mars conjunct chiron
-this aspect is associated with shame, as mars represents how we assert energy and chiron represents the area of life that we need to heal from; therefore when aspected, it represents more energy being brought to the pain from chiron which can often manifest as shame around this
-people with this aspect may experience a sense of conflict or struggle when it comes to asserting themselves or expressing themselves in some way; they may find that they experience obstacles that prevent them from being their truest self
-they may even feel ashamed about themselves in some way, and therefore feel a sense of shame when it comes to expressing themselves or putting themselves out there; which may make it difficult for them to express themselves to the world, and may cause them to feel insecure and lost
-they may experience some form of inner aggression which may stem from resentment, frustration, disappointment, feelings of inadequacy or discomfort or insecurity etc
-this aspect is usually a lesson to those who have it in their natal chart; the lesson being that the person with this aspect needs to eventually come to an understanding that they have nothing to be ashamed of; which may seem simple to some, but for those with this aspect this can be quite a complex and difficult conclusion to come to and is easier said than done
-because of their inner fear and shame surrounding their identity or self, they may struggle with being able to assert themselves well or go after what they want; this inner shame may cause them to struggle to want things or ask for things, feeling like they don't deserve it
-but this aspect is calling for the person with it to release their shame and learn to become more self-assertive, to believe that it is okay to seek what they want and go after it; at times, they may hold this belief that if they go after what they want, they will be hurting someone else in some way but this is not the case, it is okay to have your own wants and needs and pursue them
-this placement may manifest in other ways such as clumsiness or awkwardness that may be more obvious to others in comparison to the inner feelings of shame or resentment that the person may be hiding or dealing with deep down
-it is important that people with this aspect still try to push themselves to go after what they want as doing so will build their confidence and begin to help them release shame or feelings of low self worth
