Mars: away game
A direct push is easily slowed by hesitation and accommodation. Brief one key person on the plan today, secure practical support, and only then decide whether to advance.
In detail
Mars: away game is the transit in which Mars occupies Taurus or Libra, its detriment; it operates from ingress to egress, usually about 60 days at roughly half a degree per day, with retrograde motion able to repeat it intermittently. Mars seeks quick decisions and direct advance, while Taurus slows initiation and Libra adds comparison and negotiation, forcing action through patience or relational conditions. Mars: low ebb is more emotionally defensive; away game chiefly obstructs how action starts and lands.
FAQ
- How long does Mars in detriment last?
- It begins when Mars enters Taurus or Libra and ends when Mars leaves that sign. Detriment follows the sign placement and has no independent fixed duration, so exact dates need to be checked in the current ephemeris.
- What should I avoid during Mars in detriment?
- Avoid treating every obstacle as something that must be defeated head on, because action is more easily constrained by inertia, negotiation costs, or another person's position. Progress is still possible, but preparation, a different entry point, or prior support is usually more effective than repeated pressure.
