The Wounded Me

"I am who I am"
Chiron in Aries represents 'a profound loss or lack of self-worth' (Martin Lass), the internalization of a deep sense of unworthiness and the perception of being rejected, or abandoned in the world. There are core feelings of not having the right to exist, to occupy the body, or disowning the personal material reality of the self. As a consequence, Chiron in Aries looks for his or her self identity. (Read the
Myth of Chiron)
The Mars Chiron conjunction in Aries is doubly significant given the fact that Mars is the ruler of the Sign, thus rules over Chiron's archetype in that Sign. The conjunction aspect is one of joining forces, the initiatory energy of Mars and the hypersensitivity of Chiron. The conjunction is also intensified by the fact that happens at 15º, the central one of the Sign of Aries, where the deepest integration of the Arian energies and processes occur. The 15º symbolizes the key signification of the Sign, and further emphasizes the search of identity because it occupies the Leo decan.
Mars exacerbates the vulnerability of Chiron archetype. In the collective, events and situations may threaten our very existence. Either, natural catastrophes, the cloud of sickness and hunger, or the threat of war can put the very existence of human beings in danger. Because the actions of human beings have disturbed the natural ecological balance of our planet, the fury of the elements fall upon all forms of life.
Mars is associated with fire, fevers, illness, pests, violence and war. Since the Mars opposition to Chiron on October 8th, 2019, fires have ravaged huge extensions of land. Then, on October 1, 2021 the opposition saw the volcano eruption in Cumbre Vieja, La Palma of Canary Islands, and fires in Greece among other places as well as cyclones in Middle East and devastating flooding in China. The previous conjunction happened on July 14, 2020 when multiple fires were burning as well. By then, the Atlantic Hurricane Storm season had exhausted the 21-name list.
In our personal lives, Mars can manifest in two ways. The conjunction can generate enough impulse to take action regarding the 'wounding' issue we suffer in the house of Aries, or can trigger a violent reaction against it. The lower vibration may create impulsive situations of anger or aggression, while becoming the trigger we need in order to understand the true dimension of our human fragility, vulnerability. One could also escape the suffering by projecting it onto an-other and trying to heal the 'other', or teach the other alternative methods of healing.
If one escapes the pain of the soul though, it often appears in the physical body as a sudden accident, a physical ailment or inflammation, usually caused by a surge of uncontrollable energy looking for an issue. The pain may become so extreme that the temptation to run away from it could be strong. However this extra energy could be useful in the healing if channeled appropriately. You are challenged to assume your vulnerability, to realize that you are not omnipotent, that not being in control is part of our nature, and that finding out who you are is the work of a lifetime. If you are to survive, you may need to accept and respect your personal fragility, and recognize that is up to you to protect it and define your Self in spite of the imperfections, failures, and even deformities.
In which way your sense of vulnerability and of unworthiness sabotage your own identity, existence, and ultimately your own life? The motto of this aspect is 'my life matters'. The question Chiron ask to Mars is 'can I do it?' Mars responds, 'You can do it now!'
