Where have you lost your temper and how was it spectacular? Or, if you have been on the receiving end - just how much of a spectacle was it?

I can't think of one specific example right now - but I have Mars in Taurus and in the 2nd house - and I'm very tolerant (despite all the Aries in my chart) and am very slow to anger, but when I do - wow - look out. I even stamp my foot like a bull about to charge. It's hilarious, I suppose, from an outsider view. But then, when I start - I can't stop. I can hear what I'm saying and I can see how I'm behaving - but that's it - it's in motion and it's not going to stop - and the momentum has built. It makes me think of the line, "be afraid, be very afraid". Because most people just see the light side to me - because I'm really breezy in day-to-day life, only those really close know that I'm very passionate and intense - so when this side emerges - which is rare anyway - it really stuns people.

I once lost it big style with my sister because she kept clicking her nails together which she knows I hate and goaded me by saying "temper temper" in a really quiet and sinister voice. I was about 13. So I tried to get away but she blocked the door so I grabbed the nearest object (a plate of fried chicken) and frisbeed it at her head, fully intending to kill her. She ducked and said "haha" and the plate hit the newly-installed double-glazed patio doors (see below) that my Dad (also a Taurus Mars) had just put in. They smashed into a zillion pieces as I managed to hit them on a corner. My mum went nuts. But not as nuts as I'd been. Fully insane.

An adjunct to my story is this one:
Taurus Mars Dad got sick of my mum's nagging and threw a sledgehammer through the window that we had before the patio doors after she goaded him too far (patio doors had arrived 2 years earlier mind, but a Bull can't be rushed) and said "Well I'll have to f&%"*ing do them now won't I?"

You just made me think of something when you said the clicking of the nails. I'm fairly slow to anger but, like most people, I have my pet hates - and they agitate me immediately - even if I don't lose it - and I suppose this is very Taurus Mars. I can't stand to listen to people chewing their food. It drives me nuts. Just as much - is listening to people gulp/swallow their drinks (or coffee slurping, either). I become immediately aggravated.

Ummm, I went out with this Scorpio once. We were both 17. I didn't really fancy him but didn't know any different. He tried all kinds of tactics to get me to sleep with him.

New Years Eve 1991. I'd been at his house all day and he'd been at me and at me and he wasn't getting anywhere (Bulls can't be rushed, no-one's forcing me into giving up my virginity, no way, no how). This started to annoy the crap out of me, in a quiet way. He made the fatal error of taking a call from another girl in private and shutting the door behind him (later turned out it was a tactic to get me jealous and I knew that, he wasn't as clever as he thought, stoopid Grey Lizard). Anyway, so you can imagine the atmosphere...

We go out to a club. He looks 21 but is only 17. I am 17 and look 13. He gets into the club and I don't. He goes in without me. For half an hour. Comes out looking like he's done nothing. I am FREEZING in my little dress and heels. He laughs at me like I am being ridiculous. He turns around to go back inside and I kicked him as hard as I could in the arse.

I am 13 miles away from home, I am wearing heels but nevertheless I am so furious I stamp all the way there crying and raging in the pitch black.

I never spoke to him again.

12 years later when he decides to drop me a friendly email I am still angry.

We're friends now, we email every week, but he had to work at it. Took about 2 years. Bless.

Noisy eaters, well, I can't bear it PA. I think there's something bodily about the irritations of Mars in Taurus people, I realised it yesterday. All mine are related to the body/personal space. Anyone else's?

LOL wheels - that is really slow to bury the hatchet. I think it's more my Aqua Moon but when I let go of someone, I let them go forever. I don't and would never - have exes as friends. That you walked in your high heels all the way home - that is so me - I'm like that too. Digging in the heels. Actually - speaking of which - I have found myself, in conversation, actually physically digging my toes into the ground, shoes as I speak - so literally digging in and being stubborn. And Mars in Taurus is incredibly stubborn.

I'm so glad that others (regardless of sign placement) get that about the food thing. Man, I ****ing hate that - it drives me bonkers. My husband is phenomenal for it and it just irritates me no end.

Yes, I hate people in my space too. I'm very affectionate and I like the physicality of affection and touching - but it's personal - so there has to be an established friendship or relationship there - otherwise it's a violation of space and body.

Another one is when someone calls me by an affectionate nickname and I either 1. don't really know the person or 2. don't like them. Nicknames are affectionate and personal.

So, yes, invasion of bodily space is very Mars Taurus.

Oh - I can't go without mentioning this. Erogenous zone - the neck. And my favourite physical characteristic in a man is his voice. That's something I notice immediately about people. I can't stand shrill, high voices - in women, but in men a zillion times worse.

When I did my driving test the man testing me had this really high pitched voice and every time he corrected me or commented it became funnier and funner, until right at the end, when I thought I had failed - I just burst out laughing - I couldn't hold it anymore. I just wanted him to shut up the whole time. After I got the car back to the motor registry he asked me why I was laughing. Which made it worse because he had spoken again. I left the registry in fits of laughter - and as a qualified driver - somehow.

With the neck thing - when you get sick - is your voice/throat the first thing to go?

I've been sick this week and have lost my voice - which I have found suits me fine because I didn't realise just how much energy I expend when I talk. It's just starting to come back so it's really raspy and breaks up a lot - pretty much like the pre-pubescant teenager who works in the Krusty Burger joint in The Simpsons (if you're a fan). The upside to it - well a couple - I don't have to converse with people I'd rather not - when I run into them around town but the other is singing. Singing should be something I'm good at (but as well as Mars in Taurus I have Saturn so I'll blame that) because I just can't sing. Unless I'm sick with no voice - because then I have a perfectly great excuse to slaughter my favourite songs. It's brilliant. I should take up sign language and just not speak to anyone anymore - except in the privacy of the car where I can pretend to be Bono or Robert Plant or Celine Dion (no no just kidding - that went too far - no Celine).

Oh poor you! I bet the voice is sexxxy though! I don't suffer from a loss of voice but when I'm getting a cold something in my neck and upper shoulder goes "ping" and that's it, I've had it. Get a stiff neck and a cold at the same time, always.

Driving in car with neurotic Cancer boyfriend, (at this point been through the wringer with this one) told him something he didn't want to hear to which he responds by attacking one of my very close friends & WHAM....I punched him right in the eye - yes while he was driving. Moral of story, do not discuss your relationship & where it is or isn't headed in a moving car, Mars in Taurus cannot hear your brain screaming noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Happy now PA? (going back to corner...sigh)

I don't know if this is Mars in Taurus - it may be more cheeky Aries Merc but my husband complains that I spend too much time on the computer (so very Moon in Aqua in 11th house) so I've signed up to do a course next year - in IT!!!! It's full time. So I'll be on the computer all the time and if he whinges I can just say I'm studying or doing homework!

Who's a clever girl. Okay - I'm singing praises but it doesn't happen often.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Ah bless his Capi Sun - no match for this Aries girl. Heheheh!
