RESULTS OF THE PLACEMENT OF MARS IN TAURUS
If Mangala is placed in Vrishabha, then the person will receive only a little happiness from wealth and home (there will be little wealth and a small dwelling), many enemies; he will live in another's house and be oppressed by his son.
Commentary: If Mangala [Mars] in the Rashi Vrishabha [the sign Taurus] is under a favourable influence, then this is an excellent combination for obtaining wealth and property. Such a person is often successful in his aims. He has no feeling of helplessness or failure even in very unfavourable circumstances. In the end he will attain success thanks to practicality, foresight, hope, the ability to lead and a strong wish to obtain a result. If such a Mangala [Mars] receives an unfavourable influence, then the person will be exceedingly stubborn, impetuous in everything, with an irritable character, irrational, and on occasion is not shy of using violence.

MARS IN TAURUS
Mars calms down and becomes grounded. It is the sign of Venus, but in Taurus, especially if the Sun is strong, sexuality is not so plainly visible. He may express sexual energy in work, in activity, in creativity. He does not court much or make advances; there is no youthful ardour. But if he has taken a great liking to someone, then he courts very beautifully; such a person will fly to the one he loves at the end of the earth. Such people are a little closed. There may be good speech, a good appetite, practical abilities, an ability to count money, kindness of heart, success in business, stability in relationships.
If Venus too is in Taurus, then it is said that such a person will be a warrior and a gambler. There may be problems with the throat, tumours on the skin, boils.
«My husband has Mars in Taurus — he courted me very beautifully».
«Mars in Taurus (a woman) in the 11th house — she made acquaintances many times herself. She flew to her husband in another country. Constant problems with the throat. No voice». (Rami Blekt)
