Reading this felt very 9 of wands to me - the card of the wounded soldier or the wounded healer, looking back at their past journey still clutching the last wand.
I when I see this card ask - what wounds am I holding onto?
What part of my journey still needs to be healed?
If I was to sit with my wounded healer and asked her about her journey, what would she tell me?
This heavily Martian energy ain’t for the weak. This wasn’t the type of New Moon where you charge crystals under it to promote healing and light a candle to feel like you’ve accomplished something real. Mars rules this Aries stellium and he doesn’t want manifestation work, that’s Venus’ business. He’s asking you to face yourself fully, to survey the battlefield without hopes or wishes and really look at the life you’ve been half-living and the places you’ve been stopping short of the thing you actually came here to do, and to decide right now, in this moment, that you’re done with that. He wants decisive action, and there’s a limited cache of patience to go around right now.
There are seven bodies in Aries right now which is not just a once in a lifetime event, but a once in a millennia event.. Two millenia in fact. (Pictured chart is the last time we experienced an Aries stellium that includes Mercury Mars Saturn and Neptune and Chiron- it was 232 AD)
Adding to that kind of pressure, the Sun and Moon are exact conjunction with Chiron so the fertile and most intentional moment in the lunar cycle is pressing itself directly into the wound. It would feel easier, inspiring even for it to be placed an arm’s length away, like gently approaching it from a safe distance. But the tight 30’ conjunction placed it right on top of such a vulnerable and powerful energy and forces us to either rise up to meet the evolution Chiron expects from us or descend deeper into our shadows and a larger mess of our own making.
Chiron in Aries is the wound of existing, it hurts to be seen, and the thought of initiating something new feels impossible and shame inducing. It holds the wound of wanting to advocate and win badly but being afraid deep down that the wanting itself is what’s wrong with you, not the current state of things. ----- (🔗to continue reading below)
