Mars Sextile Chiron

(Transit Mars → Natal Chiron)

Mars sextile: Work may be a duty or a means of survival, but never an honorable vocation. The sextile of Mars gives a person the opportunity to refine and raise the vibrational level of the energetic flow inherent to the Planet. This aspect offers prospects for constructive activity, during which the Planet (and Mars) is incidentally processed, and through which a person learns to harmonize their strength and energy with the needs of the Planet—presenting certain difficulties and requiring effort, though not excessive. If, on the contrary, one rejects all opportunities for constructive activity related to the Planet, after some time they may feel that the energy within them finds no satisfying outlet, becomes stagnant, and over time may lead to depression, feelings of inadequacy, or sudden disharmonious energy outbursts (aggression from the external environment). From the standpoint of inner life, this aspect enables raising the frequency of one’s own energy, occurring through interaction and visible adaptation of subconscious programs related to the Planet, and energetic, particularly ancient instincts, which thereby acquire a more civilized form. Here, processing allows for channeling destructive and low-level external energy into constructive frameworks. For example, a well-integrated Mars–Pluto sextile may produce an educator working with antisocial teenagers. Chiron sextile: Why are a person’s hidden potentials so carefully concealed from them? Because there is fear they might be sold into slavery. The sextile of Chiron gives a person opportunities for unconventional and almost unbelievable expansion of the Planet’s principle, though recognizing this—let alone manifesting it—is often difficult. The manifestation of this aspect may appear as unclear or puzzling circumstances in the areas ruled by the Planet, requiring considerable effort to understand, yet resulting in unexpected insight or an unconventional perspective on the given situation, which then acquires inner meaning. At a low level of integration, the Chiron sextile provides illusory possibilities for expansion and escape from developmental dead-ends related to the Planet’s principle, leading the naive, trusting, and success-seeking individual into chaos and inner sorrow. Chiron teaches one to work in an unconventional, reliable, and practical way, and above all, to resolve inner problems before addressing outer ones. A person can learn all this if they understand that the opportunities offered by Chiron’s sextile require not only honest work but also an unconventional approach, and possibly even parting with a portion of their accustomed worldview. Overall, this is a highly promising aspect, giving a person the opportunity to unravel complex and deeply hidden enigmas of their subconscious, illuminate and reliably bring into consciousness programs that seemed utterly inaccessible—sometimes leading to a qualitative leap in the areas ruled by the Planet. Working through this sextile enables not only choosing entirely original paths for developing the planetary principle, but also offering them to others.
