To Do During Transit Chiron Conjunct Mars

• Face old anger or frustration , This is a good time to look at any old wounds connected to anger, action, or how you stand up for yourself (from Essence and Application: A View from Chiron, Zane B Stein). Try not to run from these feelings. Let them come up, so you can understand where they’re coming from.
• Work on healing physical and emotional energy , If you’ve ever gotten hurt (physically or emotionally) while trying to be assertive or take action, now is the time to work on those injuries (Chiron and the Healing Journey, Melanie Reinhart).
• Experiment with healthy ways to express anger , Don’t bottle it up, but also don’t let it explode unchecked. Try to find outlets like creative activities, movement, or even talking it out (Chiron and the Healing Journey).
• Set boundaries and stand up for yourself , Test out being more assertive in a gentle, Chiron-kind-of-way. Notice what happens when you stand up for yourself. If it feels hard, that’s what you’re supposed to work on now (Rainbow Bridge Between the Inner & Outer Planets, Barbara Hand Clow).
• Explore your relationship to power and assertion , Notice how you go after what you want. If you’re too aggressive or too timid, pay attention. This is a great moment for re-balancing that energy (Chiron and the Healing Journey).
• Heal from wounds around taking action , If you’ve ever felt ashamed for not acting fast enough, or gotten hurt for being too bold, try to forgive yourself. Use this time to talk about past events if you need to (Essence and Application).
• Channel energy into something meaningful , Start a physical project, take up a new sport, or direct Mars energy into activism, helping others, or standing up for a cause (Rainbow Bridge).
• Notice themes of injury and healing in your body , This can be a moment when old injuries flair up. Take care of your physical body, and notice if there’s an emotional root to any pain (Chiron and the Healing Journey).
• Try methods like bodywork, martial arts, or movement therapy , Activities that connect healing and physical energy are super helpful during this time (Chiron and the Healing Journey).
• Be gentle with yourself , This transit can bring up some vulnerable stuff. It’s okay to feel raw. Be patient, take breaks, and don’t expect yourself to get it all right immediately (Essence and Application).

Experiencing Transit Chiron Conjunct Mars

When Chiron moves across your natal Mars, you’re in for some deep stuff around anger, drive, and how you assert yourself. Mars is all about energy, action, your urge to get things done, and sometimes anger or frustration. With Chiron involved, it’s like someone’s poking a wound you didn’t know you had, usually around how you express yourself or go after what you want.

This transit often brings up memories or situations where you’ve felt either powerless, rejected for being too assertive, or scared to go after what you want. Maybe when you were younger, someone shut down your enthusiasm or you got in trouble for being “too much.” Those themes tend to bubble up now, sometimes in obvious ways, sometimes in subtle feelings or dreams.

People going through this transit can feel like their normal way of getting things done just… doesn’t work. It’s frustrating! You might doubt yourself, worry that you’re being too aggressive, or feel like you lost your “edge.” There can also be physical stuff, old injuries flaring up, or just feeling out of step with your own energy levels. Sometimes you overdo it; other times you can barely get moving.

But all this isn’t here to torture you, it’s showing you where your “Mars” side needs healing. According to Melanie Reinhart, it’s a call to listen to your wounds instead of just powering through them like usual. Zane B Stein points out that this is a chance to figure out what you’ve always been fighting for, and to see if those battles are still worth it.

Challenges During Transit Chiron Conjunct Mars

• Frustration and Anger: It’s easy to get triggered during this transit. You might feel like everyone’s pushing your buttons or that the world is stopping you from getting what you want. There’s a risk of lashing out, or, swinging the other way, feeling too scared to act at all.
• Old Wounds Resurfacing: You could end up facing old embarrassments or times when your confidence was squashed. Maybe you remember a teacher who insulted your abilities, or a relationship where you felt powerless. These memories can sting, but they’re here for a reason.
• Feeling Ineffective or Weak: Trying to push through things like you usually do might just not work, making you question your strength or even your purpose. This can lead to second-guessing yourself a lot more than usual.
• Physical Symptoms: Sometimes old sports injuries or accidents show up again, Chiron loves to use the body to get your attention!

Opportunities During Transit Chiron Conjunct Mars

• Healing Your Inner Warrior: If you’ve always struggled with anger or drive, this is your chance to see where that comes from. According to Barbara Hand Clow, this transit helps you find new, less self-destructive ways to express yourself.
• Learning Assertiveness Without Aggression: Instead of just plowing ahead, you can learn when to hold back and when to act. You might discover gentler ways to ask for what you want, or realize you don’t need to “win” every conflict.
• Integrating Past Experiences: By feeling those wounds and looking at the stories you tell yourself, you can finally let go of some old pain, and stop it from running your life. This is about turning the stuff you’re most ashamed of into a source of wisdom.
• Creative Redirection of Energy: If you allow yourself to experiment, you might find new creative outlets, sports, or even causes that use your Mars energy in ways that feel healing and meaningful. Maybe you volunteer for something you care about, or learn a new discipline that channels aggression constructively.
