Building Blocks to the Libra New Moon
Mars opposite Chiron

| Wounded Human |
The Moon is in her Balsamic stage, the last sextile in the closing (waning) phase.
With Chiron in Aries, we have been facing the threat to life on Earth and the risk of extinction. Around the world, people have been protesting for the right to BE, for the right to EXIST, for the right to express themselves, and their bodies to occupy a space. Considering the rest of the Astrological Chart these days, we can expect not only those protests to continue, but the situation to heat up a notch or two.
Last time Mars was opposite Chiron, October 8, 2019, it was square the Cancer Capricorn Nodal Axis. Without even us knowing, there was a Damocles Sword hovering over our head. Leaders of the World were already discussing and planning about the Pandemic in the little publicized Event 201 in NY City. It was not until later in the Mars Chiron cycle, in fact, at the last (waning) quarter square on February 21, that we realized how survival depended on the shelter of the home (Cancer NN) and the required social security (Capricorn SN).
This time around, Mars is with Mercury and the Sun in Libra about to exactly conjoin a New Moon. During the period of his opposition to Chiron (3º before and after), three new synodic cycles start almost at the same time. Moon Sun, Mars Sun and Mercury Sun. All of them will be infused with the wound of Chiron.
As the ruler of Chiron, the opposition of Mars in Libra with the Sun can be aggressive to say the least. In any case, we may see 'wounded warriors' in many places. Not only will those protesters be more determined and assertive defending their rights and need to be recognized, as 'different' or with unique needs as they might be considered.
However, Mars in Libra may need to find a compromise in order to preserve life (Aries). People are now waking up to the fact that there is an urgent need to change human behaviour at all levels of the human activity if we are to survive. In the interconnected world where we live, everything one does affects everything and everyone else. Mars in Libra asks us to reflect on how our actions impact others before acting.
Uranus in Taurus in quincunx could actually trigger the challenge through even more spectacular natural catastrophes. Mother Earth is mad. She is bursting open in so many places, vomiting her magmatic anger and indignation. Cumbre Vieja in the Canary Islands, Etna in Italy, are the most publicized volcanoes these days, but there have been dozens of eruptions worldwide lately.
What can you do to decrease Mother Earth pain?
In our personal lives, Mars in Libra may represent a person or situation that, intentionally or not, stirs our deepest Chironic wound, and throws us into an emotional breakdown. However, we can use this opportunity to sit with the suffering and study it intentionally, asking what it is, why it hurts, where it comes from. Then, we may find a way out, and the eventual healing process can be initiated.
