Aspects
Chiron Opposition Mars
Mars opposite Chiron sets your drive and desire against an old wound, so the hurt around asserting yourself shows up through others, in conflict, competition, and how people meet your will. The gift is seeing the wound reflected and owning your right to act anyway. The shadow is provoking or avoiding conflict to manage an ache that is yours, or blaming others for it. The growth is asserting yourself as a whole person. At your best the very clashes that triggered the wound become where it heals.
Lean in — Own the wound you see reflected in others around drive and desire.
Watch for — Blame others for an ache that is yours to heal.
