Mars opposing Chiron brings your wound into the relational field. The sensitivity does not just simmer internally. It shows up between you and someone else.
With the opposition the hurt tends to arrive through other people. Someone says something that lands on the exact sore spot. A situation arises that mirrors an old pattern of rejection or inadequacy you thought you had processed. Mars adds heat to the wound and the instinct is to lash out or defend.
The healing opportunity here is in the quality of your response. If you can stay present with the pain rather than converting it to anger you learn something about the wound that purely internal work does not reveal. Other people are not trying to hurt you during this transit. They are accidentally touching the place that is already tender.
What you might notice: Sensitivity triggered by something another person says or does. Defensive reactions that feel disproportionate. Old patterns of hurt resurfacing through relationship dynamics. The choice between lashing out and staying open.
