Aspects
Chiron Sextile Mars
Mars A friendly, opportunity-shaped aspect between planets about 60 degrees apart. It offers help you have to reach for rather than receive automatically. Chiron offers a workable channel between your drive and the wounded-healer gift, so chances to grow through and act on your own hurt keep arising. The opportunity asks you to take it up. The shadow is letting it pass. The growth is actively reclaiming healthy desire and using it to help. At your best you steadily turn your own struggle with anger and will into courage for others.
Lean in — Reach for the chances to heal and help through this.
Watch for — Let the opening to heal pass by unused.
- drive and desire
- wound
