How To Tell If a Mars in Taurus Man or Woman Is Into You

Mars in Taurus is not obvious about his or her attraction, at first. There’s a waiting period, and you may end up assuming that Taurus is simply not that into you. But before you give up and walk away, know that Mars in Taurus is not playing games. Your patience may be rewarded with a steadfast lover who makes pleasure their top priority.

The Evaluation Phase

Mars in Taurus zeros in on who is best for her, and whose values are most complementary to hers. But even if she thinks you’re the hottest thing ever, she’s not likely to chase after you right away. Taurus is a Fixed Earth sign, which means she’s cautious, and concerned with survival and personal resources. She’ll take some time to evaluate you and ensure that you’re available. She’s not a risk-taker, and she’s not going to disrupt her comfortable life with someone who doesn’t want what she wants. Therefore, she may have her eye on you for quite awhile before she makes her move.

While Taurus is in his evaluation phase, the absolute worst thing you can do is push. It’s fine to signal your interest (it’s advisable, actually) but do it once and leave it at that. Despite his self-contained vibe, he’s not oblivious, and he’ll pick up on your signals. A guaranteed way to shut him down is to continually fire invitations at him, or pester him with texts/emails. This is not a case of him being shy and needing an aggressive partner to make the first move. Let him know he stands a chance with you, and then allow him to take control. That means waiting until he decides he’s ready. If you try to take that control away, he will shut you out for good. At this juncture, you’re probably thinking, “Why should I wait? I don’t have time for this!” If that’s your attitude, then Mars in Taurus is not the lover for you. You will always be waiting for him. Things move at his pace, or they don’t move at all.

How long does this evaluation period last? It varies, but use common sense (which is what Taurus uses). Mars in Taurus is practical, and she won’t drag things out forever. If months go by and nothing’s happening, it’s safe to assume that she’s decided you’re not the one for her. If she’s interested, she’ll quietly but obviously make a move by suggesting the two of you do something together. There will be no guesswork about her intentions. A first date will probably involve food and a cozy night in, or maybe a walk outside (no high-octane sports adventures though). She’ll demonstrate ways that she can make you comfortable and happy (by cooking for you, or giving you a neck rub). But these things will be what she wants to do. If they don’t appeal to you, know that Mars in Taurus is all about developing what works for her. By the way, she prefers deliberate physical contact over words. Her silence is not a bad thing at all, but if she stops touching you, something’s amiss.

If Mars in Taurus has made her move, know that you’re almost in. She’s on the verge of sticking around. Remember that evaluation period? You’re in the final stage. But she needs proof before she decides to share herself with you. There’s no point in twisting yourself into someone you think she’ll want — Mars in Taurus has a nose for inauthenticity. Just be yourself. At this point, deal-breakers might include major clashes between your values/lifestyle and her values/lifestyle.

Unwavering

Although nothing is guaranteed, if Mars in Taurus comes back after the second or third date, it’s a safe assumption that he’ll keep coming back. His actions are based on set routines that benefit him, and you’re now part of his routine.

Sex is important to Mars in Taurus. He excels at physical expression, but like everything else, he won’t rush it. Here is a lover who enjoys the slow buildup. Pleasure is a part of his life that he will not compromise, which is great news if you’re looking for a sensual partner. However, don’t expect anything too adventurous in the bedroom; Mars in Taurus knows exactly what works for him, and he’ll stick to it. His approach is earthy, direct, and basic. Sex (and anything that’s pleasurable, be it good food or a comfy bed) doesn’t involve analysis, refinement or guilt. If it feels good, he’s there. If you feel good to him, all you have to do (to maintain his interest) is keep being you. There’s no hoops to jump through, and no constant treadmill of improvement. However, if you’ve hooked up with someone who’s not working with a fully developed Mars in Taurus, it’s possible that he may only be interested in the sexual act. This is Taurus’ grounding in the physical world, taken to an extreme.

The joy of the Mars in Taurus partner is that you can count on her. Her actions are decisive, although it may take her a while to get going. Once she’s committed to a course, she will not stop until she’s reached her goal. But if she doesn’t want to do something, she won’t budge, and you won’t be able to convince her otherwise. She’s a subjective sign, so all her actions are motivated by their impact on her. Yes, this can make her selfish, but it also means she’s calm, confident and patient. She’s capable of getting angry, but you’ll have to keep poking her with a sharp stick to trigger her rage (which can be quite intimidating when it’s finally released).[/show_to]

    My ex had hus Moon and Jupiter in Taurus (8H) and the above applied verbatim to him. And with my progressed Moon currently in Taurus (conjunct my natal Jupiter/progressed Jupiter until November), the above also applies to me.

    Taurus is a magnificent sign when it comes to cultivating a strong sense of self-worth. It also teaches you to hold out for the absolute best you believe you deserve (and perhaps even elevates your status). All eyes on you, Mr Clooney.

    What about when a man’s mars in taurus is opposite pluto in scorpio?

    I have dated two with these placements & both with Mars in 4th opp Pluto in 10th

    Hi, Nadia! I love this post!
    Of course, I am a Mars in Taurus woman. but I meet also some Mars in Taurus men.
    Very truth what you said here.
    I really wish people knew more about astrology and it’s own signs (and natal charts). Life would be so much simpler!

    @Tessa
    Mr. Clooney is a fine example. 🙂 Although technically he has Mars in Leo, he’s still a wonderful personification of male Taurus energy.

    @Glitter
    Pluto amplifies Mars in Taurus’ controlling tendencies. Sex and possession can take on life or death undertones (in the heart of the Mars person).

    Great article! Charlize Theron has Mars in Taurus and I am not at all sure that her choice of womanizing/divorcee Sean Penn is in her best interests. I guess that’s why you have to add up all the elements.

    That’s what I meant as well.

    And I’m not sure that anyone except Charlize knows what’s in her best interests. 🙂

    As an Aries Sun woman with a strong Mars-Mercury-Moon stellium in the V house, growing up in Italy surrounded by wannabe machos was both nerve-wrecking and hilarious. I moved out of the country as soon as I could and I’m considering moving to Scandinavia. I just can’t stand being chirpsed !!

    Stellium and V house in Taurus, of course 🙂

    Hi,

    This description is myself completely. I’m a Female Taurus Sun and Venus, Mars and Mercury in Gemini, Ascendent Leo, ACS Node in Aries, Moon in Pisces.

    If I’m rushed; I stay away from u and never look back, to include if u try and take control of me, or tell me what I can and can’t do. I do allot of analysis and/or evaluations of people, and like to take my time in getting to know someone, or considering a relationship. I take things extremely slow and I’m not one to rush into anything.

    What a great article! I am talking to a woman right now with this, which kind of contradicts her Sag Sun and Cap Merc and Venus. It’s so weird she was sick for 4 days and never spoke to me about it but has been texting me everyday, same time periods, same kind of phrasing, flirty, serious interest. She got sick again last Thursday night while we were talking she was at work and told me she was feeling ill and weak. I will be 4 days tmr since she hit me up. I am not sure what to do. She seems really interested and I don’t want to annoy her either so I haven’t texted her since Thursday night. Is this her studying me and seeing how I react? It’s just odd she can’t hit me up when she is sick at all. But maybe that is my Mars in Leo speaking haha.
