Semi-Sextile Mars – Chiron
(Transit Mars → Natal Chiron)
Avesalom Podvodny. Aspects
Semi-Sextile Mars: Which planet symbolizes aggression in Martian astrology? This aspect requires a partial shift toward cosmic vibrations of the individual’s personal energy for its realization, which primarily means the subtlety of active actions that appears to contradict the crudeness of earthly reality and brings the person, at a low level of processing, a multitude of troubles not only of a metaphysical nature: resistance to evil is unethical by cosmic standards. However, in the spheres of the Planet, the person will actually have to face not so much external evil as internal evil, and moreover, socially induced, since the person is initially tuned to cosmic energy, incomprehensible and often unacceptable to the collective subconscious. Processing occurs through mastering, comprehending, and internally accepting the cosmic vibrations and cosmic ethics of active actions available to the person, which gradually proves to be a more effective protection against the aggression of the external world than initially expected. However, here, especially with Mars afflicted, it is more difficult to rid oneself of internal aggression toward the world and oneself, both overt and repressed, since the semi-sextile demands sterility and purity in this regard; initially, it is present, but gradually disappears, creating a sense of inner disharmony and rigidity that the person does not quite understand, which is connected to the fact that in this case, they are judged not by humanity but by the Cosmos.
Semi-Sextile Chiron: Cosmonauts do not look down on Earth with arrogance. This is a very promising aspect; in the spheres of the Planet, the person has a non-standard channel connecting them to the Cosmos, and processing it yields quite tangible results—unexpected but practical ideas and opportunities. However, to achieve this, one must move away not only from the standard social but even from the earthly way of seeing and perceiving, and to some extent master cosmic ethics. Chiron, as the symbolic ruler of the second house, is associated with the ethics of behavior in any environment, and in this case, the person must master both cosmic and earthly ethics, especially behavior in their borderland; only after this will they succeed in translating the subtle cosmic plan into earthly forms without crude distortion or profanation. And if this is achieved, the results can be astonishing. For example, a semi-sextile Chiron–Moon can grant subtle abilities in healing and diagnosing physical illnesses, but only on the condition that the person learns to consciously and subconsciously perceive themselves as a conduit of a higher healing (and accordingly, diagnostic) channel, and to see each of their patients as a microcosm that, during treatment, appears as an integral whole—or employs other, albeit quite abstract and cosmic concepts—but the main thing is to adhere to cosmic ethics of the corresponding egregore in earthly interactions with patients.
