♂ ☌ ⚷︎ Mars conjunct Chiron

Mars conjunct Chiron is a natal aspect where your drive, desire and courage fuse with the old wound and the healing wisdom that Chiron represents. It means your energy for action often grows out of a place that once hurt, so your anger, passion or determination can carry real insight about what needs mending. Because the two planets act as one, you may feel a strong pull to fight for what you care about while also feeling sensitive to the very issues that first made you bleed.
