April, the beginning the new astrological calendar year when the Sun moves into Aries, the first house of the zodiac and Spring with the glorious rebirth and decorating of nature for pure enjoyment and appreciation.
The First House is where you focus on YOU. How you show up in the world. How you are perceived. The ego is strong. Self-worth and confidence should be high. You should be feeling your power to accomplish whatever you desire.
My favorite quote for this house is the one by Marianne Williamson:
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of “A Course in Miracles”
You have the God-given Power, my dear!
But….
- Why don’t I feel this power?
- Why don’t I know that I can be the light for others as well as myself?
- How do I truly feel that power and not fear?
The real reason? You truly feel the power through love. It’s always about love. And that begins with loving yourself first in order to have enough for everyone else in your life that you care about.
And you have divine permission to do just that.
Here is where I need to point out a tool to use to honor yourself and remember your power. (It never went away; you just ignored it for a while.)
To honor, respect and love you, it’s important to set boundaries with those around you whether personal, family or professional. ALL boundaries!
YOU have the power to set those boundaries and honor your spirit with love and respect.
HOW do I set boundaries with people I work with or people I love?
You already know the answer. You just need clarity on the how!
My reading special for this month is Setting Boundaries Tarot Reading. It’s 8 cards and 30 minutes with an additional 20 minutes to create a plan on setting your personal boundaries
Live with the light, power and freedom that you deserve!
Love,
Donna
