Sun/Chiron unites ego with the wound, resulting in a blend of courage and vulnerability. Here is the wounded pioneer- you move into new territory with pride because of what hurts.
Purpose is fuelled by pain – you’re confronting the area of fear/weakness and making it part of your goals. You know the wound will never disappear so healing means coming to terms with this while choosing to live, not as a victim, but as an empathetic warrior.
Others who are wounded are drawn to your light.
Mercury/Neptune adds to the above with awareness of what transcends your immediate reality. The hot idea or impulsive remark is softened with compassion, imagination, spiritual vision. The new quest can take you further than you imagined and your eyes are opened to something magical. The blunt remark is infused with empathy as you somehow sense what the other person is going through. You see into the heart of the anger/passion and speak softly.
Finally, Mars (ruler of Aries) empowers all of the above with a harmonious aspect to Pluto. Conscious actions (Mars) are integrated with the great, unconscious current of dark power (Pluto) that flows beneath society. But you must take notice of the compulsive pull in a certain direction. And then you must act on it. When you do, you’ll find your efforts have maximum impact – courage and initiative will have an intensity that amplifies your power. You’ll be able to easily make changes in your surrounding environment without pushing others away.
