Transit Mars Opposition Natal Chiron

Desire moves quickly while an old tenderness flares. Mars opposite Chiron can make simple friction feel like a reopening, as if the present carries the weight of what came before. It asks you to act, but to let the action include care for the place that still aches.

When Mars faces Chiron, the body remembers before the mind catches up. You might feel a hot edge of anger, only to discover grief or shame beneath it, an old story of not being defended or of having to defend too soon. Small conflicts take on larger meaning because they echo earlier battles, and the nervous system tries to make sure you won’t be hurt again. The impulse is to strike, prove, or run; the deeper longing is to be met where it hurt and still be respected.

Working with this transit means letting anger be a compass, not a weapon. Slow the scene enough to name what the heat points to: a boundary, a need, an unspoken memory. When you act from that clarity, force becomes focused and proportionate, and protection includes connection. This is the craft of the warrior-healer: to move forward without abandoning the part of you that once needed saving.
