Mars conjunct Chiron is a tender transit. The planet of assertion lands directly on your deepest wound and whatever healing you have done gets tested.
Chiron represents where you carry a wound that does not fully close but gradually transforms into the ability to help others. Mars arriving here can reopen the sensitivity. You might feel unusually defensive about something that normally does not bother you. Or you might find yourself in a situation that echoes an old hurt with surprising precision.
The gift of this transit is that Mars also provides the courage to address what Chiron holds. If you can stay with the discomfort rather than reacting from the wound you may find that the action Mars prompts actually advances the healing rather than setting it back.
What you might notice: Sensitivity around a familiar sore point. Defensiveness that feels disproportionate to the trigger. The courage to address something painful you have been avoiding. A situation that tests how far your healing has come.
