Mars Chiron Conjunction in Aries - The Wounded Me

 The Wounded Me

Pablo Picasso, Toile, 1951

"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. 

Alice Wellinger, Painter, Finding Your Identity

    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!'

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.

Daily Transits - September 25, 2021

Building Blocks to the New Moon in Libra

On the Fence, not seeing eye to eye

There is an important trio in Libra. The Sun is travelling close with Mars preparing to conjoin forces and start a new synodic cycle on October 7, a day after the Libra New Moon. Mercury stationed to retrograde on September 27, sustains a potent square to Pluto, who is also stationed to turn direct on October 6.

 These are potent positions for the Libra trio. Your mind is agitated, you are eager to speak and deal with any relationship because you ‘smell something fishy’. You could be suspicious, have difficulty trusting others or incline to coerce the ‘other’ to obtain what you want. In dealings and trade, you may be the victim of frustrating secret manipulations. 

 At the public and collective level, you have worrying thoughts about environmental hazards, global problems that may affect your finances. In fact, now that inflation is generalized in most places of the world, anything can happen, considering not only that Venus is opposite Uranus, but she is also in mutual reception with Mars, and is the ruler of the next New Moon in Libra. 

 One crisis after another, Pluto is demolishing all the institutional structures of the establishment, and will continue to do so for several years, as the Saturn Pluto synodic cycle moves on. Mars trine Saturn today ensuring that your energy is used efficiently and in a disciplined order. You are working hard and seriously, going one step at a time and watching the clock. Saturn wants things done on time and with a high level of integrity and responsibility. 

 At the same time the Sun and Mars are forming and Grand Trine with the North Node at 3º, harmonizing your hard work with the direction you’re heading on to. You are full of Air energy focused on your social connections, working online, making friends, using technology, sending text messages or emails, and probably keeping informed on the subjects that interest you.
