action going on as they challenge each other. One thing to remember is that Leo and Taurus are both fixed signs that dislike change and this Mars transit will call for change.

The first part of the Mars transit will start at the end of July and go to October 2nd. Then it will go retrograde until December 10th. This retrograde period is the most important time because you are internalizing the decisions you have made so far. The retrograde will bring in challenges and delays to your previously made decisions. This is an excellent time to re-evaluate your direction or just refine what you have already done. This retrograde period is from October 2, 2005 to December 10, 2005.

In December you will have the opportunity to rethink or refine whatever path you have taken so far. Somehow this path has obstacles that you didn’t, or couldn’t, foresee; so, it takes more time to get where you want to go. Also, personal things may come up that require you to change your path a little. This is the perfect time to ride the wave. The retrograde is time to see exactly what you are facing and what has to change.

The end of February is the end of the Mars transit. December to February Mars will be direct and will not retrograde again until the next time Saturn enters the sign of Virgo in about 2 ˝ years. The fact that God plays “52 Pick-Up” with your life in October and November is an added adventure to ensure the path you are on is the best path for you.

MARS IN TAURUS TRANSITING THE HOUSES

The Mars transit will be going through Taurus. If you have Taurus on the 1st house, this is a personal transit of Mars for you. In the first house it indicates a more assertive position, almost taking a promotional stance. There may be traveling or more determination of movement and a little Mars disruption here and there. Basically, it is all about moving forward and promoting your Taurus ascendant. This can be an excellent time to move or look for a new job. Taurus on the 1st will square (challenge) TS in Leo in the 4th house of home, indicating challenges arising from the home and long held belief systems.

Taurus on the second house leads us on a path to redefine our values. What is it that you hold dear? Now is the time you will find out. Mars through the second wants you to decide on what means the most to you. There will be value judgments everywhere. These will be personal values that deal with your finances and love. Taurus on the 2nd will challenge TS positioned in your 5th house of creativity and children, testing previously held judgments and ideals in relation to your own creativity, children and love affairs.

Taurus on the third house asks us to redevelop your community and communications. You may find yourself moving or your job changing addresses. Communications or how you communicate will be up for adjustment. Short distance travel may become a steady venue for a while. As Mars transits this position it will challenge TS in the 6th house of daily work matters and/or health issues.

Taurus on the fourth house makes references to our deepest core issues. What do we really want? This can be an interesting question when we apply it to every decision we need to make. This Mars transit will test these core issues and open you to new challenges from TS in the Leo in the 7th house of partnership. There will be concerns dealing with partnership matters and direct dealings with the public.

Taurus on the Fifth house has the ability to define our creativity. To create is to experience the gift of imagination. What do we create in our lives? Love! Children! Art! Whatever your answer is, the Mars transit will position you in the direction of creative change by challenging your 8th house of partnership resources and other people’s money. I say partnership resources but the eighth house is loaded with money but just not yours.

Taurus on the Sixth house will examine every day work matters and any concerns that arise about health. You may experience challenges in your work application or confront matters concerning your daily health. Pets also fall into this category. This position will challenge the ideas and philosophies that support your everyday work and health from TS in the 9th house. Look for conflict to arise in perceptions of and philosophy about your daily work.

Taurus on the Seventh house reveals challenges to partnership, personal or business, or a consummate connection to the general public. Patience and understanding are virtues I would keep handy. Try remembering how much you have changed and in what direction. This placement will challenge all 4 angles of your chart and demonstrate new needs and developing desires. Mars in this position will be strong as it is an angle and signifies challenges your 10th house of career and 4th house of home and last but not least 1st house of personality or appearance. Basically all four angles come into play.

Taurus on the Eighth house will definitely concern other people’s money or partnership funds. Issues that deal with money, especially other peoples, at times tend to be a little testy. On the other hand, this can mean money in your pocket. In this case only the Shadow knows. Realistically, this will challenge your 11th house of goals, hopes and wishes. Financial needs and your desire to achieve certain goals will have to stand the tests and challenges it takes to achieve them. Abstractly, you may be considering how to create more finances.

