With Mars strutting about your Capricorn house, you'll likely experience increased drive and ambition. In Capricorn, Mars is a high-powered workaholic who'd choose climbing mountains over a relaxing beach holiday and forgets what "weekend" means half the time. Conjunct that with your composite Ceres in Taurus, and let's just say, chocolate-covered stress balls might be a good investment.

Ceres in Taurus raises the concern about care, nurturing, and matters of sustainability in your relationship. Taurus is quite laid-back. If Taurus were any more laid back, we'd have to water it, honestly. So, are we looking at a focused bull charging forward, or a stubborn goat scaling a mountain? Maybe both.

In this scenario, perhaps you're engaged in a joint venture, or facing a common obstacle at work, or merely devising your monthly shopping list-Capricorn loves a good practical project. Under Mars's influence, your ordinarily "chilling-around-the-pastures" Taurus turns into a "let's-mow-down-the-entire-field for good measure" locomotive. Just remember, folks, while you're ploughing through the field, remember to smell the daisies; though perhaps not all at once!

The square aspect between Mars and Ceres suggests challenge and tension; there will be moments when you will want to take a coasting ride and sip iced tea, but Mars will be yelling, "Pedal faster!". Don't be alarmed, but also remember-though Mars might be the general, Ceres has the provision wagon. Sounds like your next box-set binge might quickly turn into a tactical planning session akin to a Game of Thrones plotline, sans dragons and icy zombies, hopefully.

There is a definite roller-coaster vibe coming in from this transit. The challenge could breed growth, excitement, and productivity. Still, somewhere amidst that, say a little prayer for Taurus's preferred peace and tranquillity. Send it a comforting note: "Hang in there, buddy, this too shall pass, and we'll be back amongst our beloved daisies soon."
