Chiron-Mars Synastry: The Fire That Heals

In astrology, asteroid Chiron represents some of our most poignant emotional wounds while Mars is all about action, energy, drive, passion and ambition. These two celestial bodies represent such different themes in astrology yet both are very intense components of any given birth chart. When the pair form synastric aspects, the stage is often set for an intense healing dynamic to take place between them and both parties stand to learn and grow a great deal.

While you read through this article, please bear in mind that all of our birth charts form synastry aspects that are both positive and negative. Navigating the more challenging ones can help us to learn and heal. Subsequently, we can emerge stronger and wiser from our toughest lessons and experiences.

Chiron Trine Mars Synastry

I think that this is a wonderful synastry or composite aspect. This combination illustrates the inclination the Mars person has to help heal their partner’s traumas and wounds, and eventually their partner may also wish to return the favour. The Mars person can see into the their partner and sense that they are carrying some emotional pain and try to help them resolve it. In today’s fast paced world, this seems fairly rare as relationships seem to be becoming increasingly ephemeral. 

The Mars person may go trying to help their partner address their previous hurts by making sure they listen to them talking about their negative experiences, and supporting and encouraging them in whatever form of healing they wish to undertake. They may be especially diligent about caring for the, especially if their partner hasn’t been blessed to with much care from others in the past. 

If the Chiron person doesn’t wish to face their past traumas, their partner will probably try to avoid any triggers they might have. This overlap also suggests that they will be there for them whenever they want to talk or show their feelings. If their character is naturally quite tactile, they might want to occasionally hold or kiss them as way of demonstrating their affection and support for them.

One they feel their partner is ready, the Mars person could help them to increase their self confidence, especially when dealing with others in both a personal and professional capacity. In turn, their partner might teach them how to be firm with others but also gentle and considerate. Sometimes, the Mars person’s approach may be a little too forthright which could ruffle the feathers of sensitive folk. You also never know what someone could be going through, and the Chiron person may often remind their partner of that fact.

Chiron Sextile Mars Synastry

Both partners are supportive of one another. The Chiron person admires and is inspired by their partner’s get and go attitude towards life, and in many cases, seeks to emulate it. The Mars person enjoys listening to their partner’s take on life, especially when it comes to their personal philosophy on life. Taking their perspective on board could eventually mean they have 

The Mars person also wants to help resolve the past traumas carried by their partner. While they may not be completely focused on intent on doing so, they certainly at least have the time and patience needed to help once their partner feels ready to address them, if they ever do.

Chiron Square Mars Synastry

This combination is, I think, one of the most challenging of all synastry aspects bearing in mind that Chiron represents our deepest wounds and Mars’ habit of running roughshod over others. The Chiron person may feel intimidated by the Mars person’s ambition, assertiveness, and directness. They may also find the amount of physical energy they have overwhelming and struggle to match it. They may feel like they are more of go-getter than them, and at times, that might make them feel left behind or left out. 

The Mars person may occasionally perceive their partner as being too soft-hearted or too easy-going and relaxed. They might find themselves wishing they were bolder and more goal oriented, even if by most people’s standards, the Chiron person is already fairly confident and successful.

The Mars person can really trigger deep wounds in their partner. Some of these wounds may be unresolved from previous lifetimes together. There may also be a lingering, uncomfortable tension between the two parties, the cause of which no one can quite put their finger on.

If the couple remain together for the long-haul, the Mars person may eventually come around to seeing their interactions with others through the lens of their partner, which could be more empathetic. A softer side to them may emerge as a result as their partner carefully explains to them why it’s so important to always be considerate and patient with people, no matter how they feel in the moment.

Every cloud has a silver lining, though; especially when it comes to astrology. Eventually, the Chiron person may feel inspired by their partner’s bold and confident behavior and try to emulate it. They might find that especially in the areas of life they struggle with, for instance, in their one-on-one work or business interactions.

This aspect formed between my chart and the chart of someone who I dated on and off for several years. For me, it was love at first sight and I found him incredibly interesting and intelligent but he also triggered my emotional wounds time and time again. I have no doubt that we have known each other in one or more past lives but our relationships may not have always been positive. The connection never worked out despite our best efforts although there were numerous other reasons as to why. 

Chiron Opposite Mars Synastry

Both partners may trigger each other with the Chiron person being slightly more triggered. They may have more difficulties to overcome within the connection but they also have more to learn and gain as a result. Both partners would benefit by supporting and comforting one another through their various difficult patches. Of course all relationships endure tough patches no matter how their charts tally up but when Chiron is involved, support is especially important.

Chiron Conjunct Mars Synastry

The Mars person may not mean to trigger their partner, but nevertheless, they do. This is most likely completely unintentionally, as the emotional wounds their partner carries are often incredibly well hidden. If the Mars partner is equipped with the love and patience needed to help their partner work through the things that hurt or bother them, they can encourage a significant amount of growth in their partner. This will also inevitably lead to a better, more supportive union that is likely to last the distance. Like the Square aspect, this is a tough aspect for Chiron, but the opportunity for personal and spiritual growth is huge.