Taurus on the Ninth house will challenge any circumstances that deal with situations at a distance, education, or legal matters. Your philosophy of life will be confronted and you may need to make changes if they are not user-friendly. This usually will challenge issues of the 12th house as that is where TS will be. Keep in mind that with TS in the 12th you are doing a deep cleansing on a spiritual level. Developments or challenges to your philosophy will be evident as Mars progresses through the 9th house. The issues may include foreign affairs or legal matters or even educational plans. This is a time to work through your thoughts.

Taurus on the Tenth house challenges your new persona. Actually, it challenges the status quo in career or your ability to grow and develop in the world. Taurus on the 10th house usually puts Leo on the 1st with TS challenging the 10th house. Career issues will be seen as challenging due to the perception you acquire of the new you. TS on the Ascendant or 1st house describes the new you and possibly new career goals.

Taurus on the Eleventh house gives rise to challenging your goals. Are you going in the right direction? Sometimes, even when you have a plan, it doesn’t feel personal or something may be missing. This will have some strong influences on the TS in Leo your 2nd house of personal finances and values. This transit of Mars will bring your goals into focus and help you redefine your goals to accomplish what you want.

Taurus on the Twelfth house may have you staring at the past smack dab in the eye. Dealing with subconscious drives and/or spiritual uniqueness can be beneficial at this time. This is an excellent time for therapy. This mars transit of the 12th house has many opportunities, one being preparing for the minute mars goes over the Ascendant and transits the 1st house. TS will be in Leo on the 3rd house and redefine your immediate environment as well as communications with your community. This will be a time of preparation and decision but most will happen behind the scenes when everything will be in the planning stages.

The above is just a simple guide to help you through this interesting time. It is based on charts that have no interceptions. If you are a bit crafty you will be able to describe you personal challenges to this TS by just finding Leo, and Taurus in your natal chart. I must add there that if you have planets in Scorpio and Aquarius the more driven you will be and the more difficult for you to make the changes that are asked of you, because of your strong mind set.

Mars in the Soil
Another event of considerable astrological importance this year is that Mars (the action planet) moves into Taurus, an Earth sign, in late July and, due to retrograde (backwards) motion from October to December, spends over 6 months in the earthy sign of soils and smells of the land. Taurus rules money, values, livestock, agriculture, farming and property. Big arguments about agricultural practices, genetic engineering, the money system and the state of the Earth's ecosystem will be the focus of much anguish and perhaps even direct action or violence at times.
Decisive community moves will be made to change things. To add to this upheaval, Jupiter in intense Scorpio squares Saturn in Leo at the end of the year. The last time of a major Jupiter/Saturn square was the 1986 explosion at Chernobyl and the subsequent nuclear fallout. Then too, Jupiter was in Water and Saturn in a Fire sign. http://www.astrologycom.com/2005yearahead.html

Hmm...It's going to be in my 8th, and 9th houses, then. Evenutally, conjunct my Mercury.

I'm liking this transit much more than the Saturn one. Yay. Uranus is causing me problems, though. It's conjunct my Venus right now. GR!

Can't wait until Mars enters Taurus, for some reason I'm gladly welcoming changes this year. Bring it on!

I will have Mars and all it's glory in my 11th house (natal Sun in the 11th) and yep Leo in the second house too (natal moon in the 2nd). Woo Hoo!

Oh and I will have Mars sextile Venus... Yay!

Running bull, I just googled "transiting mars sextile venus" and found this... http://www.star4cast.com/ThreeMonth_Example.asp

Transiting Mars Sextile Venus
You have a positively passionate enthusiasm for almost everything in life but your romantic life should particularly benefit. You are throwing all your energy and libido into expressing your feelings with force and depth. Pleasuring yourself comes high on your list of priorities so you are seeking out fun companions and wholehearted workmates. Extravagances, indulgences and excesses are likely in all the luxury areas of life.

Hmm sounds great, but watch your waistline
