Alright, let’s talk about this whole Mars in Taurus, 8th house thing. I got curious about this astrology stuff, and decided to give it a shot, see what all the fuss is about.
First, I started reading everything I could find about Mars, Taurus, and the 8th house. Mars is all about action and energy. Taurus, that’s about stability, practicality, and sensual stuff. And the 8th house? Well, that’s where things get a bit deep – transformation, shared resources, intimacy, all that jazz. It sounds like a weird mix, right?
So, I began tracking how I felt and acted each day. I made notes about my energy levels, my motivations, and my interactions with people, especially around shared resources and intimate moments. I was basically turning into a human lab rat, observing myself.
- Day 1-7: I started noticing that I was feeling a bit lazy, like I was stuck in mud. I wanted to start new projects, but I kept hitting this wall of self-doubt. Was I even capable of achieving anything big? It felt like I was pushing a boulder uphill, only for it to roll back down.
- Day 8-14: Then, I started focusing on my finances. I usually avoid dealing with shared finances, but I decided to tackle it head-on. I sat down with my partner, and we went through our budget, talked about our financial goals, and even made some joint investments. It was surprisingly…good. We felt more connected, more like a team.
- Day 15-21: This period was all about introspection. I started digging deep, exploring my fears and desires. I journaled like crazy, trying to make sense of my inner world. I realized that I had a lot of hidden fears about my own worthiness. My sex life improved because I was also more willing to be open about my fantasies. We started to try new things in bed.
- Day 22-30: With all this self-awareness, I started feeling more…assertive. I was still taking things slow, thanks to that Taurus influence, but I was more determined to go after what I wanted. I even started a side hustle, something I had been dreaming about for years. I was tired of waiting to do the things I love.
My biggest realization? I tend to be passive-aggressive, like many people with this astrological placement. I don’t always confront things directly. Instead, I let things build up, and then I explode. Not the best way to handle things, I know. I started working on being more direct and honest in my communication, even when it’s uncomfortable.
Conclusion
This whole experiment was a real eye-opener. I’m not saying astrology is the answer to everything, but it did give me a framework to understand myself better. It helped me see my patterns, my strengths, and my weaknesses. I’m still a work in progress, but I feel like I’m on a better path now, a path of self-discovery and growth.
If you’re curious about astrology, I’d say give it a try. It might surprise you. Just remember, it’s a tool, not a magic wand. You still have to put in the work. But hey, it can be a pretty interesting journey!
