Yesterday, Mars, the god of war, moved into a new sign, and when that big gaseous planet moves, we usually feel its movement in the form of anger and irritation. But most of us have been told that anger needs to be controlled or suppressed, and that it’s a negative emotion, leaving us mired in frustration and rage as we try to manage it. However, anger can be the most honorable emotion you have, if you know what it is, why it appears, and how to work with it. For you see, anger comes from within you, and its job is to help you set and maintain effective boundaries around the things and ideas you value. At its core, anger is a reminder to set emotional boundaries. Boundaries define what's yours and what's not - your responsibilities, your control, your emotions. When we feel angry, it's often because we perceive a boundary violation. So today, set your intentions to get to know what's behind your anger. Do not avoid it, and do not use it as a weapon. Instead, use your anger as a catalyst. Let it inform you, motivate you, but not control you. The goal isn't to become anger-free. It's about becoming anger-wise by listening to it and understanding what it is telling you. Your anger is not your enemy. It's a powerful ally in your journey towards personal growth and healthier relationships. Today, embrace it, learn from it, and let it guide you towards a more authentic and fulfilling life.

Just for today, I respect my boundaries and I insist others do too. I am a master at setting healthy boundaries that protect my time, energy, creativity and emotional well being. I recognize that the only people who get upset with me setting healthy boundaries are the ones who are benefiting the most from me having none. I am safe. I love, honor, and respect myself. All is truly well in my world. And so it is.
