Chiron takes about 4 years to cross one sign. Everyone born inside that window has it in the same place, so this aspect is largely a description of the age gap between two people rather than of the relationship.

Put concretely: if you and your partner were born a few years apart, this aspect was decided by the calendar before either of you existed. Why 40.1% of searched aspects work this way →

What these two planets are doing

Chiron

The injury that became a competence.

Mars

Drive, appetite and how conflict gets handled.

At 90° the question this pairing raises is whether the same wound is being pressed or tended, set against whether wanting things together produces heat or friction. A square puts those two demands at odds rather than in agreement, which is why this aspect is read as work rather than ease.

Chiron moves 25 times slower than mars, so the faster one sets how long the exact angle holds.
