Aspects
Chiron Conjunction Mars
Mars conjunct Chiron fuses your drive, anger, and desire with an old wound, often a deep hurt around the right to want, to assert, or to be angry. Action and the ache are inseparable. The gift is an intimate understanding of the wounds around power and will, so you can help others reclaim their fire. The shadow is a raw hurt that swings between suppressed rage and explosive assertion. The growth is reclaiming healthy desire and anger without apology. At your best your own hard-won courage helps others find theirs.
Lean in — Build drive and desire through the wound, not around avoiding it.
Watch for — Treat the old hurt as the whole of this part of you.
